BigPete

Brilliant report airsick - thanks for sharing with us. :thumb_up: Hey Matt - what ya gunna do when the PC9's come on the market :big_grin::big_grin: regards

Dear PlainVanillaJabbyJuicerGeoff, i_dunno I fear there are many strange things happening in the NES. :yuk: The FriarPuk :thumb_up: has been acting very strangely of late. He has taken to washing his smalls in the communial wine late at night while singimg what could only be descibed as fractured xmas carols. :confused: His somewhat ribald rendition of "Oh Christmas Tree" is particulary disturbing. :yuk: With the first two lines being: "I'll tan your balls, I'll tan your balls..." :black_eye: from here on in it gets worse and worse, too ugly to post here. Meanwhile Le Crappy Captian :heart: is trying to catch up to me as the alias king by reinventing himself almost on a daily basis. His latest guise as I'llSueYourNutsOffSoHelpMeSolicitorCrappyCaptain :devil: is extremely terrifying, not to mention the long black robe and bleached wig he has taken to wearing. So far he has threatened the local free press and managed to put off the local law inforcemnt all in one foul swoop. thumb_down If I can find that bloody pen he lost in his Aunt's garden, I'll shove it where the sun don't shine and he'll be able to sign his name whenever he sits down. Planey has raised some very good points about the Captains validity and it remains to see what crafty diversion Le Crappy :heart: will fabricate to distract us from the real truth. Poor old Paley seems to come and go somewhat infrequently and is paranoid about BigPete being taken away by villians unknown at this stage. :ah_oh: Starchy Nell :black_eye: has paid us a brief visit and is having trouble sitting in his chair without some form of restraint. :ah_oh: He is either sampling too much of the GoodFriarPuks sacrementle wine :raise_eyebrow: or still suffering the effects of electrifying short landings with his arrester hooked, double insulated Storch. I hope this letter finds you in good health. I'm sending you 12 pairs of freshly washed socks, no don't ask, I'll explain later. regards AllWashedOutPete. :big_grin::big_grin::big_grin:

GynoPete :confused: is considering a career change and would like to be a Proctologist. :ah_oh: "Most of my forum mates are such a bunch of 's, I might as well specialize in them", he confided to the only friend that hadn't abused him (GuessWho'sMum'sGotAWhirlpoolCleanSkinJabiruGeoff) :heart: I think I'll go and visit the GoodFriarPuk and help him mind the flock :thumb_up: for a while, up in the mountains said TheSoundOfMusicPete to himself, just for a little while...... (I hear it's not that far from Rootax land, I might be able to help them with the rough running...) regards :big_grin::big_grin:

Wow Chris, 5.2 hours is some time in the air. Did you have any oil left in the motor when you arrived? I don't like to do more than around three hours, and I usually have just a bit of oil showing on the dipstick (wound all the way in). regards :big_grin::big_grin:

quote "What do you think gynacologistPete?" Regarde Le Commode quote (Geez you're a bastard, Captain. :heart:) "I like it" said HowardHandUpMePete :confused: regards :big_grin::big_grin:

My favourite: 747 Captain to a small LSA aircraft (who was waiting for the 747 to exit the runway). "That's a nice little aeroplane, (in a very condecending tone) did you make it yourself." "Yes" replied the small craft, "I built it myself from old wrecks, another landing like your last and I'll have enough bits for two more!" Love it. regards

Just make sure you take the camera and share the fun with us. :thumb_up: regards :big_grin:

People need to be told when they get it wrong. If you don't politely point out their errors then how do they know to lift their game. Most of them just don't think or consider the consequences of their actions. If we say nothing to them, then they assume that everything is fine. Sometimes they need to be told. Firmly and politely. regards

Some real good input there Rom. :thumb_up: When the guys and gals from the Bendigo Gliding Club spent a day flying out of Echuca, I learnt heaps of stuff that will make me a lot safer and confident about flying in and around glider operations. I would encourage everyone to spend some time talking to Glider pilots and learning how things operate. ;) Saftey requires knowledge and understanding. :thumb_up: regards :big_grin:

OK, OK. Remind me not to go to India. Ever. :yuk::yuk: (or China). regards :big_grin:

If it's crop dusting they'll never be above 500ft anyway! regards :big_grin:

Well Captain :heart: (sigh). I knew it was to good to last. Seems we are back to being mere mortals as far as our newfound title descriptions go. Ho-hum never mind. :confused: regards :big_grin::big_grin:

Remind me to travel by train if I go to India. :ah_oh: regards :big_grin::big_grin:

Ok Pete, here it is. Very easy to make. :thumb_up: 1. Solid aluminium rod bent thru 87 - 90% (I think it's half inch, but you better check) x 2 2. Aluminium tube to fit handle and puller internal dia of half inch x 36 inches long. 3. Join with pop rivits and shove on rubber grip at handle end. regards :big_grin:

G'Day Peter, Well, If you must have a tow bar, then a tow bar you shall have. There's one out at the aero club (for a Jabiru). I'll take a photo of it today and post later. regards

G'day Geoff, Picked up my J160 almost three years ago now. I would suggest the following: 1. Bundy to Moree - the longest leg while you're fresh 305nm, 2. Moree to Narromine - strange to see it so quiet. 183nm, 3. Narromine to Griffiths - very good stop, serve your self hot pies, pasties, S rolls etc 163nm, and 4. Griffiths to Mangalore - home. 164nm. I took on fuel at Moree and Griffiths. Griffiths is a real good stop over - nice clubrooms and serve yourself food, honour system to pay. Thee are plenty of allternate airports if you have any trouble. regards

A truce between Planey :big_grin::big_grin: and BigPete :big_grin: can only be a good thing. :thumb_up: Once again the Darstedly Duo declare that they are not gay, :yuk: have never been gay, :yuk: don't want to be gay :yuk: and never will be gay, :yuk: but do enjoy a good sunset and there's nothing wrong with that. :thumb_up: If they're not gay, :yuk: then that means that Paley :big_grin: is not gay :yuk: either by association, which just leaves the Captain. :heart: Based on his amorous :heart::heart::heart: approach to BigPete's Mum :heart: it's a fairly safe bet that the Crappy Captain :heart: is as straight as a die. :thumb_up::thumb_up: I therefor deduct that it's only the Thruster drivers that are gay, :yuk: as they have not disputed the assumption. i_dunno Maybe things might have been different had the aircraft been built with side by side seating. I guess we will never know. Now that our sexuality has been cleared :thumb_up: up we can return to the NES without the inuendo (that's a pun) and get back to funny. ;);) kindest reagrds SetE'mStraight(InMoreWAysThanOne)Pete. :big_grin::big_grin::big_grin:

Dear Mr Crappy Captain. :heart: Although we have not been formaly introduced, I feel that I have known you for somtime. ;) My LittleBigPete tells me you can be a very naughty boy :ah_oh: at times and I feel I should come over for dinner and give you a damn good spanking. :devil: So I will take you up on your kind offer, shall we say 7.30 at your place. :) PS I'll bring my toothbrush. ;) regards BigPete's Mummy. :heart::heart:

So Planey, ;) a Freudien slip :confused: - RiverLAD girl. So It was you and the Rivlerland LAD in the cockpit watching the sunset. :heart: C'mon laddie, come out of the closet. Some of my best friends are gay, :hug:don't be shy we're all men here. Well, most of us are. :thumb_up: Except for you and all the guys that fly Thrusters. :yuk: (that should get some action). :big_grin::big_grin: Palexxxx may be jealous :broken_heart: of your latest conquest, but I'm sure he will come around and share the sunsets and the stars. :heart::heart: I can just see it now, Paley, Planey and the Riverland LAD, all squeezed into the front seat of the Jabisleeze cockpit. :yuk:i_dunno:ah_oh: regards :big_grin::big_grin:

Greetings to the members of the Never Ending Story. This is BigPete's Mummy. :heart: If the Captain, :heart: Planey, :heart: Paley :heart: and other members of these forums can't play nice with my little boy (who loves his sister, only in a brotherly way) then I will not let him play anymore. :ah_oh: He's a good boy. :thumb_up: Play nicely and be fair or else. signed MrsI'llWhipYourButtIfYouDon'tCleanUpYourActBigPete'sMum. So there. :big_grin: PS Don't make me come down there. :devil:

Hooray - IMightBeABitLatePalexxxx but I'mInForTheLongHaulCobberDiggerMate wonders i_dunno what FamilyFirstPete :thumb_up: is up to. It's simple - PayerOfTheFuelBillsMrsPete :heart: demanded his presence on a Melbourne trip to see the GrandeKiddies and the daughter (Michelle). Skillfully hiding his laptop inside his pillow, SneakyPete (who might end up as DeadAsADoorNailPete :yuk: if caught by the afore mentioned payer of the Aero accounts ) patiently waits his chance to log on to the NES......... Alas - there is no sign of Planey :big_grin: lurking anywhere near the story which probably means the LeaningSlightlyToOneSideWithHisRubberBitStillMissingCaptain :heart: (whoops, slips, bang, ow!) who is still looking in his Aunt's garden for the lead in his pencil, may jump back in. (Really:question:). Lets see :ah_oh::ah_oh: who gets here first........ regards :big_grin::big_grin::big_grin:

Well Captain :heart: it's obvious to me that the other less favoured story tellers are having a bit of a dummy spit. :yuk: No contributios from any one else (I was travelling, and could not get to a computer). Sorry to leave you alone by yourself, :confused: I can see you are getting quite desperate, resorting to the use of the expensive smiley characters :big_grin: and inventing little tales about the poor French Secret Police will do you no good I'm tippen' (just don't sail in anything!). :ah_oh: I must leave you know to your own devices (or is that vices ) as PartyAnimalPete has to partake in the merry making ;) and drinking :thumb_up: at a family gathering. regards :big_grin::big_grin: PS My Aunt's garden is full of pencils.

Now, Now, Ben. :big_grin: It's just that there are a lot of extras at the Horsham Fly In. :thumb_up: And don't forget the Hopetown Fly In is immortalized in the Never Ending Story.........:big_grin::big_grin: regards

Spot on Brentc. :thumb_up: regards

We interupt this Never Ending Story with a few short words from one our main players, MasterOfTheSmileyYouNeverHadItSoGoodPete - :big_grin: "So the great provider of the forums SwamiMyDad'sNameIsJackAndI'mJustIan is in cahoots with the FrenchConnectionLeCrappyCapitian :heart: who also happens to be part German as well." said SmoothAsPete. :big_grin: "That would make him 30% French, 17% German and 53% Spanish as in El Bastardo. But that's all right, thumb_down hell, he even gets his own way with the bit on the side (of the forums - TheGrandPooBah). But don't you worry about us cobber - oh no, we were just your friends, :hug:your mates, :heart: your compadres, :black_eye: but that's Ok, you cuddle up to your new friends in high places, :ah_oh: we'll keep doing the hard yards without you." "This is WhyCan'tIBeFamousLikeElCapitanoTotallyPOPete saying Hasta La Vista Baby" We now return you to normal programming.....:confused::confused::confused: regrets :raise_eyebrow::raise_eyebrow::raise_eyebrow:
