    Dan Horton's nice little tribute to Bob Hoover: [MEDIA=vimeo]189574781[/MEDIA] rgmwa

    According to CAAP 166-1(3), the standard broadcast format for low and medium performance aircraft is "wherever traffic", not "traffic wherever". The final phrase of the broadcast is just "wherever". rgmwa

    Any idea when it will be finished Marty? rgmwa

    He's right! For those who haven't come across him before, Vlad and his RV-9a are serious travellers: Journey Of A Lifetime (long) - VAF Forums Welcome to Australia, Vlad rgmwa

    For you aircraft designers out there. If you're an EAA member, you can download a free version of SolidWorks: SOLIDWORKS Student Design Kit - EAA Maker Edition | EAA rgmwa

    He's surprisingly calm given what happened. I would have been too stunned to say anything let alone discuss who did what and when. rgmwa

    That's something that I'm sure puzzles everyone. It's hard to imagine he spent the time wandering around an aircraft filled with dead passengers and crew, or simply sat there looking out the window waiting for the fuel to run out. The whole thing is bizarre. Even if they find the aircraft and the black boxes, while they might discover what happened, it still wouldn't explain why it happened. rgmwa

    Well, any landing you can climb down from is a good landing! rgmwa

    Ian, I changed my vote from Clear Prop (which I rather like the sound of) to Aircraft Pilots (which I'm not that keen on) for the practical reasons you outlined. You should go with the name that makes the most business sense. rgmwa

    Plenty of odd birds here. More like a menagerie really. rgmwa

    Correct. It used to have a pair of Limbach motors, until the two owners decided to go for something a bit different. Very short endurance, makes a lot of noise but flies well. Not something you see every day. rgmwa

    I don't have any names but these is quite a bit of flying activity down that way (airpark). Maybe take a trip out to the airfield at the weekend and have a talk to the locals. rgmwa

    Plenty of room for a production line there, Bex. rgmwa

    Hey Bex, just the thing for that plane. Rivets are so last century! rgmwa

    Bex, I think he was talking about the plane. rgmwa

    Apparently SAP stands for `Suffering And Pain'. Luckily, I wasn't one of those at work who had to use it every day. rgmwa

    I don't pretend to understand the aerodynamics, but it looked to me to be flying `tail-heavy' and sluggish in the climb. A tragedy for all concerned. rgmwa

    Sorry OME. I agree that most TV documentaries cover much the same ground. On the other hand, for those who are particularly interested in details, there are a lot of original instructional videos available on uTube that show you how the controls work and how to fly the plane. Kermit Weeks has also made quite a few walk-around and cockpit view videos on various aircraft that are well worth having a look at. rgmwa

    Airplane or aeroplane? Seems like we are gradually adopting the US pronunciation more and more. The newspapers seem to use `airplane' these days, and even the ABC newsreader was talking about`airplanes' recently. rgmwa

    An RV-12 should tick most of the raffle boxes. rgmwa

    Trump comes across as crass, unpredictable and erratic with more than a hint of megalomania, but he obviously appeals to a lot of Americans who like his simple `just leave it all to me folks, I'll fix everything' message. His ego may be in for a rude shock if he ever gets elected and actually has to start dealing with real-world problems. With no previous political experience, that experiment is not likely to be good for America or the rest of the world. When Putin was asked what he thought of Trump, he said "he's a very intelligent man isn't he?' but he couldn't wipe the sly grin off his face. rgmwa

    Cheque's in the mail Bex! Don't worry about the tow rope. He wasn't much of a mate anyway. rgmwa

    No wonder he cropped it. rgmwa

    You might like this recently published book then: The Man Who Saved Smithy - Rick Searle - 9781760113407 - Allen & Unwin - Australia. Probably available on Amazon, and well worth reading. rgmwa
