Manders, Brett: - Brett Manders is a pilot with an Australian Airline. A former Naval Officer, he felt ships travelled too slowly, so turned his skills to flying. He has over 10,000 hours flying experience and has flown Airbus A320, A321, A330, and the Boeing B787 Dreamliner. He is completing a Bachelor of Aviation Management and currently conducts type-rating training on the B787 Simulator. He has lived in Singapore and all over Australia, but currently calls Melbourne home. Brett lives with his wife, Kirsty, daughter Amara and his dog, Harvey. He still enjoys going to the airport even when on vacation, and still looks up to watch planes fly overhead. Brett is an avid reader who loves bike riding, the gym, and is a passionate supporter of the Richmond Football Club.
