    We prove how clever we are by getting our pilot licence, not by performing tricks.

    Sneak into his house with a syringe full of draino.

    Your avatar suggests you might be a bit nervous flying over water?

    Why not post a latitude and longitude plus aerodrome information etc. Now I have to get off my fat bum and find it.

    Yea, I remember that, my sister was disappointed you never took up her offer...

    A family friend discovering that my sister and I are twins seriously asked "Are you identical" then realised her dumb question. Yes, she is blonde and yes, she married a footballer. (By the way, I'm a bloke the last time I checked).

    Check out this website, to follow the solar powered aircraft. The server is often not available - could be getting too many connection requests. http://www.solarimpulse.com/widget-rtw_wrapup

    B in morse code is _... (three dits, not four). Any other mistakes? One second to spot because I use morse being a Ham Radio Nerd. (VK5KKS)

    Pathetic as it is I hate the way people use hanger instead of hangar. I will admit, I am a spelling/grammar nazi.

    Wow! Come along way in the last thirty years. I remember when you zoomed past the line with a magnifying glass. That took a lot of skill. Seriously though, what is it the equipment is actually looking for?

    On a commercial flight, in a small commuter turbo prop, I asked why such a crap landing and the pilot said "We ran out of aileron". There was a pretty strong wind blowing.

    Well paste my ears in jam and tie me to an ants nest, we mentioned the DC3 at McDonalds a few posts back and this turns up on the trashy news.com.au website... http://www.news.com.au/national/south-australia/mcdonalds-c-47-party-plane-at-west-lakes-being-restored-to-its-original-glory/story-fnii5yv4-1227237683501

    If it was Global Hawk, we probably landed it. They usually hand over the reins when the thing is in our airspace.
  14. Jabiru7252
    Turn it into a McDonalds like they did with a DC3 here in Adelaide many years ago.

    Well, I could make a comment here but I won't. Now, was that a comment, near comment or what. As for the air show, nice to know fellow aviators are still around to tell their story.

    Sound like ham radio nerds - we like our callsigns based on things like our names etc. KEV (For Kevin) was taken as was KPT (my initials). You could always go for BUM, POO, WEE etc. Good for a laugh.

    Well, if I were a cop and in the area, I'd go have a look because it would be something different from the usual junkies, dickheads and nutters.

    If he was on one-three, that runway leaves few options for a safe landing if the engine quits (as does zero-five).
  19. Jabiru7252
    Two events - one plane makes emergency landing after its rudder became jammed, then another plane crashes and burns at the end of the runway. Happy nobody has been seriously hurt.
  20. Jabiru7252
    What?
  21. Jabiru7252
    If this is another pilot choosing to fly in poor conditions, it's another nail in the coffin for recreational aviation.
  22. Jabiru7252
    Good grief!!! Not the sort of strip I'd be flying in and out of by choice.
  23. Jabiru7252
    I watched it and was disappointed, I used to know an old guy that was there when that happened. Trouble is, as he got older I got the same story over and over, but the first time around, all his war stories were great. He didn't like the yanks though, said they were up themselves and trouble makers.

    What did you do it in? Did you use just the compass or did you have a directional Gyro or GPS? Always exciting regardless.

    I wish my Jab J170 would slow down like a Foxbat!
