flying dog

Well, I stand corected by people who weren't there telling me what I did see. (I do'nt need thhis crap!) No more comments by me on the subject.

arielle, I thought it was a Jab and the .... Trojan. Someone said it was a Piper (or what ever) ((CRAFT disease is getting worse! Can't remember 1 minute ago)) But what ever. It was an RAA plane though I am 99% sure.

Yeah, well that is the SIMPLE story. The "long" version: The Trojan was backtracking..... Had landed and turned around. Duh. This was taking TIME. In the mean time: The jab turned base/final and came in all the time with the Trojan on the runway. It isn't that it suddenly appeared out of nowhere. On the go-around, no radio call - so I am told - and no shift to the right to clear the runway. They didn't throw the book at him, but did have words with him.

I liked the RAA plane who tried to do a landing when the Trojan was back tracking. Did a go-round at 50 feet. After he landed, CASA walked over to talk to him. As much as yoyu are right KG, the important thing is no one hit anyone else.

I helped him with initial assembly. Getting the wings our of the trailer, etc. But I was out of there by 10:30. A 9 hour drive was not someting I was looking forward to.

Well: It was a good turn up. Alas the weather made it a bit scarse for people but there was a lot of people there. Lovely days on the days, but Friday was a bit overcast and why so many didn't turn up.

JG3, Yeah, sorry dude. Spoke too soon. I was once lectured by a "dork" who was having a go at me at one of the "New Year's flights" in which I was participating.

Ok, oops. Spoke too soon.

Folks, Sorry if this is a "double post" but I can't see any reference to the 2014 event here. http://www.greateasternflyin.com/ January 10 - Jan 12. See you there! Zip code? Huh?

Ok, I'll bite: If you are RAA, how are you supposed to get a photo of SUNRISE?

Marty_d I think has it! Santa operates outside time/space! Oh no! I wonder if, somewhere in the sleigh, is a blue police box hidden? Maybe "The DOCTOR" is in cahoots with Santa and helps him??!! Wouldn't that make a good episode for one of the Christmas specials? Though I guess it sort of has been done already.

"You are going in the wrong direction".

French airliner:

Well, kinda. Look at how many times they tried before actually landing. Sure "dangerous" but they did a few "trails" first - or where they "Missed approaches"? I was surprised how low he was going in though. Me: I would have gone in higher. But that's me. WRT the takeoff. I wonder why they were holding him back so hard? The plane would have breaks, and watching how fast it got off the deck, it wasn't that critical to get off the deck. Someone said the boat/ship would be doing 22 knots..... I'm just wondering: Really? 22 kts is pretty fast from what I know.

Bill, I heard it on the news. I am mearly repeating it. Obviously it was a quite day if they were reporting old news. But if Miranda is looking for a new boyfriend, well: "I'm free". (no intended reference to Mr Humpries of Are you being served fame intended.)

Oh just on Nev's post, you reminded me of a joke: http://www.recreationalflying.com/threads/whats-the-difference-between-a-fox-and-a-dog.108652/

Q: What's the difference between a Fox and a Dog? (Two options) A1: About 30 years. A2: You go to bed with a Fox and wake up with a Dog.

facthunter, There are SO MANY places I could go with that, but won't. ;-)

rgmwa, But she is definitly eye candy huh?

Simply sharing information.

(Yeah, maybe should be in the "funnies" section, but I am Serious!) Mirand Kerr has broken up with her boyfriend. So she is "available" again.

Thursday night I gradually woke up stiff as a plank in hospital's ICU, tubes up my nose & down my throat, wires monitoring every function & all around my head, hell of a pain over my left ear, and a gorgeous nurse hovering over me. It was obvious I'd been in a serious accident. She looked deep & steady and I heard her slowly say, 'You may not feel anything from the waist down.' I managed to mumble in reply, 'Can I feel your tits, then?'

I recently spent $6,500 on a young registered Black Angus bull. I put him out with the herd but he just ate grass and wouldn't even look at a cow. I was beginning to think I had paid more for that bull than he was worth. Anyhow, I had the vet come and have a look at him. He said the bull was very healthy, but possibly just a little young, so he gave me some pills to feed him once per day. The bull started to service the cows within two days, all my cows! He even broke through the fence and bred with all of my neighbor's cows! He's like a machine! I don't know what was in the pills the Vet gave him ............ but they kind of taste like peppermint.

Paddy and Mick are two Irishmen working at the local sawmill. One day, Mick slips and his arm gets caught and severed by the big bench saw. Paddy quickly puts the limb in a plastic bag and rushes it and Mick to the local hospital. Next day, Paddy goes to the hospital and asks after Mick. The nurse says, "Oh he's out in Rehab exercising". Paddy couldn't believe it, but there's Mick out the back exercising his now re-attached arm. The very next day he's back at work in the saw mill. A couple of days go by, and then Mick slips and severs his leg on another huge saw. So Paddy puts the limb in a plastic bag and rushes it and Mick off to hospital. Next day he calls in to see him and asks the nurse how he is. The nurse replies, "He's out in Rehab again exercising". And sure enough, there's Mick out there doing some serious work on the treadmill. And very soon Mick comes back to work. But, as usual, within a couple of days he has another accident and severs his head. Wearily Paddy puts the head in a plastic bag and transports it and Mick to hospital. Next day he goes in and asks the nurse how Mick is. The nurse breaks down and cries and says, "He's dead." Paddy is shocked, but not surprised. "I suppose the saw finally did him in." "No", says the nurse, "Some dopey bastard put his head in a plastic bag and he suffocated.

Ok, not wanting to spread "stories" but here is one I heard when I was learning to fly: (repeated as best I can remember) Up near Maroochie: A school has their planes flying. There is a LARGE training area just east of the Glass house mountains. A student was up and flying. The air force had a plane (F18 - maybe) flying around there too. Ok, maybe not. But it was a FAST plane and flying LOW! It scared the $hit out of the student - flying solo. Getting back to the airport, the CFI was informed. He rang the people to find out what was going on. Air force: "Why didn't you have a transponder?" CFI "the plane doesn't need one, it is not in CTA. It is flying in the TRAINING area." Air force: "So why is that our problem?" CFI "It isn't, unless you hit our plane, then it would be TOTALLY your problem." The call suddenly ended.
