Hi Bouncingtigger, and .Are you planning to fly RAAus planes at all?

 

BTW that is one massive cat in your avatar - bigger than my two put together! Is it a Maine Coon?

 

Cheers,

 

Neil

Yep, thats my Daisy, 10 kg of Maine Coon. I would love to get into trikes, its a long standing dream, but I do like working on aircraft themselves. if even I could get involved on the maintenance and repair side I'd be happy!

 

 

Presumeably not the Turbo Porters.Alan.

Australian Army operated Turbo-Porters with the PT6A-20 from 1968 onwards. The type saw action in Vietnam, as did the Air America (CIA) Fairchild built Turbo-Porters.

 

 

Did a lot of time working on and flying in Army Pilatus Porters. Been flown horizontally, laterally, vertically as well as backwards depending on the wind. Favorite experience was listening to Mirage pilots on the fighter net screaming 'bingo fuel' in the circuit waiting for us to land at Willytown.
