As a dad of 4, 6 and 8 year olds, I can tell you that today's heros are someone on You Tube demonstrating how to play with a toy, animating lego construction or giving ponies a 'make over'. No longer do kids dream of becoming an astronaut, but a celebrity "You Tuber"![

That's Ron Watts' (former MAF, based at Wollongong, ..er .... whatever it's called now) It's as gorgeous on the inside as out and lovely to fly.

Hi all, From a report in the AFR: https://www.afr.com/property/commercial/from-battle-planes-to-offices-or-shops-the-oaks-is-up-for-sale-20190827-p52l3s Opportunity knocks!! (trying to be optomistic) Hopefully for an aviation lover! Don't know where they got the '200 flights a day' figure from! Chris

Chrism replied to DrZoos's topic in Governing Bodies
So, can anyone tell me why an RAA instructor has to pass a Class 2 medical? Chris -
Well there you go........we don't fly for money do we!!

Gliding clubs Sydney basin.
Chrism replied to ben87r's topic in Gliders and Soaring Aircraft Usergroup
Further on what Terry said, a bunch of us from SRFC (Oaks) did some glider spin recovery training with the Southern Cross Club and I thought it and they were absolutely fantastic. Chris -
Passed the RAAus to RPL conversion today

Congrats... and thanks for such an informative post. Hope to do it out of a Foxbat too someday. Chris -
Thanks for the post and comments Phil, and others. I have made a bit of a habit of over the last few years, checking his listing on Wikipedia every couple of months to check if he is still with us on this earth. Each time I would re-read his accomplishments and follow some of the links. No matter how many times I had done it, I still was fascinated and astounded by his amazing life and character. Hope I can someday meet him in Heaven! By the way i think he was 97, not 94, being born on 21st Jan 1919

Airstrip/hangar in the Canberra or Goulburn area
Chrism replied to dodo's topic in AUS/NZ General Discussion
Forgive me for being naïve or stupid, but isn't it the SAFE and proper thing to do to land on the most into-wind runway? So isn't it true that if an operator says you can't use runway XY, that is still serviceable, it is detrimental to safety? therefore shouldn't CASA be sternly saying that you can't say that? Cheers, Chris -
Hi Maj I hope you and others bother with this forum because there are lots of members like me (read lots, post little) who are kept informed by the fact you do. So thanks and keep bothering! PS understand perfectly what you and Jim say about moving/not moving

Merv, Aerogirl, There looks like about 4-5 from SRFC the oaks (including 1 foxbat) coming down for the seminar. Thanks

I've heard the same too from road accident 'experts' that say that probably around 50% of those head trauma deaths (and injuries) could be prevented from wearing even bicycle type helmets in cars. But as you say; too hard to force so many voters to do so. Great thread BTW

I read somewhere, can't remember where, that German jet fighter pilots themselves rated the Tempest as their most dangerous foe-attributing this rating to the Tempest's low altitude speed, acceleration and firepower.
