Squadron Leader Phil Frawley retired from the RAAF at the end of June, concluding a long flying career in which he’s piloted everything from Mirages, Hornets and C-130s to Fokker DR1, P-40 Kittyhawk and Grumman Avenger warbirds.
Six months more and he could have made a full half century in the RAAF and maybe 500 RAAF pilots trained. He’s had to settle with 499.

says:Seriously, why on EARTH am I paying an annual subscription fee when you guys post half the articles on the website for free now! A waste of my money and I won’t be renewing later this year that’s for sure. I’ll just keep checking the website for all the content for free.

says:Hi Simon,
Thanks for the feedback we really appreciate it. Rest assured less than 20% of our magazine content is published on the feature section of our website. From time to time if there is a timely piece we’ll publish it online. Today we posted last months feature on Phil Frawley as we believe he is one of the greatest role models in aviation and his retirement from the RAAF deserved the widest distribution possible.
As a member you’ll always receive fresh content a week before we go on sale in the magazine and months prior to select features posted online.
Once again thanks for your feedback and your loyal support.
Boo
