    ................. sounds like normal neighbourly social interaction

    ....... you mean you want to physically buy this ?

    .............. BUT, that would n't benefit you Old K - the airline will surely make a dollar out of it ....... the seat size would remain the same .......... how does someone else's penalty satisfy a fellow traveller Maybe an airline has an obligation to provide 6 bigger seats per flight - for the portly flyers

    ................. what about all them low wings without struts Turbo ?

    very entertaining .................... be good to hear from pilot what actually happened (maybe some brake fade before he went to grass)

    the safety system would not be a person pushing a button to save the lives of the joy riders I'm curious to know what the overall design safety system was supposed to be - there would have to be that basic overall fundamental thing ................ would n't there be ?

    if you do a 'touch and go' at one of these aviation cash .................. I presume there is no fee payable ?

    yes ......... beer and motorbikes do cause headlines I think stupidity becomes more sophisticated ? as you get older ........ so you never quiet escape every statute 'stupid is as stupid does' (F Gump)

    beer and motorbikes after many beers me and mate were off down the country road - he overtook me at some pace he did not realise he was approaching a T intersection (he was the visitor) - could n't stop - through the T and fortunately up a driveway. At this point he had 2 choices - still going fast ................. go into a garage or lay the bike down on a gravel driveway bike was bent but driveable, so he limped home - a dangerous laugh all the same (going through the T)

    and ..................... road signage on the side of a road warning of danger up the road a bit ............. the road signs themselves restricting the road ................ and being a danger themselves

    ................ and striking colour and contrast too

    Could it be that the design of the ride was not safe when a failure occured ........... it was not failsafe Could it be the ride did not have a redundancy - training is one thing but if a trained person had to push a button to stop 4 people being killed ............ that seems to me to be deficient design

    ppphhff - a 1 or 2 $ billion blowout - nothing - they are just warming the public to handle the real BIG number ......... lets wait for the real blowout cost

    yyeeeaaaahhhhh BUT remember we are only on a 45.6 hour week .............. kiwis got to be on a 52.54 hour week - shirley

    the usa defense budget seems to be $ 800 billion for their 2018 year - $ 2.2 billion per day assuming a billion is a 1000 million = $ 91 million per hour ! you could deal with lots of reds or buy lots of beds for that (not to mention the needy, hungry and homeless)

    'TO' being an airstrip ............. be rest assured gravity will take care of the rest I think this is a factor of the conversation (where is that &!@@^% plane on finals)
  20. johnm
    Agree poteroo ...... no flaps till final..................then slip and / or flap Assuming some 'S' turns on final are still socially acceptable as well (if nothing following) Equally you could be 10 miles from your strip cruising ar 1000 ft and all this - gliding - counts for naught

    I dream of the day I can fly a plane ...................... with carb heat birddog (not all ultralights have carb heat)
  22. johnm
    why did the yanks bother with a B17 that took say 3 or 4 tons to berlin ............. when a mossie could take 2 tons with a minimum of fuss ?
  23. johnm
    .......... :
  24. johnm
    I won't do the survey I'll follow the pack .......................... I'm a herd animal
  25. johnm
    good to see the planes but they should stick to the plane itself, there's enough subject matter there ....................... rather than waffling on that hitler had one leg shorter than the other (there's a lot of space filled up by archive footage)
