  4. Bit of History that most aren't aware of ............. The worst aviation disaster involving Australians occurred in New Guinea during WWII when a B-24 Liberator crashed killing the crew of eleven men and sixty soldiers of the 2/33rd Battalion and two drivers from the 158th General Transport Company. An additional 90 men suffered horrendous burns in this tragic incident. http://www.liberatorcrash.com/
  5. If your planning to fly in that part of the country apart from the VHF and PLB a sat phone should be in the bag.
  6. No outfield opportunities here, Cockpit terrain alarms. https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=888415331267086
  7. Not having flown in the area but did visit Katoomba and the Three Sisters in my youth and its all tiger country.
  8. My Uncle was shot down by a FW190 on 7/6/44 (D Day +1) over France. He said he flew his Mustang out of cloud and got nailed. The resistance looked after him until the Allies Advance. You don't hear much of them its always the ME109's, Bit like the Spitfires got all the glory but the Hurricanes did most of the work.
  9. Hope the Runway is longer than Canberra, different Plane but ...........
  10. Had this one come down the street on ANZAC Day. Interesting the blue haze under it, there is no water at that location. We are just south of Caboolture and Controlled Airspace is above 3500'
  11. Its a screaming 2 stroke but you can still hear the comms and revs. I hadn't listened to dragon for a long time ( since Cairns Showgrounds in the late 70's ). Was a pity Mmark Hunter went the way he did, Cancer somewhere in the throat I think. If you guys like my scrawny legs you have a problem. :)
  12. Hi Craig and welcome. Enter Folding Wings in the search tab on the left, have been a few recent discussions.
  13. A couple more, one Thinking of Asian Food for mains and the other compared to a Cruiser
  14. I wonder if this is covered in the Ops Manual
  15. Hi. Yeah Contour camera on helmet. Aero/hummer shots always have legs :)
  16. Going around in circles like that, i'd fall over and the plane would end up in the bush or someone's head.
  17. I'm still working on "The Morning Glory" at home
