    I travelled to central highlands yesterday - went by Qlink - as always can't complain about the service Its also encouraging that we live in such a safe society - I got a bomb test at brisbane airport - a breatherlizer test in Emerald town - AND a bomb test at emerald airport ....................... crikey

    that would make a good new thread, that FH - there are lots of instances of planes that have flown away by themselves - their landings would of no doubt been more spectacular
  3. johnm
    And also ......................... the easiest plane to fly is the type were there's an instrucor sitting right next to you

    Bull - if you supply your postal address or bank details - I'm sure we could all chip in and buy you a keyboard ?

    .............. old and bold ? its difficult to say that fate and timing were the only factors I hope all - including the passengers family and friends move on as best they can and have a good future life

    this link suplies more intrigue .......................... page 1 http://southburnettcouncilwatch.org/?p=1 sorry BB ............ no strip club (yet)

    good point BB - could be an air park

    8.Its probably better to have him inside the tent pissing out than outside the tent pissing in. Lyndon B Johnson. What was LBJ thinking here ! - is this a Kevin R and Julia G type of comment ?

    another good reminder is what a well known radio announcer says which helped me: 'a good way to quit smoking is to stop sucking on the ends of them' ................. sort of reinforces what smoking is all about in a way

    reading the latest sport pilot mag and a particular plane in that mag - it said one notch of flap to be selected for take off I can't imagine any ultalight wouldn't get off the ground without flaps being selected (assuming the plane has flaps) - is there an ultralight that won't leave the ground without flap - or is there some other issue ? just curious
  11. johnm
    2 or 4 stroke ozzie ? - style of stroke for ultralight to get to shore ? sorry mate - couldn't resist it

    ................ your telephone call is important to us, so please ..............

    yes they say if you get a tattoo of a butterfly be prepared for it to look like a moth ............... further down the track

    I think it gramatically incorrect to put 'cheap' and 'avgas' in the same sentence
  15. johnm
    80 kts - could be fiscal 'priority' to There have to be some societies out there that would place no importance on a car or even maybe a house All you have to do is explain to the family that the boss has decided to take on a rental house - for a change - and the all (or some) of the family fortune will be invested in aviation. Planes might not have a gauranteed return - aircraft hangars look like a sure bet though

    Nein - only see nine hindenboob extremities If its infantile - couldn't imagine what a adult hindenbood would look like great looking aircraft all the same
  17. johnm
    re the baloon - what interest me is the 4 extremities either side ............ 8 total - wondering if they might be ballast and valves on the tips (tips I said) for ballast control ? great looking aircraft all the same
  18. johnm
    might be all those other things that reflect who you are but I agree with FH's point .............. pilots, ownership or hire, its a group of people, its interaction, getting to know others with an aviation interest .................. thru similar owners, most other aircraft owners or even the local aero club (if there is one)
  19. johnm
    Hey VFR - I was born over there and also hanged around Hood aerodrome also - small world eh

    I'm a retracking record .............. but under the regulatory division the first thing that would be an immediate benefit to members would be to get rid of annual airplane registrations (lets stamp out tedium) If the organisation needs revenue lets devise another way (like 'hot potatoe' or spin the bottle - etc) - not by creating mountains of annual paper work - as is the current system

    I just read in a nz rag that a 'biggles' flew a C150 or 152 from hobart tas. to haast nz. (middle west coast sth island nz) direct ............ .......................... 10.50 hours I think it said !
  22. johnm
    another one is sunlight soap - good gear I reckon - the good old cake of yellow soap - and plenty cheap to - soap it on with a rag and then come back for a second go and the exhause gunk goes you can use for other things as well having matrimonial problems ?; give your wife a good hot bath in sunlight soap - these problems will also be fixed in no time .... as well

    .............. I'll die trying .............. I'll die trying to keep the premiums current, so I they get a good life assurance payout
  24. johnm
    nothing has happened because we don't really know anything ....................... any statement would be a rumour - but I think lots know and have heard things that put the movie 'a death by a thousand cuts' into the GA classification (I think)
  25. johnm
    be good when people post videos that we could see what's happening a bit around the hangars - just being nosey great day for flying in that video - thanks no bugs on the windscreen no bug windscreen days are the best I reckon
