This is beginning to rival Ripleys Believe it or not. A thread about a "crash" by a GA aircraft in an RA Forum; a forced landing on a beach; a photo of the tide coming in showing water around the wheels; reasons the aircraft is now stuffed etc; how your car can be rusted out too. The Cherokee Six is an ideal Country/Outback Aircraft. Around 2012 I saw one stripped down for a complete corrosion inspection/replacement. The guy had bought the aircraft with high level radio equipment for $15,000 and the corrosion replacement cost him $16,000 at a tiome people were buying Jabs for about $60,000. I'd suggest the owner will work it all out without our help.

Sounds about right. 4g offsets this with more towers. Cross country aircraft have HF for outback operation.

Casuarina Beach, NT Tides: 11:15 am 1.34 metres 5: 28 pm: 6.62 metres = 5.28 metres higher On "very flat" ground a 5.28 metre difference = a considerable distance of retreat at low tide and some time before 11:15 to make a forced landing and some time after 11:15 to get out of there before the groundwater turned the sand to quicksand and the water submerged to whole aircraft. We know the aircraft wasn't submerged. Anyone needing to know if it's going to fall apart from corrosion just needs to find out the landing and take off times and do the maths.

Probably a druggie sending a message to his wife's boyfriend?

You'd hope they would wash the maps with a topograpical map based on the towers, but a lot of people tell lies these days.

It may have landed to dry sands and taken off on dry sands depending on the tides in that location.

We did address that related to the 3/4/5G map showing remote parts of NSW, SA, NT above and the very few 3G towers left to replace there to match all existing areas on the map. Note that there is more area there that has no 3/4/5G coverage and they use different methods of communication. If you want to satisfy yourself, you can get similar coverage maps for the whole of Australia.

There you are, a design genius!

For people on a flying forum, I'm surprised anyone is still on 3G. I bought a 4g Mobile phone for bore camera and engine work and it cost me a whole $45.00, and you can get an unlimited data plan to access the net from Optus for about $90 per month.

That's if you're comparing it with a bubble canopy. Plenty available with a roof, plenty with air conditioning and cross country instruments.

Skippy's got current experience with that.

Good spot, but there are Jayco companies in Canada, the US, and Australia. I'm currently studying the specifications for a power demand module. The specifications vary slightly but the advertising's great.

Thanks, you made my point beautifully.

For those doing cross country flying, I'd recommend cooling down and waiting for the PPL Module where you'll be taught sequence by sequence to do it correctly rather than the picking and plucking we've been reading among which, if I remember correctly was a great way to have two lots of aircaft flying the circuit at different heights. In the P&O module you'll get exercises in the step by step calculations that come together to become your flight plan (and yes I know that's not the formal flight plan we used to submit to DCA, CAA etc), and most impirtantly you'll be fluent enough to replan in the air for safe transit and landing at an alternate field if the weather ahead of you closes in. etc.

The secret is, like Australia, doing the work of researching the market. I'll admit it can be a long haul, but you'll be able to find suppliers who sell below full retain and don't mess around with price and quality. Those are gold.

What’s wrong with buying from the US when they have high volume fresh stock, lower pricing, faster delivery.

......he'd forgotten his start checks and needed to activate the magnetos which, without thinking, he now did. While SYB can be your friend, it can also be your worst nightmare, and now there was a belch of smoke and an explosion rivalling Krakatoa. The Bushcaddy jumped off the ground and a wheel came down on Cappy's left toe pinning him behind the exhaust pipes from which was emerging a Wall of Flame; the engine caught and fanned the flames. Cappy's classic WW2 sunglasses saved his eyes, but would never look smart again and his WW2 flying suit was emitting enough carbon the attract the EPA. Luckily he'd though to lock the brakes on, but ........................

The Cherokee Six has fixed undercarriage built like a tank, I've been in one that made a routine landing in scrub out the back of Broken Hill, knocking down small saplings and with an emu trying to outpace us. The mud would just be like an arrestor cable. Could have been finger trouble on the selector also.

NRLs are switchable 3G/4G/5G, ethernet, LoRan, Inmarsat. At Wilcannia 3 am this morning the Darling water level was 1.19m and flow rate 1025 ml/day At Binnowie, Ward River, Warrego Basin in Central Queensland at 3 am this morning the water level is 1.903 m. flow 1,936 Ml/day. We can compare them after 3 G ceases and see what happens.

That's not a terribly persuasive argument; not a lot of towers required for a much better service.

Is anyone on 3G these days?

He would join anyone. Who could forget him that year when it rained and we were all covered in mud, and the chicks had mudsliding contests. There he was covered in mud along with Peter, Paul and Mary, his guitar strings dripping with mud, singing Mary's part in the iconic "Blow'n in the Wind" because Mary had stripped off and run over to the mudslide. Most of the crowd missed it because they were at the mudslide, but Turbo taped it and you can hear Wuntey abd the boys in what many people say was the best version, on Spotify today. When the time came to fold up the seat on the Bushcaddy it was always hard to start and sometimes it took.............................

....also known at the songfests as Wuntey. Wuntey was a folk singer and usually seen with Peter, Paul and Mary, a trio from Gummedah. He would fly in to the songfests in his Bushcaddy, put the seat down, make up his bed and start singing folk songs until people told him to shut up. He ...........

This was the real thing; Turbo was holding up the sword Excalibur! (c) Turbo had polished [oops] it many times and it glowed in the firelight like fire itself. Here was a real warrior and they knew it (not like Cappy with his cheap plastic Chinese imitation). Turbo bristled and Excalibur bristled with him, and the crowd bowed down as one. Just then they heard the sound of..........................
