  4. My wife holds everything together...Including wallet
  5. My first TIF at bankstown was from an 18yo P plater - come from a family of pilots, dad, grandad etc Looking back, he was a very capable and thorough pilot - made me follow all the per flight check, topped up coolant and oil, check all things worked (took about 15mins) and then flew a very enjoyable victor 1 Nothing wrong with some of these young blokes
  6. Doesn't look like it to me - reflection off the water below
  7. How about this rainbow cloud on Facebook
  8. Congrats... Big day, but when your having a great time...
  9. Hi Chris There are a few younger chaps on here. Most of us are 40+ (I reckon).... Maybe there is a survey to verify this If you have the chance to start flying early - take it! Regards Mark
  10. Coanda effect is more accurate than Bernoulli theory - and is just newtons balance of forces The shape of the wing makes air deflect downwards. Air has weight and this change in direction creates a force in the opposite direction = lift
  11. On the weekend there was a skydiving woman who landed in a moving mustang (on purpose)... Crazy
  12. That is a brilliant video!! I'm gonna get a chook now
  13. It's a uplifting experience
  14. Slammed down the landing ... They can take a fair dumping by the looks
  15. Well, despite having a good camera (5D)... And having done a photography course... I still take very few good photos on the ground ... So I doubt they will be anything to rave about, let alone try to sell The trike with the camera mounts was modified and certified by airborne. The bungee cord arrangement would have worked well in a chopper I reckon
  16. I deleted the image - worried could be copyright...
  17. I want to try to get similar camera mounts for my trike! Should get some good shots then....
  18. No need to worry when sending your kids there ...
