Anatole Mills
Growing up on a farm in Tasmania, Anatole soon decided flying was more fun than chasing cattle and traded in the Blundstones to begin a flying career.
With over 3,000 aerobatic sorties under his belt, Anatole has seen Melbourne as much upside down as right way up. A third generation pilot, grandfather Ernest Mills learned to fly in an autogyro in the 1930s and it was in his father’s bush planes that Anatole got the flying bug.
