Syd sure has spectacular waterways! Love driving planes in and out of there when everyone is away holidaying, tomorrow they can have it to themselves!😂

I heard a new 915 is just short of $60K! Ouch! An engine doesn’t know it’s close to TBO, don’t mention it to the donk and keep flying😉

Jabiru and Jetstar near miss by 600ft
Flightrite replied to Admin's topic in Aircraft Incidents and Accidents
How did we ever survive pre digital when GA was flourishing? I use both OZ & AV, both have their advantages but to me OZ is simpler if flying grass roots, AV much better for IFR planing etc. Driving heavy metal OCTA into Ctafs is a risk, an acceptable risk, this event has been hyped up a fair bit I reckon! -
That’s very brave😉👍

My last flight, well it is the title of the forum😂 I hate being a pax, (especially with an 18 month old kid sitting on mums lap next to me screaming!) I feel like a fish out of water!🙁 Miserable WX in SY today!

There will always be idiots out there to entertain us😂 -
Mangalore incident today (19/2/2020)
Flightrite replied to biggles's topic in Aircraft Incidents and Accidents
The chances of colliding mid-air would be so remote it’s hard to believe this even happened. I still can’t believe CG is gone😞 such a tragic accident which shook up so many of us in those circles😞 -
It’s actually common knowledge (to those within the inner circle) that CASA want to hand over the control of GA up 1.5t as I mentioned earlier but the hype of .76t as become the main focus.

That’s what the set up I used to be involved with was, not so much a free swinging axe but an axe head of sought captured in a guide frame, then being belted with a mash hammer, we used to simulate it and it actually worked quite well.

The ‘axe’ comment reminded me of the days towing targets for the Navy in an old PA31. The ‘axe’ was placed in a specially built frame suspended over the cable, should the cable winch fail or the target was shot up by the Navy gunners ( whom I might add never once hit the target😂😂) and couldn’t be safely reeled in then a large mash hammer chained to said frame was used to belt the crap out of the cable!😂 Footnote: with the target extended the old PA31 would descend at around 500fpm on one donk at combat power! Great times, many years ago now👍

There sure has been some ugly A/C over the years!😂

Easy fix. I put all my fuel Caps on my seat until they are needed to fill the hole/s in the wing, pain in the ass it is ………BUTT😂 Had one left of my A320 many years ago, got a message from ATC b4 we lined up, fuel guy has yr cap in his truck!
-
CAsA would love to offload the burden of GA to RAAus up to 1500 kgs, but most of us here will be worm food b4 it becomes reality!

Too many events were on the same W/E!☹️ -
Not a good spot to be sitting in there!

You flew 16 nm in that thing? Now that’s adventurous!😉😉

I was over in sheep shaggers country recently and spotted the old Convair, still operational for Chatham’s but the gas man said they are retiring them, going jet!
