Wow, just wow!?

Ok let's say that you typed in a place using the full spelling EG: Lombadina (that makes you happy) & I type in YLBD, what's the difference? Few would know where the joint is anyway spelt fully or using its aviation identity!!

I've also found the RAAF very friendly, just ask, if they can't then that's that!

That was so tragic, more tragic that it need not have happened! We will never know but I'll bet some pressure was on the pilot to get there!

YBDG is about 55nm wsw of YSHT? You can't be serious? Are you a pilot?? I thought this was an aviation related forum ?

I guess you find it like any other A/C of its yours you should know where it is anyway??? I have a friend with the Rotax Brumby, it's been a lemon from day one!

collapsable fuel containers are the go!?

I recall the wrecked one hidden behind a hangar at YBDG ages ago! They where pests in the circuit!

Seen a few of the yellow pests on various sales sites in recent times.

Yeah the donk I have has the NGK Iridium's, I re gapped them at 0.25 thou, they where around 0.30, runs well.

The rules are B& W in the Regs, that's not the issue, just that a lot of pilots are lazy and unprofessional at the Pvt Level, RPT drivers and ultralight drivers alike! I try to avoid CTAF's on the w/e's on nice days, the risks go thru the roof! The accent issue is only part of it. I put some of the blame on instructors and checkers, (BFR's) they let so much poor skills go thru to the keeper! I've said this numerous times, it's way too easy to get a pilots license and keep it, it shows thee poor R/T and almost non existent airmanship out there daily!

Sue I liked your little story, funny how life works out.?

WA has some stunning geography, the best state scenic wise!? If you want to see some of the most fractured stunning coastline then fly the Boneparte Archipelago, did that in the 80's, low level, never forget it?

Flying is an addiction, it can be spoiled by a few things however, cost, convenience and risk, manage them & the only limit will be gravity, enjoy the ride??

Noice. Read everything you can about the training wheel version of the Vans, a new owner needs to be well informed? Best bang for buck the RV's are?

You are indeed fortunate?

I bought a used Narco radio a little while back from the States, packaged weight 4lbs, shipping cost $A125!! Took 10 days which I thought was pretty fast compared to Aussie post stand alone!

What do most people do to door to door salesmen? Slam the door in their faces!

Welcome aboard, enjoy the ride, lots of topics to entertain you from feet putting to sleep threads to I'll meet you behind the pub threads???

Contacting and expecting a reply fromany minister or public official to air your concerns would be like having a chat with the garden gnomes at the bottom of your garden! Nothing will ever get done , it's Australia remember a third world country with a first world fascade!

Repcon is voluntary, optional just like opinions!

Wow that's cutting it fine, I'd never fly under those conditions/numbers, one change in your plans and it's all over! like I said scary! That 7 sure did create some talk up there over the couple of days it was there!

Now there's a happy face?? I kept the same smile during?

I have 3 offspring, I was very lucky, none took the slightest interest in aviation, phew!?
