  1. "Do we even consider a complete change of the site to a non-forum type resource like Facebook" I sincerely hope not, I detest that platform.
  2. Search for survivors after seaplane crashes into Hawkesbury River
  3. a Google search on 'fuggly Russian aeroplane' might have found it quick too.
  4. You are basically correct, but only when within range of a secondary surveillance radar head. Once out of that coverage there will be no positional information without ADS-B fitted.
  5. From the article: "The BOM retails online for $1,295 without an ADS-B receiver, and $1,595 with ADS-B In capability." An extra $300 US seems a lot just for an ADSB-In add on.
  6. From a search, it looks like the app is only iPad/iPhone.
  7. True, but private corruption is just as rife. Only problem is that the participants don't see it as illegal, just something that mates do for each other. Whether its inside the political or commercial arena doesn't matter.
  8. No I didn't install. I have not yet tried a Google translate on the page, but it mentions 'cookies' a couple of times. It seems to require some further action, i.e. the install, before it will run.
  9. Seems to want to install a player application before it will play.
  10. I trust everyone is taking the time to respond to the CASA discussion paper and not stopping at just posting here?
  11. And that most of those ANZACS would be excluded these days from senate and lower house due to their country of birth citizenship.
  12. Not a Red Bull fan at all, even more so after the grandson (reportedly) ran down at high speed and killed somebody in Thailand. The Thais are making some very half-hearted attempts at getting him back for trial.
  13. Perhaps he'd recently watched the Red Bull winged suit video?
  14. Was he trying to stop the spin or continue it? A lot of aileron action.
  15. I shudder to think of the ticket price for a family of four flying from Xmas Island via Perth to Melbourne or Adelaide.
  16. I bet in those days you just thought you were a legend, never that you would one day own one.
  17. Presumably you already know that its a Hungarian made Kolibri AK-3? Apart from various photos and basic info I can't find any detail on the prop. Doesn't appear to be in current production.
  18. It would be nice to see a definitive implementation time, rather than just: "The changes, to be implemented across 2018"
  19. Latest VA advisory is looking a little more promising, but the wind is fickle.
  20. Not a dig at Pearo, but I'm astonished at the number of people that are bleating about not being able to GET to Bali at the moment. I'd bet that if asked, none of them would be able to give their contingency plan for getting home again. It will be "somebody else's problem".
