facthunter Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Medical episode BEFORE taking off? That must be a human factors issue. Landing is mandatory. Taking off isn't. (Unless your iceberg is melting or the Indians are coming over the hill). Nev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamel Posted January 31, 2016 Author Share Posted January 31, 2016 You have to love how they change the stories! The first article they had on this link made it out to be an aircraft crash! I guess we can never know if or when we are going to have a heart attack , better it be just before take off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

facthunter Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Better to be the reason for NO take off. Murdoch press getting it wrong. What an interesting thought. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabiru7252 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Our newspapers have become so trashy and amateurish it's a joke. And the spelling and grammar is pathetic. Let's hope our fellow pilot at Cobdogla comes out of this okay... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is the man that gave me my invader and help me out with the jackaroo He was also going to be a main character in movie . We had plans of turning my lightwing into a float plane for movie I really am very sad. And shocked This morning right before passing he sent me message - he was in his hangar just about to drag his new Baby ( slipstream) out for a taxi run. He mentioned how perfect the weather was. And also mentioned having trouble dragging out the big beast.. But was in very positive spirits about doing a taxi run.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

facthunter Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 There is always a big gap when someone you know well and have "arrangements" to do things with is no more. It takes time to really come to grips with the fact that this has changed, and some things are not going to happen as they would have. There is only one thing you can do and that is just keep going, IF it's really what you want.. Even though an aircraft is involved, it's not an aeroplane accident as such. In some ways it would be worse IF he got airborne. . Nev 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teckair Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 New TV series, "Farmer wants a by-pass". Not funny mate, spare a thought for those that knew the guy. This is totally unexpected, he really was not that old probably a similar age to many on these forums, I am totally shocked. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butch Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Take every day as it comes.....my older brother (60) has just been told he has Motor Neuron Disease. He wouldn't fly with me, thought it was too dangerous. Enjoy life ....chase your dream and don't say one day........one day it may be to late ! I'd rather die trying than wishing I had tried ! 5 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red750 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I've said it before, and as a cancer patient in remission, a pacemaker recipient and a car accident survivor, I'll say it again. Live every day as if it's your last, because someday you're going to be right. There are things I can never do again due to my various conditions, such as flying PIC, and I regret that every day. Doug was in his element, doing what he loved till his last minute. RIP Doug. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
