    more Capt Wally .................... ! .............. Your not hated. I think you have an interested following ......... you certainly shoot straight from the hip i guess what you described you find in all jobs - mind you they say some pilots can be particularly egotistical beasts. - what was it like under the expert eye of some captains when you were 1st officer - what were you like as capt to your 1st officers - what was the worst flying experience you had with a senior pilot - what was the worst flying experience you had with a junior pilot - did you ever smoke a joint while up there high - did you ever down a scotch while up there high - did the cabin crew have a better job than pilots - did refuellers have a better job than pilots - did you change airlines much - or once employed you had to stick to it - how many hours and years did you clock up - was there any commercial flying that you did find enjoyable - have you thought of returning to some sort of paid flying - like instructor .......... shan't ask again

    1982 ? - piper tomahawk (s) $ 30 & $ 33 per hour (the instructors were raking it in) flew a tomahawk a couple of years back - compared to an ultralight a tomahawk is heavy and stable - not unlike a kitchen bench ............. with wings

    agreed DGL Fox .................... its a fantastic opportunity to get in the record books - and the longer an older person delays the record attempt - the more chance they have of having their names as the record holder for the longer period (just don't leave it to long though)

  14. johnm

    Some of the C182*s (maybe the older ones) ................... seem to have a banshee whistle to them - which i think is more pronounced than the engine noise - from the ground when they fly past Might be the wing stuts
  22. johnm
    we have a multi subject conversation going here ............. flying and politics sticking to the more satisfying and interesting subject of flying - it will be good to determine if the plane is being used for REC use and also nice to see a polly using an ozzie made Jabiru (can't be bad for Jabiru)
