I do wish Dick Smith well. He has been trying for years now to get the Australian aviation system to closely resemble the US aviation system (NAS). The funny thing is, even though Australia has been slow in implementing any change they received the contract to man US systems in Hawaii.

If you want to read more of Dick Smith’s efforts over the years here is his web site. It’s a bit hard to follow since nothing is in chronological order.
