Dion You could get her to talk to Tony Bernardo at Australian Aerospace at RAAF Edinburgh.
Aust Aero (Edn) may be able to offer her a week of work experience. High school students typicall get to cover the range of activities carried out here including: work on the hangar floor with a P-3, logisitics, engineering (with one of my blokes - probably Jonothan Icimsoy if you have bumped into him in gliding circles), project management, finance and business management. It isn't the Air Force, but it is the next best thing as a Defence Contractor (actually from my point of view it is better than the Air force). Talk to Tony Bernardo on 08 8256 3423 or [EMAIL PROTECTED] Positions may be limited and we have already got two high school students coming through that I know of. Make sure she has a look through http://www.ausaero.com.au/ first as a bit of pre-knowledge about Aust Aero (particularly the Edinburgh and Richmond sites with the P-3) will go a long way.
