Ron Field is the old and wise of the team. He spent many years in the jewelery industry and then went onto manage a small successful business in Caboolture. One day Ron heard this voice from above (No not god), it was a pilot yelling "G’Day" at him from a drifter, just above the trees. From this day forward Ron has been a passionate aviator. He has owned a handful of aircraft and is his prized possession is his red Murphy’s Renegade which is known by many as "The Red Barron". Over the last decade he has been developing an airfield know as ‘Archer Falls Airfield’ or to some as Aviators Paradise.
