On this day in Australian aviation history:

1929 Two Dutch air squadrons met and escorted the Fokker F.VIIb/3m 'Southern Cross', when the aircraft landed at Amsterdam, The Netherlands at 11.30 am on 19 July 1929. Charles Kingsford Smith flew the aircraft from London to the Fokker factory at Schiphol for reconditioning. Kingsford Smith, Ulm, Litchfield and McWilliams were given a welcome by the Civic authorities with a reception at the Schipol Aerodrome in which prominent Dutch flyers, and representatives of the naval and military services joined. The Southern Cross crew then paraded through the streets of Amsterdam which were lined with thousands of enthusiastic spectators, and were hosted by the Fokker Company at a luncheon at the Carlton Hotel.

1999 A Bureau of Air Safety Investigation report on regional air travel raised issues of wide concern. A separate House of Representatives Committee Inquiry into managing fatigue received submissions from aircraft engineers who complained of excessive working hours that resulted in mistakes.
