Love to fly

How about a SKY BURIAL in Tibet. (google it)

 

No need to google for me.  I've been to Tibet and heard about these.  The Tibetan Buddhists have a very different outlook on life and death.  The monks also create butter sculptures using ashes of the deceased and yak butter.   Google will tell you more but this is what was done with Kurt Cobain's remains.

 I'm disappointed we don't have many women here. I confess I don't know what the % figures are in RAAus or the VH section but there's no real reason why women shouldn't enjoy flying any less than men do.

 

I fly, as do many of my friends.  The Australian Woman Pilot Association is very active.  But sometimes the posts/comments on this forum mean I stop coming back for awhile.  At times it can get very blokey.   

Another option to a device such as RVAC uses is to have the ashes 'decanted' into a paper bag or two with the top folded over, not tied or taped.  When you drop the paper bag out the storm window it opens on the way down.  This works well and avoids ashes all over the cabin.

Yes I have been banned from the PLA Facebook page as friends obviously administrators don’t like hearing the truth about Tex the flying cowboy.

 

Hmm Truth. Banned??  No. You still show on the list of members. Muted (can't post for short period of time) perhaps. 

Who was the numbskull who didn't get the event covered by Event Cancellation Insurance?

Not sure how this would have worked in this instance.  The event wasn't cancelled.  I think the site was evacuated for a few hours only.

You’re happy with someone flying around the town at power line height? How would you feel about him if he’d hit a house and killed some of your family?

 

No, I'm not.  But that has nothing to do with thinking its a good result that someone is in ICU.    

He has been judged by his peers and found wanting. 

 

Good result.

 

Good result?  Regardless of anything else that seems a tad harsh.  The man is seriously injured and in ICU.  Not something I would wish on anyone.

anyone heard any more?

Are you sure about the blanket 'NO'?

There was a reference at Ausfly about how the senate supported CASA , to our detriment, and how Labor and Greens joined with the Liberals.

 

I would be interested to know more of this story.

 

Pretty sure this was in relation to the decision re Angel Flight.

Umm totally unrelated post .. but a group of us are flying into Gawler for the Cup Day weekend.  Arriving Friday and departing Tuesday.  Please say Hi if you're about.  I'll be in the RV.  ?

Some pics here https://www.facebook.com/2019ausfly/

 

Mostly presentations and sponsors. 

 

I would like some feedback too.  How many, how did it go .. is it worth the interstate trip?  Some plane porn pls.

 

We had a ball. Counted over 220 planes and they were still arriving. Really friendly, fun event. Alsoots of informative presentations. 

It's a pity the poster hasn't captioned the photos in the comments section. I'm not sure what some of the aircraft are.

 

Sorry. I was posting photos on AusFly all weekend. Tried to get Stuart's photos up yesterday. Was doing it at the Dinner on a mobile phone, as otherwise it would ha e had to wait till I got home this afternoon. And it would have taken hours to caption them all. Started putting them up 1 at a time then put them in in groups. 

Well over 200 planes flew in. Fantastic weekend. Presentations were well attended. And loads of photos at https://www.facebook.com/2019ausfly/

Sorry they aren't captioned. And don't think there are any/many duplicates. I put them up whilst at the Dinner last night and it would have taken hours to caption them all. 

" Some schools make up their own sample questions. "

 

Some schools make up their own interpretation of the answers !.

 

What causes icing ?. "moisture in the air", 

 

I answered what is written by CASA , Low pressure in the carbie venturi.

 

Was the question specific to carby icing? If noy then I don't think the carbie venturi pressure is the first cause of icing that comes to mind. 

Suggest that you fix the spelling of the hotshot star aerobatic pilots - Jock Folan and Gerard.

 

Thanks. I don't look after the website but will let them know. Enjoy the birthday party. 

Wow.....accomodation dries up fast.....

 

There's usually some at the pub in Narromine. And think AOPA will be running a shuttle from Dubbo - might be worth giving them a call. 

Hopefully see/meet some of you there. The sponsors and exhibitors coming look great. Display pilots also.

These guys https://www.pilotpracticeexams.com/ and their associated Facebook site are good.  Lots of practise questions and heaps of discussion on Facebook.   https://www.facebook.com/groups/ppexams/

Registration is well and truly open!  Last year the Dinner sold out.  It was an awesome night with Matt Hall as speaker.  Don't leave it too late to book for this year.

His first lesson? I understand it was his third. Regardless, he did a good job. Let's hope the instructor is okay.

 

Listening to the audio between the aircraft and the tower he clearly states its his first lesson.  

Umm so seriously.  There is a landing fee, a taxi fee and a parking fee??  What value is the landing fee if it doesn't include access to the taxiway?  

Silly me.  I thought flying was magic! 

Ok back on track now sir. Is their a contact email or ph number for them please.

 

I'll PM you.

Thanks LTF  is chapter 21 a book supplier like amazon and such

 

Sorry.  Chapter 21 of the SAAA.  We meet at Moorabbin Airport.
