lol I just turned on live atc

Found it they are coming over at exactly 9:59am. Currently out over straddie.

Thanks Crezzi. But what time in brisbane, that would be say early on the 0925???

Cheers. I know it's between 9 and 10:30 but as I am at work need to know what time exactly. Thanks, Shags

Anyone know what time the F-111's are coming over brisbane today? Not really on topic but I thought someone might know. Cheers, Shags

Don't want to hijack but: defence semi circle? My first training was to do a semi circle at archerfield. I thought it strange when the RA guys at ycab tought me rectangle circuits.

Many ways to respond to that comment and I am sure most will get me banned.

Nothing like an instructor pulling power off when you are a bit out on downwind and you realise you are too far too make it back to the strip. I swear first time he did that to me my next circuit was half the distance ;)

Yeah he likes to get um up as quick as he can...

Great idea. Foster a bit of understanding between the two groups. Admittedly I have never been flying while they are needing to land etc. however I have watched a few incidents and wondered that there hasn't been a crash yet.

Yeah imagine what the place will be like if tehy shut down another airport (like Caloundra). Brisbane needs an RA airport on the southside of town. That would ease the pressure on Caboolture and redcliffe and make things safer for everyone.

With you now. You're right it does look done up. Those locks can be deceptive at times. I always run a finger of the tab at the top to make sure.

Like I said, hadn't got to that side yet for the latch (don't know why but I always do the pilot side first then the passenger side).

Yeah I went through everything with Evita including going up to 3,000 ft and demonstrating breifly what the engine will sound like when coming in to land (ie, idle) just so she is aware. She appreciated that immensely.

Great stuff, thanks Maj.

Nicely said Ian and agree 100%. I think the new treasurer really needs to comment but we can't expect that until he has had a chance to review the situation and financials properly.

Yeah but as compared to a 1hr car trip and tolls both ways...

Shouldn't that be part of the minutes?

I WANTIT!!!!! Damnit this makes me want my PPL's even more now.

Thanks relfy. Found a way to do it on google maps though (not the best way but good for a really quick really rough estimate, ie. to win a bet ;) ) Up side to winning the bet is he wants me to fly him out there. Should be fun.

nm. Got it. Yay free beer for me.

How do you get the distance from google maps?

Great site Crezzi. Thx. By my calc close to 20nm.

Need to know the distance between Caboolture and Maleny to the north. Someone in the office bet me it is a lot more than 25nm. Cheers, J

Interesting note I was having a look on his blog and noticed that he commented the RA shop wasn't doing so well. Amazed the hell out of me. I didn't know they had a shop. I went to the site and it took me ages to find it.
