  1. always an imposter mingles Red - a bit like this likely lot
  2. wonder how airline ranking relates to that airlines / countries government support ........... (guessing there will be some airlines that don't recieve any goverment assistance)
  3. 1 × Warner Scarab Junior 5-cyl. air-cooled radial piston engine ?? ............. maybe
  4. 1 × Lycoming O-320 horizontally opposed piston aircraft engine ?? ............. maybe
  5. apart from the rock throwing (all directions) ............ thanks Brendan - somthing to note .......... could be the answer - lets ask some flight schools and see what they say about how they treat any insurance excess - and post
  6. yes ......... interesting to see the delicious cigarettes @ 10.24 ................ while having dinner
  7. we all must be nuts talking about the mechanics of legislation But Turbo does raise the point that any new rule re registration could financially benefit some persons and not others ......... and should be announced correctly
  8. and the data says (numbers rounded) * 70 c dents per 100 miles (fuel) * 40 miles per gallon (fuel) * means that fuel was 28 cents per gallon ? * cigarettes and ashtrays were probably a minimal cost to the body back then
  9. .............. IT crowd - friendface ............
  10. last photo looks squased - a bolbous canopy
  11. and this ............... I assume
  12. true BD ............. but its always advantageous to discuss the absurdity of things (if seen as absurd) something good might come of it by their nature - bureaucracies must go there (either required, not required, willingly or reluctantly)
  13. 1. interesting pint skippy - you are saying - with a PPL or CPL you could do a touch and go at Sydney international airport ......... and you would not need an ASIC card ? 2. in that instance ......... does the legislation say you need an ASIC card ?
  14. 16.51 ......................... when did they change O - oboe to oscar ?
  15. volumetric conversions - here's one that is handy Whiskey 700 mls - 40 % alcohol means = 280 mls alcohol (rocket fuel) has 22 standard drinks 280 mls divided by 22 = 12 to 13 mls of rocket fuel per standard drink other liquids with rocket fuel suspended within the above calculation works ruffly with other liquids standard drink about 13 mls of alcohol
  16. no disrespect BUT they would have had ground crew operating those pads ............... it would not take much ? for a ground radio to advise of movements (perhaps there was - don't know)
  17. my understanding is the airfield owner gets a 'cut' of the landing fee - the 'cut' % age is probably confidential that system is an easy sell for Avdata in that when the airfield owner gets used to the 'take' ................... it's probably then easy for Avdata to get out the thumbscrews ......... and then create a really solid symbiotic mutually beneficial business relationship
  18. there's no option to it .................. you have to stay out of the EMAS (the kitty litter) or you'll be put under the microscope
  19. OK FH - how does it increase your accelerate / stop distance pleaase ? no bucket of flowers if you end up in that bog - the bean counter would not be happy me thinks primarily for saving life (if the undercarriage legs stay put) ...............
  20. real pictures (I think)
  21. just remmeber this all stems form the 2 youngest in the village going up to the big house and asking the lord if they could marry - certain unmentionable practices may of occured at that moment in the parlour ............. unspeakable things we have come a long way since then
  22. ooooohhps - I'll try that again ................. OK Regular person - my twisted thoughts committed now - can't back out what a neighbour does is their own business - you / your (the neighbour of the neighbour) business ends at the boundary line - particularly on rural land - he can race around on a motorbike all day long - noise and dust till the cows come home (he does n't need cows either) - when he tires of that his 12 sons might do the same - staged over the next 20 years - until they leave the allotment you could be a 'drone fanatic' - what happens then the size of their land (don't know) and your land (6 acres ?) is relevant did the neighbours property sell with an airstrip advertised assuming all land is rural in the area if it was residentail land - motorcycle circuits would probably not be allowed - nor a planted line of 20 m high trres when it comes to a neighbouring airstrip ................ I'd go and see your local Council and have a chat with the town planning section - generally such people will tell you what the airstrip man is allowed to do like - was the airstrip always there and was it an allowed use like - private airstrips maybe specifically mentioned and certain rules apply armed with that bureaucratic advice - you might get some solace and it could be a card to be used later ideally best to nut it out with the neighbour - but good for you to know the bits and bobs mentioned above ? me myself - I think you are entitled to your privacy and peace
  23. OK Regular person - my thoughts
