FERNY Creek Primary School enjoyed a special visitor last week, with the Royal Flying Doctors touching down.
The event featured an aero-medical simulator and a life-size replica of a Flying Doctors plane fuselage, fitted out with communications and medical equipment.
The students were encouraged to climb inside the simulator fuselage to see how the medical equipment works.
They also had the chance to be strapped in to a stretcher, try on the headphones and speak in the microphones.
