R/T is so quiet these days, feels like I'm the only one up there, ATC must be falling alseep?

When I first started driving planes I bought a Tandy airband recieved and listed as much as I could. I'd recommend listening out from the various avenues, much can be learned in the real world!?

Was wondering when someone would bring that up?

I've been out flying sorry?

Welcome, hope you've been Covid tested??

All true, well to me anyway. Doesn't bother me what other people do, having also driven semi's a good truck driver had plenty of grease for his turntable? since my apprenticeship days 47 years ago I'll continue spraying all my hinges and greasing everything that moves if I can,I sleep well at night?

Ah got out for a spin today left all the fear and hysteria behind!? Life's good??

Haha probably true! In another life I cut my teeth on Pommy junk cars, the Pomms where obviously drunk on Guinness when they designed a lot of their working machinery! The DH104's I used to drive where an ergonomic disaster!?

Been towing stuff all my life including vans around Oz a few times in very dusty conditions, always greased the tow ball, never seen any wear that is detectable! The only downside is that they are messy if you brush up against a tie ball, yuk?

It just means the detector has reached a set limit, doesn't mean you die on the spot! You land when you can?

Touché', love it!?

I don't see 'site donations' on the left if my screen?

That's exactly what I do. These days I fly when I want to fly, to hell with sched's, TS's and MEL's??

You keep coming up with the facts KR, good work!? If this killer virus is so fatal then why are all the cops and other checkers not wearing full pressure bio hazard suits instead of $1 cheap face masks?

ARO see my post #131, get back to me when we have that situation! Till then it's hysteria and fear that is out of control!

Hope yr Vans is 4x4 capable!? Be very careful Thruster, I've seen a few A's on their lids!

INOX MX3, been using it for a long time and grease on my tow ball?

That's an extreme POV that not everyone shares!

Well said?

There's always one!

I agree. We are carpet bombing the nation to save a few who where venerable in the first place to a whole host of related viruses! I'm still waiting to see the dead bodies piled up on the streets that match the current hysteria we are being fed with! Remember everything dies ventually!

Oh I'm so glad I get in my Lyc powered machine and turn the key then fly.... The 'kiss' method has worked for longer than most here have been on the planet!?? I do the one thing that these engines love, being used!?

6-10 hrs on Spits then thrown into battle wasn't uncommon! I/we can never imagine for one minute what that would have been like for those young keen/petrified airman, to handle a high perf machine all the while being shot at!! Me takes me hat off to the few that where cut from a different cloth to the youngins these days!!?

I used to use the scratch pad in the ScareBus for a clearance that was rather long winded. Like hold at xxx, depart xxx to cross yyy @ time 50 then 220kts, advise if unable! All while the head trolley dolly was pushing the call button!?

Again well said? The continuous destruction of our economy by the hysteria will have far more reaching problems for everyone in the future than any incurable virus!
