Dentist at Large – Sky, Sea, Mountains – Part 1 – SKY

May 19, 2025

Time to explore other realities! Managed to get a way on some short breaks recently.

I wish, but that’s not me, but it can be you for $3,000 for 30min
This is the actual fully restored jet fighter that will do it for you

Where?

HARS Aviation Museum at Shellharbour Airport

This place is run by volunteer engineers, flight staff and air crew. Some work on the maintaining or restoring the multitude of aircrafts. Some are airworthy. Some are guides. They literally have to guide you around as the whole site is a workshop and you have to be careful where you can go. They, of course, talk about the aircrafts form the outside and, some from the inside.

They don’t let you go into the cockpit of the Boeings anymore, but this one is OK
We’ve come a long way to getting around quicker, unless you’ve taken the budget flight packages

Now a dental twist. A fellow dentist once had a stint with the Flying Doctor Service. So, she became the flying dentist, serving the outback of Australia.

A patient in a past flying doctor plane. The planes and equipment have come a long way, and so have the patients!
The plane used by the Flying Doctor Service. The service is still a vital connection to rest of Australia.

So many planes and stories from war and peace times. Aviation is complex and requires a lot of skill sets. The volunteers aren’t getting any younger. Absolutely a treat to visit. They are still getting planes as it a place where they can be persevered and sometimes get them back into the air.

Sometimes they appear in movies and ads…

I’ve had that feeling

Worth a look and the guides have real experience and knowledge, unlike a Google search. There is an entry fee of $25, unlike a Google search… for now.

I have this parked out in the backyard... does hang over the neighbour’s a bit. This can never leave as the driveway needs to be 3km long!
