    Hi all, With the impending meeting in Canberra regarding RAAUS/AUF I wonder if we are really losing sight of our heritage??? and maybe we should STOP and rethink ------ what we are --- where we are ----- and where we want to go ??? Just a thought starter.

    Can only be a Foxbat A22ls, more than enough shoulder room and no bloody control stick to get stuck on your legs --- great stall speed and more than enough cruise --90 knots for xcountry work, an all round excellent trainer and very safe aircraft to fly, has to be a Foxbat, go fly one and them make up your mind. Pete.

    No worries, I'm sure that none of us know every aircraft built, so don't worry.

    Have you not heard of a Foxbat Rick-P??

    What plane is that?? Well done, yes it's the shadow of my Foxbat 24-4883 at YCAB, and attached is a photo of her landing at YWSG at the last Festival of Flight 2010.

    Kingaroy, high and dry
  12. Pete-the-Pilot
    Yea mate, it is Bradfield and no I didn't land even though it looked dry from the air ---- safety first :-)

    :crying:Unfortunately, I understand that the event was called off ---- either today or yesterday.

    Hi All, I am attaching some photos taken by some fellow pilots and myself on recent flights out over the flooded areas around Toowoomba/Pittsworth/Cecil Plains/Dalby/Kingaroy.

    Hi All, This lot of photos is for those of you who are too young to have experienced this disaster and too those of you who remember and too any of you --- who like me went out every day and assisted in the relief operation, the joys of being in the Marine industry and owning a boat. Here are some nostalgic photos of "THE BIG FLOOD" of '74. http://www.couriermail.com.au/news/gallery-e6freon6-1225937772687 <<<< go this link to see all the photos. Two photos [803648 & 804565] are of the area now know as south Bank and that is where the service department used to be, in '74, under water and 2 foot of silt covered the floor after the waters receded, and it took months of very hard and dirty,smelly work to clean the place. --- YUK!! Photo 771514 is a dredge wedged under the Centenary bridge at Jindalee and if you wanted a beer at the regatta Hotel then you had to own a boat. Let's hope this doesn't ever happen again. Pete.
