Nice day for a crz in one of my RA toys, we’ll, maybe a little stretch of the imagination😉

Now that’s one way to ugly up a great looking plane!😂During a scramble I can see the airfield littered with splintered plywood, making A/C still taking off dodging the rubbish😂

I don’t know how I/we ever survived 40-50 years ago when the skies were very busy and GA was booming! Too many gadgets these days for VFR drivers getting distracted! KISS still works!

I’ve taken the jet I drive to 49K, thought that was special but 70K is almost out of this world😉

There’s bucket loads of info re this subject on the net but watching a vid of the U2 spy plane recently the cockpit camera showed an IAS 110 kts at 70000’👍

None of the big stuff I drove the CMD’er was able to confirm the door was closed! That was the trolley Dollie’s job😉

Being nervous is a good thing, kinda keeps you on your toes. whether you stay at the bottom of the ladder flying a bug smasher getting checked every couple of years or you get to the top in CMD of heavy metal getting g checked often, it’s all the same, a human flying a basic flying machine or a human flying a complex machine with a couple of hundred boguns in the back, flying is a skill, takes practice and constant assessment 👍

Used to judge your flair height😂

A real man’s cockpit there, they don't make ‘em like that anymore, pilots included👍

It’s actually called the ‘box office’ when two shielers are at the controls, scary stuff😂😂😉

Scheduled flight only on calm days😂 At least this fairytale stuff is entertaining 😂🛩

There’s no difference between the two in some ways, both were designed to kill!

Can’t see it’s use here for a very long time! It’s Australia remember!

Can’t do that jackc, I still fly professionally and my machines are based at a busy public place.

I wouldn’t give the RAaus the time of day if I had a choice but am stuffed if I wanna maintain my own lightweight machines!

Attention passenger, todays flight is cancelled due to the strong winds, 10mph headwinds has grounded us😂😂

There is a Sky Arrow 650 for sale on Planesales, similar concept?

During my last flight I saw the Ruskies take near 2 miles to haul this puppy into the sky in China, the land of fear!😂 YLRE sure was busy, old foggies in bus tours crawling all over the old dusty hardware!

Ouch! I see the light! ……oh no you don’t😂😂

Great shot👍I’m surprised there’s not a Jab in that picture😉😂

Flutter is not an issue if you fly responsibly within the design limits. I’ve driven numerous all flying tail planes, I’m still here😂

Another looooong night!🙁

The hysteria (cunning marketing)of the lead up to this launch and the cult following Vans have was the big driving force, I mean the design is as old as Noah😉👍 I expect they’ll be fun off their feet initially😂

Just ask Buffalo Joe😂👍😉

Now that’s brave!👍
