    Haha, that craps funnier than the original joke Bob. Instead of googling kooky socialist sites try actual figures from the bureau of stats... or ATO Minimisation (and we all do it) explained from 4:00 (Dunno who ASP are, no connection)

    I understand they were wrongly shut down by CASA but fortunately were able to recover substantial damages against CASA later. I say fortunate but we are paying for these stuff-ups, it would be so much better if they didn't act like some doofus totalitarian thugs from the start. Lycoming were shady too, they always admit to nothing & then quietly issue AD's shortly after.

    Well I understood the president has banned jokes about Nuns and Moncks.
  4. Gnarly Gnu
    Yeah well give us some of those real cheap Chinese engines then.

    A serious cloud formation:

    It was global warming for sure then.
  7. Gnarly Gnu
    Haha, you tried this right?
  8. Gnarly Gnu
    How would you handle that with Ra-aus.... register it twice with a photo from each side?

    Graham can I ask how many hours did the conversion to GA take? Or in general what would be typical hours?
  10. Gnarly Gnu
    SAAA come across as a bit licky towards CASA. BTW I like Michael Moncks piece in the latest Sport Pilot on CASA, well put.

    " [/url]A rarely seen video showing a different angle of the Hindenburg airship disaster in New Jersey has been released to the public for the first time in 77 years. The new film footage shows the 803-foot-long German airship erupt into flames from the side, rather than the nearly head-on view widely seen in newsreels." Click link for video. Hey tell us what you were doing when you heard about this disaster Guernsey....

    Well it was a demonstrator so the BRS folk will be pretty chuffed how well the demonstration worked out with some amateur video footage to boot. The Cirrus folk, maybe not so chipper about the situation. Great that no one was hurt.

    Beyond hahaha words fail me on this one, I'm just going to copy, cut 'n paste: The quest for a device that will allow humans to soar like birds has led to some strange contraptions over the years. But this one could outdo even the most bizarre designs – and you don’t even have to take off from the ground to use it. The Birdly machine lets you flap your way through the air... Now you can poop in your neighbours yard like a seagull.

    Fabulous! Surprised the pansy Brit govt allows it to fly with those replica guns, might scare somebody.

    Pretty amazing, video won't embed so worth following the link. Not sure if the insurance company will cover this.... maybe they will just replace the banner. Mike Papp from Northglenn, Colorado, said he saw a plane flying a Geico insurance banner...... then heard a “buzzing and then a loud boom” Monday afternoon. A single-engine plane had just crashed straight through the roof of a home in Papp’s neighborhood, but [/url]amazingly, given the wreckage, the pilot walked away with only minor injuries.

    " [/url]A relic from the Cold War appears to have triggered a software glitch at a major air traffic control center in California Wednesday that led to delays and cancellations of hundreds of flights across the country.... On Wednesday at about 2 p.m., according to sources, a U-2 spy plane, the same type of aircraft that flew high-altitude spy missions over Russia 50 years ago, passed through the airspace monitored by the L.A. Air Route Traffic Control Center in Palmdale, Calif. The L.A. Center handles landings and departures at the region’s major airports, including Los Angeles International (LAX), San Diego and Las Vegas. The computers at the L.A. Center are programmed to keep commercial airliners and other aircraft from colliding with each other. The U-2 was flying at 60,000 feet, but the computers were attempting to keep it from colliding with planes that were actually miles beneath it." Well like the SR-71 I don't think they can fairly call it a relic when they have nothing of comparable performance to replace it.

    Take a ride in an F-16 (needs fullscreen): [MEDIA=vimeo]93213093[/MEDIA] "Photographer Blair Bunting headed to Luke Air Force Base in Arizona and recorded stunning footage showing him accompany the U.S. Air Force for a ride in an F-16..... Now let me try my best to explain what 9 G’s feels like… Firstly, in no way is it comfortable, not even close. I began to feel my face melting away as the skin in my cheeks pulled down to my mouth,” Bunting described. “The color from my vision was the next thing to fade away, first the reds, then the greens. Squeezing like hell, I did everything I could to get air into my lungs as the G-suit wrenched it out."

    Diagnosis?

    Many (but not all) are getting 1000 hrs+ before top overhaul with the current Jab engines David, they have improved quite a lot I reckon.

    Hey that temporary tail chute is neat, haven't heard of that before.
  23. Gnarly Gnu
    Yeah, SAAA run them at Narromine, contact Mark Rowe there.
  24. Gnarly Gnu
    FEMAMA? Well men get breast cancer too, just not so frequently thankfully.
