Flying the F/A-18 with SQNLDR Phil Eldridge

On today's show we are joined by one of the Royal Australian Air Force's most experienced combat pilots, SQNLDR Phil Eldridge. Phil is the Executive Officer of number 2OCU, he's a qualified Fighter Combat Instructor and has almost 30-years of air force experience. With 2 operational tours in the middle east and an absolute love of flying he is one of the RAAF's demonstration pilots for the classic version of the F18. The next chance that you'll get to see Phil and the F18 demonstration will be at the Temora airshow warbirds downunder on Friday the 12th and Saturday the 13th of October 2018. Listen in as Phil shares his passion for aviation and what its like to take the F18 out as a demonstration pilot. If you get the opportunity to come out to Temora make sure you pop over and say hi to him and don't forget to have a chat with all of the support crew as well, without them none of the cool demos we get to watch can happen.
