Blueadventures Posted January 8 Author Posted January 8 Aircraft dropped into Boonah on the way to New Caledonia.
Red Posted January 8 Posted January 8 One visits my Local airport from time to time when they have too many Skydive bookings for the resident Caravan to manage alone.

Red Posted Thursday at 06:39 AM Posted Thursday at 06:39 AM Thank you Captain Obvious, though I believe you mean Turbine
facthunter Posted Thursday at 06:44 AM Posted Thursday at 06:44 AM Only turbo props have BETA and not all of them, Red (herring)? Shall we stop the Insults before it starts.? Nev

facthunter Posted Saturday at 12:40 AM Posted Saturday at 12:40 AM I'm NOT implying anything but it's an unfortunate photo, is it not? Pointing it out, DOESN''T make ME racist. Nev

facthunter Posted Saturday at 02:55 AM Posted Saturday at 02:55 AM UTTER BS. Pointing it out CAN NOT be racist. Where is the" Logic" Part of YOUR brain? Can't we have sensible discussion here anymore and free speech. It's NOT ME who should explain myself. Nev 1

facthunter Posted Saturday at 03:08 AM Posted Saturday at 03:08 AM The Picture might not look good when it's promulgated. That's NOT My doing. It's in the Public Domain.. Should comment be forbidden like it is in some countries you wouldn't want to live in.? I think NOT. Nev 1
facthunter Posted Saturday at 03:22 AM Posted Saturday at 03:22 AM Sorry but I have strong views on these matters. When I saw it , it just "Jumped Out" at ME. Not suggesting it was arranged. People may have a feeling where they should place themselves. I always look who gets in the front of a Photo. IT can tell you things. By rights it should be the shortest. Nev
onetrack Posted Saturday at 04:08 AM Posted Saturday at 04:08 AM The "pushy" always get to the front of a photo if the photographer doesn't issue strict instructions. Just look at Trump, he shoves others aside to get front and centre of any photo opportunity.

facthunter Posted Saturday at 06:27 AM Posted Saturday at 06:27 AM Butt out Red ,You are supposed to be a moderator and not pile on people you have shown constantly that YOU don't like. There is NO justification for censuring what I've said and I'lltake this one as far as you like if you continue in this Manner . I'm asking you to withdraw your comment. Do the right thing. You are out of Order. Nev
