  1. years ago i was working nightshift on a drill rig at leonora in wa. i heard someone say on the uhf that a sons of gwalia mine flight flew straight past leonora. my father was in the perth bound plane which was waiting at the threshhold for the kingair arrival which never happened. next morning we got a message saying it had crashed in queensland. all onboard were unconscious , believed to be a pressurisation problem
  2. After a serviceable prop for a jab 1600 if anyone has one they would like to sell.
  3. a bit off topic but why do the dreamliners use electric powered ac and pressurisation. wouldn't the conventional bleed air be much simpler and more reliable.
  4. never kissed a kangaroo before
  5. you keep things interesting skip.
  6. We are following all recommendations. Carry printouts of our itinerary. Carry my prescription with my tablets. Accommodation is all booked so they can see that too. Only going to Vegas then drive up to Reno and down the coast from sf to la then home. Only going 14 days. Neither of us have ever left Aus except for Rottnest island.
  7. Is that like when you sent me a DM advising me not to offer McKay heater hose to people then a couple of months later you were saying McKay hose was good quality
  8. Plenty of Aussies still going there without a drama. You can't go by what's on the net.
  9. Where did you do your mechanical apprenticeship.
  10. What debate. I put up the facts I got from the experts. You put up crap from the voices in your head.🤣
  11. been using antisieze on caliper pins for 40 years and i have never seen it leak onto the pads.
  12. remember mh370. they said the black box put out a location signal for 3 days and the searchers were going as fast as possible hoping to find it before the battery went flat. but like you say , the battery would not be of much help if there is nothing to record.
  13. Skippy is just trolling for a new debate because I dropped out of the last one.
  14. Middle aged white couple. No problems . No anti America posts on Facebook. No criminal records. Should be no drama. Bought the tickets before all the trouble started and I ain't wasting them even if I do get jailed and sent home . If I get a cavity search they will say isn't his brain meant to be in his head. No he drives trucks.😁
  15. we are flying to america on delta. they don't even make that list.
  16. Cracking the bleed screw will eliminate everything apart from the caliper . If brakes are still dragging then u know it's a caliper problem. It will be a simple fix. Pretty basic brake setup.
  17. they are just pointing out a bad week in aviation in that part of the world.
  18. Systemic overload: A crisis-filled weekend in Indian skies the Indian aviation sector endured a barrage of operational crises following the Air India crash. Within just 36 hours, four separate in-flight emergencies were reported, raising widespread concerns about preparedness and safety culture. On June 16, an Air India Express flight to Ranchi returned to Delhi after technical issues were detected shortly after takeoff. That same day, an Air India flight from Hong Kong to Delhi had to turn back due to a suspected technical snag. Air India later confirmed the Boeing 787 aircraft landed safely and was being inspected as a precaution. In yet another episode, a Lufthansa flight enroute to Hyderabad from Frankfurt turned back after a bomb threat was received mid-air. Passengers were safely screened upon return and investigations are underway. Meanwhile, a British F-35 fighter jet made an emergency landing in Kerala due to low fuel—prompting full emergency protocols at Thiruvananthapuram Airport. Although none of these incidents resulted in injuries, the sheer number and timing have amplified public anxiety and tested the resilience of operational frameworks
  19. condolences to anyone in the group who may have known the pilot.
  20. An investigation into the circumstances surrounding the crash has been launched by the Sports Aviation Federation of Australia.
  21. must have been a powered parachute. it says safa are investigating.
