Unless I'm mistaken - that's a 160 in the photo. No - I'm just going blind (Sigh) or am I? regards

Discussing your lesson on line is not much different than doing it at the clubrooms. :thumb_up: The advantage here is a much bigger audience (with a lot of experience) and you can review what they/we said. ;) Your blog should be an inspiration to other members who are yet to have their first lesson. It's a huge task and I congratulate you on a very good start, :thumb_up: do keep it going, it is the essence of these forums. We are all different, some of us are so laid back we are nearly horizontal, while others up front, upright and ready to blast off. But we all share the passion, otherwise we wouldn't be here. Your job is to sort the wheat from the chaff. Looking forward to your next lesson. :thumb_up: regards :big_grin::big_grin:

G'Day Pete. Welcome to the forums. Just had the DC3 (VH-EAF) visit here in Echuca. :thumb_up: Nice old bus :heart: - I think I've flown in her a few years ago now (Adelaide to Woomera 1978 I think, but not sure). regards :big_grin::big_grin:

Hey Mark - the last I heard was the battery was faulty and sent back. So - the new one was no better (Please reply non cryptic and at least six words in the sentence) :big_grin::big_grin: regards :big_grin::big_grin:

Geez - It's a Sopwith Pup :thumb_up: - must be flying a bit slow these days. :yuk: (92 human years - 644 dog years ) regards :big_grin::big_grin:

No wuckers Mark (and Adrian) :) Here's what to do. Go to: www.airshow.net.au/avalon2009/flying-in/register.asp You will fit the category of: "a visitor using an aircraft subject to Civil Aviation Order 95.55" you fill in the details and they will email you with a user name and password so you can complete the registration process. What you get is: 1. Free tickets for you and 3 crew members for Fri, Sat & Sun. :thumb_up: 2. Free camping for 4 people at the Lara Sports Ground. :thumb_up: 3. Free Shuttle bus to and from the camping area. (runs about every hour) :thumb_up: What they get - your aircraft on static display. :heart: You must be there for the 3 days to get the freebies. Plan to arrive Thursday. You can leave late Sunday, (most do) but better to fly out early Monday. The shuttle bus still operates from Lara. They set up a grass strip which they still call Avalon Main 18R/36L. Its to the west of the sealed runway (which is 18L/36R). You must have clearance to arrive and land at this trip (covered in an AIRSUP). Avalon East is available - you just arrive (Day VFR). :big_grin: (but no freebies - good for a day visit) Will post more info as needed. regards :big_grin::big_grin:

It thinks its raining out side but I'm not convinced. Yet. :confused: Next time that plane goes over put on a metal food strainer from the kitchen (stops the radio waves cooking the brain). regards :big_grin::big_grin:

I Know Geoff, I know. Next time, (sigh). regards :big_grin::big_grin:

Geez Paley - maybe they were looking for YOU. hehehe. :big_grin::big_grin::big_grin: regards :big_grin::big_grin:

Good one Doc :thumb_up: - keep pulling it right back (the stick) as the aircraft slows, as far as it will go and keep it there (until the nose comes down by itself). regards :big_grin::big_grin:

Awesome shots, Tomo. :thumb_up: Great story too. What camera are you using (Not happy with mine, too old I think) :yuk: (no, the camera, not me.:confused:) regards :big_grin::big_grin:

Shell Aviation to withdraw Avgas from some regionals
BigPete replied to johnprop's topic in AUS/NZ General Discussion
I guess if we had PULP available at the airfield and it was certified Ethanol Free, then most could keep flying without the AVGAS. :thumb_up: regards :big_grin: -
The things you see if you get up early -ish on a Sunday. :thumb_up: :big_grin::big_grin: regards

I thought 3 free copies of Australian Flying was a great little prize. :thumb_up: How about the best trip report (by pilot or passenger) :big_grin: or even a good story (my day at the airport, etc etc). regards :big_grin::big_grin:

G'day Simon, Welcome to the forums. Good setup at Locksley, :thumb_up: nice little airfield and very nice people. Plenty of places to visit once you spread your wings. Shepparton, Benalla, Mangalore, Bendigo and ECHUCA, to name just a few. :big_grin::big_grin: regards :big_grin::big_grin:

How about the Luftansa pilot who was on the ground (in Berlin) talking to the control tower (on the radio) complaining bitterly that as he was a German pilot, in a German aircraft at a German airport talking to a German in a German control tower, why did they have to use english. Their conversation was interupted by another pilot with a very posh British accent who said.. "Because you lost the bloody war, dear boy" Classic regards :big_grin::big_grin:
