    In a lot of these I'd say Familiarity Breeds contempt. Unless you're on centrelines and the other things are where they SHOULD be you can Make Headlines easily. A tug can't stop an big plane easily either. No way should you you be moving fast.. Nev

    They are Overseas occurrences and not necessarilly detached. Interesting how they Make that engine Look about 4 times the size it actually is. Nev

    That s OK. A spin is like being stuck to the inside of a descending rotating cylinder and the speed doesn't build up no matter how long you are in it. It Hit the ground FAST straight on the Nose. Developed spins are usually flatter the longer you are in them. I don't think anyone was controlling that Plane. Nev

    The tow Bar actually turns the nosewheel, which can pivot 90 degrees. Nev

    They are always in a hurry. They were good on the Nullarbor . Passed my veteran Indian over the Centreline and gave me the whole lane. I tried to make it easy for them too. .Nev

    They Hook onto the Nosewheels and have limited strength. I can't recall any other incident where it came unhooked A TAA DC 9 that should have been disconnected but wasn't went under the Aerobridge at Tullamarine. damaging the cockpit area. Nev

    Towbar became disconnected I believe.. Probably no one in the aircraft. Nev

    That's fine red. but you have had a few shot's of a personal nature against Me and I don't think that's right . I DO value my reputation for things like trust and honesty. I also don't beat around the bush that much. That's Always been Me. I hate to be Long winded. I will Always respond to a genuine question and Hate Pissing contests. How one comes across on line is very much in the Mind of the Perceiver. I don't try to Portray an Image one way or another. I KNOW I can annoy some people but it's not my Aim. AS they say "You Can't Win them all." AS an excuse I AM an aeroplane and engine Nutter every day of my life but It's an affliction and eventually an addiction . Anyhow, Before you die, SEE HARS. Nev

    I will say what I have learned about any Motor and none of them are perfect, especially Piston engines. A motor that can't be faulted is yet to be built. They are built by Humans. Reciprocating engines have rapid Load reversals. torsional vibrations and can fly apart with great force. Better you know about it and deal./ live with it or perhaps be FAT, DUMB and Happy with blissful Ignorance I can understand that but don't whinge IF/When you come unstuck. So far it's worked for ME. Haven't injured any person OR Damaged a Plane. I've had a LOT of failures but I didn't CAUSE any of them. Nev

    That's been covered Brendan. We are on totally different wavelengths. Nev
