Affirmative Gravity

I have flown from North of Benalla for 15 years and learned that what is at ground level can be +90 degrees different by only +300 ft elevation. This is especially true when cold easterlies come off the alps. A fleeting glimpse of the sock is important. Drift on different approach legs should give a bit of an idea but it is not a certainty.

I spent 15 years in road accident rescue and continued to be amazed/ashamed that bystanders could drink booze, smoke beside leaking fuel and then make unwitty comments on the rescue process.

I have looked at the local distributor site but no mention of V16

Early ABC tv news announced it as a glider. Accurate in one sense.

The U S military aircraft were fitted with US manufactured engines and ancillaries. The norm for US contracts. Only a bit Pommie. Great a/c nonetheless.

I renewed my subs cca1700 today and appears ok at 1930. Using a Macquarie bank based card

Try Jim Cuthill at Devenish (North of Benalla) Falconhawke is the school. Small concern but excellent.

Where is Camit when you need it. Could have survived except for ill feeling from a known person.

I will split you the difference, 38 miles by Ozrunways on WAC. I drove pass Wang today and great conditions. One a/c doing circuits. Happy flying

Wangaratta is about 30 miles from Albury/Wadonga

I don't think you are allowed to gate crash events such as this. I recall a number of times companies being restrained such a the airship which was to overfly the grand final in Melbourne and skywriters being stopped from displaying company names not of official sponsors at the AGP at Alfred Oark Melbourne some years ago.

Another great place to visit is the old Qantas hangar at Parap. It stands on the site of Darwin's first civil aerodrome at Parap. Ross Smith Avenue is in fact the the original runway on which Ross and Keith Smith landed in December 1919 when they won the first England to Australia air contest and a $10,0. At I believe, MacDonald St it is now the home of a car restorers group. It will fill hours for you.

I just watched Mighty Planes on tv and noticed that the 707 aircraft flown by Omega was labelled in large letters at the front door as EXPERIMENTAL. Just how big can experimental be? The aircraft was conducting inflight refuelling with the marines on training missions.

The WASPs were issued a handbook about A5 with about 3 pages on each of all of the possible aircraft that they could encounter from single to 4 engine. They transported aircraft to units which then did the final service before being allocated to theatre. They flew the aircraft with all sorts of unservicabilities too.We think we face difficulties.

Interestingly, AOPA is also theAustralian Orthotic Prosthetic Association. Do we progress from one to the other?

Well done to pickup the anomaly Ian. I also saw the hacked screen but as you shut the site I assumed that you were onto it.

If this upsets you go to the boneyard in AMARG Arizona. Great museum then a bus trip through the aircraft lines.

Maybe a lanyard to dangle our ASIC from.

Any one know what happened to the stock that was left when Camit shut down?

Excellent news

Emergency services reporting an incident at Nanneela. Any further news?

Searching I found aviationlakehopper.com works.

Can anyone suggest a source of Aeroshell W100+ in Melbourne or a supplier elsewhere with reasonable freight costs. Thanks
