I was also on the road to Sturgess once and thought those bikes were perfect for the dead straight, dead flat highway. They should be fitted with autopilot. -
Victoria country restrictions ease tomorrow night. But the new rules are nonsense, our local pub will not be reopening as they are allowed a maximum of ten patrons indoors, no way they can make it work.

Apparently if you have doped fabric, horses and cattle will chew on your control surfaces.

Checkmate or Wetcheck, same thing.

Its the one place in the world on my must see again list, the third time, one day when we can travel. -
Our headmaster at Wagga High was a very short man who stood on a block to cane people. He did it a lot and seemed to enjoy it. I got it once as a job lot with all the boys in my class.

When unsure of nearby traffic, there is a lot to be said for weaving about a bit and looking all around. The weaving makes you easier to see too. as long as you stay in the pattern. -
YMEL is Melton, a grass strip. Near me, but I have never landed there.

The right thing for people to do is obey a lockdown. It is in everyone's interest. But this time/next time a large minority will refuse to do it, they have had enough. Then the virus will be free in the community. Could happen within the next days or weeks.

It will result in a super backdown, people have had enough.

In the aero club bar…. ”I'm having trouble with yaws.” ”What’s yaws?” ”Oh, thanks. Mines a beer.” -

Also a popular name for a sheepdog. Named after Charles Gibson's Tweed, which won the sheepdog trials at Forbes in 1879. My family had several dogs named Tweed.

As a young pilot I couldn't afford to hire a Cherokee by myself. I had to find two or three friends to contribute to the cost, so I had to find a reason for the flight. Seeing the floods. Going to the lakes for a picnic. Etcetera. Ultralights, or more generally AUF then RAA planes, made flying affordable. I think FB has tongue in cheek.
