 The basic Hercules mission of moving passengers and cargo has had many different doctrinal and colloquial names over the years. The modern Australian Defence Force term is Air Logistics Support (or ALS for short). A widely used colloquial term is ‘trash-hauling’. 

This episode covers three general topics, all to do with the main business of moving passengers and cargo. 

• The mechanics behind ‘normal’ cargo and/or passenger runs. 
• Couriers - also known as Service Flights.
• Passenger conditions in the cargo hold of C-130s.

This episode covers three different topics, all of which led to the first C-130A task:

1. Improvements made at RAAF Richmond (the home base for 36 Squadron's C-130As).
2. The acceptance and ferrying of the new C-130As from the US to Australia, and
3. The strategic situation that resulted in the first C-130A task: a flight to RAAF Butterworth, Malaya.

In preparation for receiving their new C-130A Hercules aircraft, the Royal Australian Air Force assigned C-130 crews and support staff for its new capability. Along with those who would use its capabilities, they all needed training. That training was partially accomplished in the USA as part of the Lockheed contract, and some of it occurred in Richmond, New South Wales, Australia.  

Guest Col Coyne is a retired Royal Australian Air Force Warrant Officer and C-130 Loadmaster who specializes in airman aircrew history. He is also the President of the 37 Squadron Association. He joined Workhorse for this episode and provided excellent insight into the airman aircrew, air movements and loadmaster aspects of C-130A training. 

This episode covers the strategic circumstances of the 1950s that led Australia to buy the C-130A; thus making the Royal Australian Air Force the first foreign operator of the mighty Hercules.

This episode describes the development of the C-130 Hercules in the early 1950s.

For this episode we are joined by Clifford Morgan, an endorsed organisational psychologist and leadership expert with over fifteen years of service with the Royal Australian Air Force. His years of service leading and coaching people – both in uniform and out – bring a wealth of experience that provides a unique perspective to assist his clients.

As a coach Clifford has worked with CEOs, military commanders, government executives and business and community leaders across a wide variety of industries. 

In this episode Cliff shares:

• His definition of leadership and how it shows up outside of work places
• The pros and cons of military style leadership
• How he made leadership mistakes by initially coming in too hard on the people in his team
• Why a coaching skillset is a great tool for leaders
• How the wrong communication style once lost him his entire team of volunteers in 1 month
• His advice for problem solving and developing yourself

Can we compare Putin's leadership with that of the Queen? What is oikophobia and do you have any? Plus women in military bands and how about some boiled tongue for dinner tonight?

When the future king and his wife visited Australia in 1927 to open Parliament House, the trip was marred by a bizarre string of RAAF air tragedies. 

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today's Zero Limits Podcast we speak to Christian Boucousis better known as "Boo", Boo is a former RAAF Fighter Pilot, successful business owner and now professional speaker.

Boo was selected for pilot training in the Royal Australian Air Force at the age of 18, successfully graduating as a fighter pilot, one of only 400 fighter pilots trained over a period of 40 years, achieving my life's dream of flying a F/A-18 solo at the age of 21.

After 11 years of service, Boo was medically discharged after a diagnosis of "bone-fusing" Ankylosing Spondylitis, ending his dream career and presenting with one of the biggest emotional and financial challenges of his life.

With no other skills other than flying, Boo took a leap of faith to enter the business world, travelling to Afghanistan to establish what is today one of the world's largest humanitarian service providers, CTG Global. As a founder and CEO of a multi-million dollar enterprise, Boo considered this period of my life as the ultimate MBA program.

From walking the halls of the UN in New York and Geneva to sharing life experiences with local Afghans, Boo developed a true understanding of purpose, empathy, determination, and the importance of service leadership when running a complex business.

From Afghanistan, Boo returned to Australia to establish Mode Developments, a property development business founded to build the world's first prefabricated high-rise hotel, the $42 million Peppers King Square Hotel in Perth. Using technology which he likes to call grown-up "Lego" the business set new records for high-rise construction, building a full floor each day!

In 2015 Boo experienced an epiphany whilst listening to an inspiring keynote delivered by a good friend and Afterburner speaker. In that moment, Boo realised the $15 million dollar training program Boo participated in as a fighter pilot equipped me with the skills to achieve his business success. This moment inspired Boo to become a Partner within the Afterburner eco-system and share these secrets to success with others as a custodian of the "fighter pilot way".
