  1. Folks, Need help. Ok, it may be WHERE I have the files, but I am stuck with a problem about listening to music. I have an 8 Gig card in the phone and a bit of music, sounds etc. Obviously some sounds are used for alerts, ring tones, etc. If/when I go walkies, I plug in the head phones and listen to music. It is annoying when the phone plays a ring tone or alert tone in the play list. I can't "remove" the sound from the play list without deleting it from the phone - or at least the way I have learnt to delete from the playlist. Can some one educate this little dog.
  2. A very similar story was circulated but it was supposedly from John Clease. (spelling?)
  3. Sorry, buy haven't read all the rest of the replies. Hang on..... When I was doing my BFR and was doing climbouts in a new plane I was shown the problem of taking the flaps up TOO SOON! So if he did take the flaps up they would have lost even more lift and so have climbed out even lower. Do you mean: I wonder if he took the flaps up too soon? Just asking.
  4. Q: Why does Tinkerbell fly around, around and around? . . . . . . . (yeah well keep reading below) . . . . . . . . . (I have to put some space here) A: She's from never never land.

  6. Ok dumb question: Where's the gallery? I'm still not both feet on the ground. And tomorrow I am off to Tumut for their fly in.
  7. OK, where do you want me to put my piccies?
  8. I'm just annoyed I can't join that gym called Fernwood.
  9. It is funny, but all the smilies throughout it make it difficult to read. And it is from America - obviously - could you change "mom" to mum?
  10. So shouldn't it be an "air Neu Zulnd" plane and not QANTAS?
  11. It was 06:00 and I just got in from LA. A bit of sleep but I wasn't paying too much attention. We landed on 07 at YSSY, so taxiing back to the international terminal we went past all the planes on the ground at the EAST end of the airport. I noticed a QANTAS plane - d'uh! - but noticed the rego: ZK - xxx Definitly NOT VH - xxx Ok, maybe it wasn't ZK, but it definitly wasn't VH. What gives? How? Why? Just asking.
  12. Ok, I've been on 4 weeks of "fun" and just got back. Did I send someone the picture or not? (I'm still jet lagged. Well, that's my excuse.)
  13. I like the shot of the back when the elevators are visible - while doing pre-flight checks - and the elveators are NOT sync'ed. One is horizontal and the other is dropped down. Hmmmm....
  14. I won't spoil it by saying what it is, but it really is good. http://www.youtube.com/embed/kPvciIdDZAE
  15. That's my bigger brother y'know. :)
  16. 7 Reasons Not To Mess With Children A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales. The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small. The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale. Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible. The little girl said, 'When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah'. The teacher asked, 'What if Jonah went to hell?' The little girl replied, 'Then you ask him'.. A Kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while they were drawing. She would occasionally walk around to see each child's work.. As she got to one little girl who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing was. The girl replied, 'I'm drawing God.' The teacher paused and said, 'But no one knows what God looks like.' Without missing a beat, or looking up from her drawing, the girl replied, 'They will in a minute.' A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her five and six year olds. After explaining the commandment to 'honor' thy Father and thy Mother, she asked, 'Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?' Without missing a beat one little boy (the oldest of a family) answered, 'Thou shall not kill.' One day a little girl was sitting and watching her mother do the dishes at the kitchen sink. She suddenly noticed that her mother had several strands of white hair sticking out in contrast on her brunette head. She looked at her mother and inquisitively asked, 'Why are some of your hairs white, Mum?' Her mother replied, 'Well, every time that you do something wrong and make me cry or unhappy, one of my hairs turns white.' The little girl thought about this revelation for a while and then said, 'Mummy, how come ALL of grandma's hairs are white?' The children had all been photographed, and the teacher was trying to persuade them each to buy a copy of the group picture. 'Just think how nice it will be to look at it when you are all grown up and say, 'There's Jennifer, she's a lawyer,' or 'That's Michael, He's a doctor..' A small voice at the back of the room rang out, 'And there's the teacher, she's dead.' A teacher was giving a lesson on the circulation of the blood. Trying to make the matter clearer, she said, 'Now, class, if I stood on my head, the blood, as you know, would run into it, and I would turn red in the face.' 'Yes,' the class said. 'Then why is it that while I am standing upright in the ordinary position the blood doesn't run into my feet?' A little fellow shouted, 'Cause your feet ain't empty.' The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic elementary school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples. The nun made a note, and posted on the apple tray: 'Take only ONE .. God is watching.' Moving further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table was a large pile of chocolate chip cookies. A child had written a note, 'Take all you want. God is watching the apples.'
  17. Steve, Thanks for confirming that. Though that maybe isn't the best word in this case. I guess though it does show people how small the world is. I haven't seen Gordon or Richard in about 30 years. (Probably more.) Again: All my best to the family.
  18. Don't know if it was the same kind of plane, but a couple of years back at Tumut a plane was flying and the door opened in flight. (Gull wing door) on the pilot side. Minor injury to pilot. All maps lost. Ripped the door clean off the plane.
  19. Ok, here is some "news": Dear Members, As most of you are aware long time AAC Member Phil Unicomb had and aeroplane accident at Baraba a few weeks ago. Since the accident Phil has been in Newcastle Private Hospital. He has undergone back surgery on one of three broken vertebra. The operation was successful and Phil is expected to make a full recovery. Sometimes it is not what you know but who you know with our good friend Rob Kuru being a back specialist in Newcastle. Phil has been walking with the help of a walking frame and has started fisio in the pool. To help Phil make a speedy recovery we are having a social event at the Royal Newcastle Aeroclub Social Club. This event will be held on the Saturday night 23rd July starting at approx 5pm. We will be auctioning a ride in the Grumman Avenger as well as a ride in the CAC Wirraway. There will be several other prizes on the night worthwhile. The entry will be $30 per person. To make it worthwhile travelling to Maitland to attend the function, Maxx G Aerobatics is holding an Aerobatics Training Weekend to take place at Royal Newcastle Aeroclub on the 23rd and 24th of July. Glenn Graham and Myself will be available for all levels of critique over the weekend. All are welcome to attend. We will be operating from the Action Aerobatics Hanger at RNAC. Hangerage will be available. BP fuel is available. Can you let me know by phone or email if you plan on attending. We look forward to catching up with you on the 23rd July. Kind Regards, Paul Bennet Maxx G Aerobatics Paul Bennet Airshows Sky Ace Airshows Mob 0425292391 www.maxxgaerobatics.com.au
  20. Sorry Neil, is it me or what....? I can hardly read that.
  21. With all the posts of who they were, I am now 99% sure I know Richard - or his family. I went to school with Gordon. His son or brother. I honestly have lost track of time. I also extend my sincerest condolences to the entire family and those who have suffered a loss.
  22. I shall check my pictures and post any I have.
  23. Ok, would this plane have been to Wedderburn - the last annual flyin? I may have some piccies, but don't want to submit them if they aren' of this actual plane. That just wouldn't be polite.
  24. P.S. Ok, (first link again) they landed. It is interesting that none of the traffic going the other way weren't slowing down and looking. I guess they are used to seeing a plane land on the highway.
  25. WRT the first one: Ok, they are "local pilots" and all that, but so much for English being the international language for aircraft and ATC.
