It’s March 25th, 1999, and Australia’s most remarkable prison
escape has just taken place, after a helicopter hovers
above the recreation grounds at the Silverwater maximum
security prison, in Sydney. In the blink of an eye, a prisoner
runs towards the chopper, climbs onboard, and is on his way to
freedom.

This is the story of that airborne escapee, John Killick, a man
who spent much of his life leading the authorities on a merry
dance. Somehow he survived his dangerous escapades and many
prison stints.

Today, in his early 80s, John is a writer, a public speaker. and
a counsellor to ex-crims.
