For the information of members and guests living in or travelling to Canberra: ACTION have just released their new network for the next two years. This includes services to Brindabella Business Park (Terminal side of the airport), Fairbairn Business Park (old RAAF Base side) and Brand Depot. Routes are the 10 and 28 which run all day and weekends, one to Woden Interchange and Civic Interchange. In the morning, Xpresso services run from Gungahlin and Tuggeranong. For those without a vehicle spotting at Canberra Airport, this will make it so much easier to spot at Canberra, especially in some of the hard to get to locations. Bus Maps and Frequency information can be found at http://www.action.act.gov.au/improvemen ... etwork.cfm Timetables will be out 2 weeks before the network introduction, the network will start on 2 June 2008.

Ahhhhhh, Mile High was good in its first season. That was about it, the second season sucked and never watched nor followed it after the 1st episode of season 2. The first thing I noticed was the Qantas Logos, and the 737-300/400 that was flying in the sky similar to a Qantas promo shot.

Good to see you joined up Remi. The people here are friendly, we don't have the membership as some boards do but it is only young and growing in number. Feel free to ask any questions, and we will try our best to answer it. Also take a look at the Photo Gallery, Fleet Lists etc which can all be found in the left hand meu pane. Once again, Welcome!

Boneyard I just saw an advert for it on The History Channel, I missed out on the night it was on but it looked as though it was a series.

viewtopic.php?p=16966#16966 Was this the aircraft? A Qatar Amiri Flight 747 which I believe is used for VIP Travel. Also, Qatar is pronounced Cut-ar I believe which is where you may have thought Ketar.

Qatar?

Victorville I believe is very much a chop shop, however the Mohave facility itself focuses on selling off the aircraft there. I thinkk EAA and EAB the two QF SP's went to Victorville, and take a guess of their fate!

Mohave Desert is where I have seen alot of commercial types and another place in the same desert, but those ones are normally cut up and do not survive unlike Mohave residents which are normally sold off.

Caught the last few minutes of it. From what I saw quite interesting. I loved the Blackbird they were showing at the end.

Moved this topic to General Chit Chat from the Golden Wing Club as tose forums will proabably disappear. http://mdn.mainichi.jp/national/news/20 ... 3000c.html

They have dragged out the show, however it has been accepted till 2009/2010 by ABC from memory so they kind of have to drag it out until the last seson where everything will hopefully be revealed. The dragging out add's to the effect the show has on people, it keeps people in suspense while also giving them little tid bits of information to piece together the overall plot of the show. This season has been affected by the writers strike, only 7 episodes have been scripted and now filmed. Hence this season will be either a split, or more likely a short season. It has also pushed back the start date of LOST in the US. I think it is next week, and seeing as though Prime/7 are only up to coming soon on their promos, it will probably be a month or two before we start it here. I will be downloading them if that is the case.

Thanks Robbo, would be great if you could get that pic for me! And a shame they do not have a return date for LOST, Prime had an ad on today with the same 'returning soon' junk on it!

Well the plane in LOST was actually, lost! It lost communication and position and was basically flying blind, the plane then broke up (unknown causes) and spread out over the island (On the water, on the beach and in the jungle). It is a mysterious island so technically those on board should not have survived the impact or maybe G forces involved (As the plane was falling oxygen would be getting more plentiful, so they probably would not have really passed out from starvation), however due to unknown properties and beings in the island they seemed to have survived! Do they say on 7 when LOST will return? As at the moment it is only 7-8 episodes that have been filmed, and hence will more than likely be a split or shortened season due to the WGA Writers strike. Have heard Feb for LOST in the US, wonder if we will be about 5 weeks behind again.

When I was on the bus passing Sydney Airport a few weeks back I spotted and Advert for Oceanic Airlines which is, for those who do not know, the airline which crashed in LOST. A Pretty clever and abstract piece of advertising from 7 and LOST, where it had 'Fly to L.A' and a model style picture of a hostess, their logo (From memory) and their website. In tiny writing at the bottom it had a disclaimer saying it was to do with the Seven Network show. Pretty clever way to get people roped into the show, especially when they think it may be an advert of a real airline. Anyone travelling past able to get a photo for me? I did not get a chance, which sucks, but the billboard is found just as you turn out from the Domestic Terminals next to the Metro Goods Railway Line bridge.

Saw this in The Daily Telegraph today, thought I would post it here. Would be good to see, but atleast it passes every 13.5 years, so if you miss it now most people will see it next time. Source - http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/s ... 21,00.html

In the Daily Mainichi today, this was the most viewed Article and hella funny. Getting better than an article the other day about a drug which can give a man up to 43 (I could be wrong it was in the 40's) hours of hard relief (You take a guess at what that is).

This has actually been out for a while, introduced when I was with Virgin Mobile (Up until Oct 2006). Its a clever little call function, to get you out of that annoying situation.

Toddles was there and got some photos from T2, not very good due to glare but hell its a photo!
