4000-hours on the CH-47 Chinook with Greg Maiden and Aaron Jones - Boeing Defence Australia


Listen Later

On today’s show I’m joined by Greg Maiden and Aaron Jones from Boeing Defence Australia. Greg recently achieved an incredible milestone in his aviation career as the first aircrew member to achieve 4000 hours on the CH-47 Chinook. Greg always had an interest in aviation and his career in the Army began in 1990 as an avionics technician. He first encountered the CH-47 Chinook in 1994 when he was amongst the first members of the Australian Defence Force to be trained on the aircraft in the United States. Fast forward to 1999 and Greg’s career in aircrew began. Greg was lucky enough in his career to undertake multiple international and Australian deployments which included several tours in Afghanistan. Greg is now an integral part of the School of Army Aviation with Boeing Defence Australia’s Army Aviation Training and Training Support program He looks likely to retain his record stating that he plans to remain flying until he is forced to retire. As you would know, the ADF could not, and does not operate in isolation. It’s supported by thousands of passionate people in the defence industry. Today I’m also joined by Aaron Jones. Aaron is a Senior Manager of the Sustainment Support Group for the CH-47. He’s responsible for the support of Chinook maintenance and training in Australia and he looks after the close working relationship that Boeing has with the Australian Defence Force.   Hosted & Produced by Robert Brus (C) 2018 Aviator Media Pty Ltd   https://www.australianaviation.com.au
