I dont know, I get the "its only original once" argument, but its the same with restoring classic cars - its either going to rot away into ruin. or be displayed and enjoyed by many. https://www.thedrive.com/news/barn-find-maserati-restoration-sparks-online-anger-from-collectors we all know the story of the wreck - but I think in a generation or two it would be more appreciated as the complete aircraft. how many famous wrecks do you remember as opposed to complete aircraft?

1211 Threebond, its what we use on all the 2 stroke jetski motors, I know Ducati uses Threebond 1215 instead traditional gaskets in all their modern motors.

Used to be quite a common conversion on Harleys and BMW. good torque for highway speeds, and had better carburetors for touring (altitude, humidity)

Im not sure with Harry, I would think William is more deserving of the award for the work he did with flying medivac choppers. donating the wage to charity. But Harry as a person - well at some point you have to give up your extended family to focus on your own family - which is what I think he did. he had a kid and a wife. regardless of if the royal life was toxic, I think in his eyes he put his family first and didn't want to break that up. he gets some respect for that. the media stuff - I don't know, I guess it was a way to fund a lifestyle without any other income and well his "Royal duty" was over once William had his son be interesting to see the Royals survive going forward. William and Kate could keep it going - but will it survive in relevance till then.

Am I the only one who thinks this isn't the worst option, good legroom

wonder how much thrust is provided by the exhuast

The Jaguar Pilots when Oman first got them had a reputation for low flying... till a Pilot got a bit too low...

Because girl power.... its amazing how much the "you go girl" "yas slay queen" attitude is around, for any job that isn't "ordinary" with a women. wait till you hear about "Tunnel Girl" and her supporters - just because she wears a dress and pearls

over Christmas I walked into JB Hi-Fi, and bought a Drone for $70 in the boxing day sale. about what you could expect. 6 min runtime, crappy webcam like camera that is more moving images then video. but was a ton of fun. already looking at throwing some floats on it and using it at the river. but got me hooked, looking at the DJI's but cant justify the money yet. (big step up in price, sort of goes $100 toy, $500 entry level, $1500 enthusiast level)

Is it sad that the first thoughts I had were to buy shares in Boeing and wait for the rebound? I think in the USA's eyes it's too big to fail. government will make sure it's supported

was looking at another forum and picked up some interesting info. this summary in the agreed consensus (my comments from other info provided in the same thread in bold) https://www.pprune.org/accidents-close-calls/656665-jal-incident-haneda-airport-20.html

taken from reddit, which was taken from a Bloomberg article behind a pay wall Something else that has come to light is there was a NOTAM that the stop bar lights were not operating

Yeah, there is so many questions and the only thing being reported are the airlines side. And not much about the lead up. Haven't heard anything about how the dash-8 was hit. Was it crushed, flipped etc... that would tell us a lot. I just find it strange the footage must be there of the dash-8 taxiing onto the runway before the incident. The only thing I can think of is that if happens so early enough that its too big of a break for the networks 30 second attention getting clip. They all start at the crash and track the airliner down the runway. Apparently the dash-8 was told to taxi and hold, so maybe heard enter and hold. Only way it makes sense in my mind they are sitting on that runway not moving. And the garbled recording isn't helping. Now how do I put this delicately - Asian cultures have a trait of not speaking up and questioning leaders. And I have read several articles about this culture being ingrained in their airlines - so when I said there was 4 pilots listening to the radios... did 2 feel they were unable to speak?

I assumed it was already lined up, hard to see behind you there was a minute and a half between the clearance to land and the crash. that's a good 7km out, I don't have anywhere near the experience to know if I could tell what parallel runway they are lined up for at that distance but I cant find any footage from the surveillance camera that isn't cut to 1/2 a second before the moment of impact. I saw one that showed a flash of Nav lights before the crash, that was where id expect to see of an aircraft holding before take-off but its a split frame and had to watch multiple times to confirm it. once again, hope its not a stupid case of "but I had right of way" - unfortunately both captains say they had clearance.... If its a clear visible night then I think both could be held equally culpable for not sighting the other. but then they equally could be responsible for inattention on the radio calls. surely the dash-8 would have made an "enter and hold 34R" just as the airbus pilot confirmed "clearance to land 34R" I assume there was 4 pilots with transmit buttons But I fly visual rules from an uncontrolled airport in daylight. so its just armchair analysis without any experience and knowledge

wiki is wrong.... found the source (now listed) Audio from LiveATC.net appears to detail the crew reading back a clearance order for runway 34, saying “cleared to land 34 right.” and from the financial post At a press conference Tuesday night, JAL officials said they believed Flight 516 had permission to land, though they weren’t yet drawing conclusions. It wasn’t clear whether the coast guard plane was also given clearance to be on the runway — instructions were garbled on the ATC recording.

Wikipedia has this: the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) announced that prior to the accident, air traffic controllers cleared the Japan Airlines aircraft to land on the runway 34 left, while the Coast Guard aircraft was instructed to hold short of the runway, and remain on the taxiway but it doesn't have the source linked while multiple sources are listed for the aircraft collided with a Japan Coast Guard DHC-8-315 Dash 8 while landing at Haneda Airport on runway 34R

the runway was 34R, so confusion with 34L is a possibility... its a shame with a dual runway that they don't have one dedicated to landings and another dedicated to take-offs. guess there is a ton of $$$ in time saved lining up for take-off while the landing plane clears. the airline has already come out and said that they had clearance to land... coast guard was about to take off. maybe the ATC didn't have the separation timed right. either way I want to know why neither of the Airbus Pilots saw Red and Green lights on the runway and didn't think to go-around. that's one of the most basic checks before commitment to the landing (Runway clear, carby heat off) I think we have all had an aircraft at some point still on the runway when we are on final and made that call. hope its not a stupid case of "but I had right of way" https://uploads.guim.co.uk/2024/01/02/moment_of_collision_loop.mp4 can clearly see the aircraft lights just before the impact

not that it makes a difference, But anyone know what the laws are in the USA about low flying. see a ton of youtubers flying low though canyons etc... does this normalize the behavior here?

Here you all go, https://www.socialaustralia.com.au/topic/2196-electric-car-thread/

can we just create a whole separate thread for the electric stuff. feel like its grown way beyond aviation and especially Jabiru's future. maybe best discussed in the off topic section? I'm normally all for thread drift... but not 10 pages worth

I still don't get why we don't just store the nuclear waste at Woomera, its not like its ever going to be open to the public, security and transport routes are already there including rail. And a proper storage facility might be able to help with Maralinga when they decide to try cleaning it again...

Hey that's a good point. does this mean we get reverse thrust by spinning it backwards on landing? maybe negating the extra weight of the batteries - compared to having burnt off fuel?
