  1. for those of us not getting sport pilot, WHO is the new CEO and HAVE THEY BEEN SOLD>>> Its a simple question without going all over the paddock...
  2. They are the shock off the royal enfield motor cycle.
  3. hence the temptation to be less than forthright with answers to questions. I was knocked back a few tears ago becaquse of one minor incident 15 years in tghe past that had nothing to do with fitness to fly. Didnt bother after that, no point. Stayed with RAA.
  4. 2 comments deleted because of language....mod
  5. Unfortunately they make their own rules and woe betide any body/Govt/orgamnisation that goes against them. The old saying the pen is mightier than the sword applies to them and remember, never let the facts get in the way of a good story. Sorry to be making light of it but your proposal, albeit laudible, seems to be an exercise at windmill tilting.
  6. Hey Guys, NEVER...NEVER let the facts get in the way of a jounalists career path...lol
  7. Only 7 years late but at least I have my answer...thank you lol
  8. I read that the aircraft was travelling from the goulburn area to wedderburn.
  9. Cameron corner has accomodation, airstrip beside road about 1/2 k from the corner. Fairly rough strip but usable.
  10. Broken Hill aero club has accomodation units. Basic but on the airfield.
  11. I would have thought that the best effort would be put into finding a convenient landing spot and concentrating on that, not recalling master of physics lessons andsecond guessing the initial decision which was to land safe. Laws of physics and convoluted theories are great in the classroom but when the excrement hits the revolving thing get practical. Always fly assuming you will need a safe landing spot at any time.
  12. I built my own RAA aircraft and was trained in it by a qualified instructor, no problems. Not sure about GA aircaft. Check the rules online or ask a flight instructor.
  13. fly to darwin, do the BFR at the aero club and then pick up your plane.
  14. did we ever get an answer about why there was no fuel in the original filter...???
  15. How many p[eople remember the smallpox vaccination certificates that were required for travel overseas in the sixties and seventies. etc etc. Nothing changes,
  16. I dont think anyone disagrees but, is someone not already trying to do that, or is this another pie in the sky attempt...hurry up and wait.
  17. Any body knows Oz is west Island, cheez, I thought that was common knowledge...lol
  18. Has anyone actually contacted the school involved for their input...for their side of the incident..
  19. Waiting for the alternative org.....waiting......waiting.........zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
  20. given the time these things take, and the past history of this, I would not get too excited. Better off taking up watching grass growing as a hobby. In other words, low confidence level from this observer.
  21. some bristols were converted in NZ to carry bread to the pacific islands. Last seen by on display near Hamiltom in NZ.
  22. trust the government, we are here to help you....said no one
  23. Loved mine, flew it all over NSW and Vic. Had it for 10 yrs Great aircraft if you are not in a hurry. Would have another in a shot.
