Ben is still CEO, good magazine looking very professional.

floor. Sometimes the bombs hit the floor which wasn't much fun. The A7 engine had been chosen because it only had two crank bearings which made it very flexible. It was Turbo's great grandfather Harry Turbine, who did the head and exhaust extractors and designed the engines mounts and fitted the Sceet and Sh!t. The finished aircraft was designated B1 by Harry's Factory which he built in France because when the B1s were built it look longer to get them going and fix up all the Sceet breakages and stuff The B1 was the world's first stealth bomber [this is still Classified information, so NES readers are asked to keep it quiet]. By the time it had climbed to altitude the A7 engine has either snapped the crank or seized, so the attack was done in silence and the German troops would be quaffing their rum, eating roast beef and telling funny stories when "THUD" there was an Australian bomb right beside them in the trench. History has told the story of valiant pilots in WW2 nursing dead aircraft home across the English Channel, but no one's allowed to talk of the B1 boys who struggled to get their lifeless kites across the Somme. Harry went on to build the B2, B3, B4, B4 MKII, and so on. It was the Wing of B9's on the morning of D Day that caused Hitler to say "SHEIZEN!, WE ARE XXXXXX!!!!!" and order his tanks to stay well back out of the range where the Germanns knew the engines would start seizing. NES readers will know that "authentic" accounts of D Day all mention Hitler unbelievably halting his Panzers behind the French coast, but this was the classified reason. Harry Turbine built many more B bombers for the British and Americans including the B29 which had Cadillac-Turbine engines. The B29 could fly on two engines which was proven time and time again when 1 or 2 would always seize on the mission. After the war the old B1s were brought home to England where people bought them, stripped the armour plate out and called them "Microlights". This was the beginning of .......

.......cook breakfast for a husband. He was captured by the Boers, and they called him "Piggy iggy" so he escaped and got into the next country where he gave the Boers the finger and went back to England to pick on the Australians, but...............

In the big mix some people are good, some people are corrupt, some people play politics, and some people sit there scratchimg their bums and let it happen. In this case the story so far hasn't got any traction, probably because people checked the facts and took out GA Aircraft, Paragliders, Crop Dusters etc. from the emotional claim and saw that just 6 people had died in RA. In this case it appears the media may have released what was given to them by the interviewees. If that's the case it would be of concern to all RAA members. If the 6 is correct and the 9000 paying members are correct, that's a fatality rate of 6 per 9,000 thousand for the 12 months, and I would think some of the other sections of the Industry might require more urgent action than RAA, but that's another story requiring all the figures to be pulled together in 12 month Jan-Dec blocks. Certainly if you move to PPL standard flying you need PPL standard training, but you can't afford to lose grass-roots training or you'll have no grass roots. Arguing that one section is safer than another requires the collection of a lot of data; no point in any one person making judgements based on what they alone have seen. There would be no point in having one specialist journalist because aviation is a huge industry spread all over Australia, and reporting usually starts with a phone call from one of the services that "there's an aircraft crash out at the eight mile etc." so the journalist needs to get there, a photographer needs to get there, and the journalist asks questions then writes the story. If the journalist asks what brand of aircraft it is and the local firey says "Cessna" that's what's in the story. Investigative journalists, usually employed only in the Capital Cities will research the Industry they are investigating, seek out specialists, find data on processes, and track a corrupt person etc. Parachute results fit into the Aircraft Specification research, and if that's done correctly there will be an answer one way or the other.

.......ee. Keir of course was a jogging mate of Turbo hen they went to school at entorth. Turbo had often ondered ho "Special K" was getting on because he as certainly slo in the English classes. Australia has become the political Latte set of British Prime Ministers with Boris teaching Latin and crapping on (not you Cappy) about hen he as going to in an election and become PM. Not many people know that inston Churchill himself trained with the Australian Army at est Puckapunyal en it only had a fe bomb craters and ..........

Embarrassed that he may finally have made a mistake, Turbo went back to the original map and found it should have read "kitty sand" This map shows many new features Australians didn't know about, the author: skye bull, 2025.

Worse than the journalists!

Should have read not a lot of the I

Its a good sign when a journalist corrects things as new information comes in.

.....victim; a poor traveller just trying to do the right thing by his customers who are the most ............. Hi, I'm Samanth. How may I help?

It's interesting that the chatbots seem to be set up by the Company's Ad Agency and the AI runs out of gas when the advertising material plus a few more sentences run out; we can get the A, but a lot of the I.

.......AirOar. Boaties used to wave their oars in the air laughing when they saw Orville T standing on the said waiting for that sea breeze to subside. The breakthough came when Orville T was talking to a fellow student Mathisa Einsten who got interested, cracked the numbers and said, "If you got 150 oars in a row and moved them forward the thrust would be greater than....... but youg OneShaft broke in with "you could tie them onto the spokes of wagon wheels. The others all chuckled but Orville spent a few nights over his parchments by the light of a bullock-fat candle re-did Einstein's calcs and set up an axle with four oars, ran a fitted a flat pulley in the centre and ran a belt down to a Steam engine powered by distilled gin. He built a dreaw bar behind the engine and hooked up an onld baby's pram from where he could reach the steam engine's knobs and levers. He knew he had something when he started passing horses and carriages down the main street. He knew there were a few "issues" to sort out when he ran off the bridge on the curve at the end of the street. But there was no doubt that a new era of the AirOar had started and ........

Did you get an answer from the ABC journalist?

........wing, which he had developed over a period of 17 years. He started with the original Drifter wing which, as everyone knows...............

Your aircraft according to your detractors.

Just ran Soar; in the area of southern Australia I looked at they were running Google Earth 2025 maps, so not razor sharp images like Near Map - they fudge them to avoid perverts etc. I got onto a live satellite feed at one stage; blurry down low but you were seeing actual current activity. Some people reported on FB their dog had run away from their remote beach camping site, they were leaving that day for Victoria and would have to abandon the dog. I looked along the beach, found their Landcruiser and campsite and told them if they drove half a km north there was a track off the beach, go half Km, turn right, go half km and there was a farm. Ask at farm. An hour later they posted that they's found their dog at the farm. Tried to use it a year later, had forgotten the site address.

Nearmap aerial mapping has been available for years, annual subscription approx $1800.00

The ABC journalist should have sourced the statistics on hobby flying and would have come to the RAA site, and smelled a rat. On the other hand, maybe he thought he was doing that when he spoke to its president, or maybe the 27 figure wasn't mentioned during the interview. The key thing is the story was to damage Recreational Aviation flying, and it was industry people doing the damage.

.......grab when a shark saw the enormous body in the water (head out of the water of course), concluded it was a female shark and started to mate. The Drifter, its silk wings groaning lifted out of the water, Turbo screamed, Xi's eyes bulged and the shark, a young one, thought WTF. Xi was in the most comfortable position as they climbed through 50 feet, and started to laugh. When he opened his mouth .............

............ylon seat with the breathing hole in it through which, as Cappy correctly surmised.................

Interesting.

.....midriff dropped the hook right on the belt. Xi was away like a Taiwanese who'd booked the wrong flight destination. Just then the bluehead ran out of Start Ya Bastard, and Turbo's predicament, with the rope firmly under Xi's belt was very similar to a story an old boundary rider told Turbo at their campfire a few years ago out on the boundary of Old Mundowdna Station. They'd talked for hours, exhausted all the usual stories and finally the old rider said "I was camped up the track one night and needed a crap. I the dark I squatted down on a dingo trap an it grabbed me nuts" "That must have hurt" replied Turbo sympathetically. "Yes, it was the two most painfull experiences of my life" the rider said. Turbo was confused "How could it be two lots of pain?" asked Turbo The old rider poked the coals and said Once when the trap went off, and again when I ran out of chain!" Now as he looked over the side of the Thruster with nothing on the Tacho, a rope stretched out behind him, and Shark Strait below ...............

It's hard to know what was on his mind with that low and slow comment. Maybe he had been blindsided by the ABC journalist commenting on the subject matter then immediately asking for a reaction; that's the worst position to be in when there's a news story. Better to be the one doing the initial part of the story. I can see the possibility of ATSB handling a collision in a CTA circuit because of the complexity of key radio calls, correct circuit position, correct approach, correct choice of runway, failure to hold, wrong runway (on dual runways) etc, but even than doesn't take too long for a Recreational Aviation investigator to learn. If you look at the exhaustive procedure ATSB uses, even if they had a graded policy for top of the range RA with electronics down to a trike there just has to be big blowout in costs for not much return. On the other had it was RAA which submitted a list of engine failures one of which was a flat tyre, so maybe RAA has some work to do which would satisfy the complainants. It would be interesting to see if the trike guys out at Marian even know about this and what their thoughts are.

.....make more and more posts. It doesn't matter what's in them; every little bit helps, because Turbo donates a substantial amount of money maintaining the airstrip in the Spratleys, the upkeep on what is now the "Lodge" a five story building; one floor for Turbo, one for Chairman Xi, one for Cappy, one for the girls and one for Cappy's gin distillery. BTW Cappy has taken to wearing slippers and smoking a pipe while at the Spratley's Lodge. One sunny day, Cappy decided he'd Teach Chairman Xi to water ski behind the Lodge Thruster. It was failrly straightforward; the rider would float in the shallow water off the end of the runway. The tow rope would stream back to where the Drifter was moved up for take off. The Drifter would take off and Chairman Xi would be able to water ski in Shark Strait. On the first morning the bluehead wouldn't start .............
