Australian Aviation’s “Boo”, a former F/A-18 Hornet pilot, talks about his love of the RAAF and how he dug deep to transition away from the ADF when a degenerative condition cut short his career

It was also a career cut short after the diagnosis of an auto-immune disease called ankylosing spondylitis, a big name for a degenerative condition that robs you of mobility and sets you up for a life of pain management and medication.
So began the start of my transition from the RAAF into business and the beginning of a comfortable relationship with transition and change — a relationship I unwittingly developed as a fighter pilot.
