Flying Binghi

When I originally heard about the ‘Trump said’ disinfectant comments I thought he were being a dill. After seeing that video I see it were nothing of the sort. He were referring to one of the options the virus ‘experts’ were looking into. Considering Ivomectin is a proven treatment tool for the china virus its not much of a jump to think that all treatment possibilities should be considered. It would be nice to know who Trump were talking to when he commented on the disinfectant enquires. It would appear that throughout the video he were talking to a panel of expecting off camera - off camera in the edited short ‘cut’ that we see at any rate. .

The Poms voted out Winston Churchill in 1945 after only 5 years in office... go figure... .

Yer gotta wonder. Put the airfield in a great engine out mostly tree free area and then go and plant trees all round it. Then there’s the increase in rotor turbulence from the trees... .

The polls before the 2016 election said Trump would never win the election..... So much for the polls..🙂 .

Don’t appear to be scripted as such. More like a few discussion subjects outlined then spend an hour or so exploring. Some of the people he has sat down with are: Kim Beazley, Peter Costello, Brett Weinstein, Bjorn Lemberg, Jenny Stanger, and many others. https://m.youtube.com/c/JohnAndersonConversations/videos

Yeah. I think FR were going to stop selling R22’s to Oz because we kept pranging them. Though, yer gotta wonder were it the pilot skills of the “ringer” that caused a crash, or the low level flying into power lines etc that would have happened if the same muster were done in a fixed wing ? ...then there were them VDO problems. I mentioned the FR comment in post #174 over at prune a few years back. I recalls seeing the FR comment last time I looked in the back of an R22 flight Manual back in the late 80’s, maybe early 90’s, though have not been able to find a google reference to it. https://www.pprune.org/rotorheads/102183-fixed-wing-rotary-career-incl-changing-licence-rotary-9.html .

How you react before you think. The immediate ‘muscle memory’ response. For a good overview: https://aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/11786/what-are-the-drawbacks-of-being-a-helicopter-and-fixed-wing-pilot-at-the-same-ti .

Going off his YouTube interview series “Conversations With John Anderson” I’d say He is taking a new approach to things. He comes across as far more intelligent then I once thought. .

??? From the get-go, Trump spoke of the man made china virus and were ridiculed for it. Seems he were spot on... “...In a recent article, the Wall Street Journal outlines how China has begun spreading viral messages in an attempt to shape the narrative of the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic. The communist country’s state-run media outlets have been allowed by Twitter and Facebook to flood their platforms with posts disparaging American efforts to stop the Chinese virus pandemic, as well as posting misinformation about the Wuhan coronavirus itself...” https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2020/04/11/wsj-china-floods-facebook-and-twitter-with-chinese-virus-disinformation/

Yep, Frank Robinson reckoned the most dangerous helicopter pilot is a fixed wing pilot. .

Several documented accidents caused by unrestrained dogs. e.g... https://www.foxnews.com/us/large-dog-in-planes-cockpit-likely-caused-fatal-crash-ntsb-says .

??? Reference please 🙂 .

Perhaps it is time for John Anderson to interview Dick Smith. I suspect our Mr Smith is one of those “challenges that will not go away”... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UJjhh939LD0 .

“...women fighter pilots...” Tut-tut !... Jerry_Atrick, yer caint have women fighter pilots - They is now woper fighter pilots..... 🙂 😚 .

Sad really. When discussing the RAF these days it is not about flying............. 😉 .

Yep!, Methusala, as always, a lot more to it. A long list of one thing leads to another... “The Captain acted with the best of intentions...” “...The Board of Inquiry concluded that the instructor devised a demonstration of asymmetric flight that was 'inherently dangerous and that was certain to lead to a sudden departure from controlled flight' and that he did not appreciate this. The Board noted there were deficiencies in the acquisition and documentation of 707 operational knowledge within the RAAF combined with the absence of effective mechanisms to prevent the erosion of operational knowledge at a time when large numbers of pilots were resigning from the air force. There was no official 707 QFI conversion course and associated syllabus and no adequate QFI instructors' manual. There were deficiencies in the documented procedures and limitations pertaining to asymmetric flight in the 707 and a lack of fidelity in the RAAF 707 simulator in the flight regime in which the accident occurred, which, assuming such a requirement existed, required actual practise in flight. 'The captain acted with the best of intentions but without sufficient professional knowledge or understanding of the consequences of the situation in which he placed the aircraft,' the Board said...” https://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=19911029-0 .

Nice looking aircraft. In the first photo, the dark blue machine, looking at what I assume to be the drop tanks it looks like the centreline tank is way out of whack with the wing tanks... strange to have what would apear to be a high drag set-up. .

The Angel 44 instructors recent experience is documented. Obviously some issues and a cause there. Though, I’m a bit mystified how it is a RAAF check captain could be doing a ‘manoeuvre’ outside of what would be considered safe practice ? Were it something that they had been doing for several years with-out issue ? .

Defenders of what ? “...Britain’s Royal Air Force (RAF) is embracing gender-neutral pronouns such as ‘Ze’, ‘Per’, and ‘Hir’ to become “fit for the 21st century.”...” https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2020/10/22/air-force-embraces-gender-neutral-pronouns-airman-becomes-air-per/ As “Force” is a very masculine term and is now ‘wrong-think’ the RAF will need to be renamed. To save having to repaint every thing in the RAF inventory it is proposed to just re-think the F in RAF. A competition will be held to find the appropriate ‘right-think’ of the ‘wrong-think’ F term... .

Heh..🙂 Well... I used to fly south of Darwin 30 odd years ago and it were completely different then... It must be all that global warming making the smoke all different and causing the beer to go flat in the can........ 😉 .

A quick perusal of the Professions Australia web site didn’t show any global warming histeria so they caint be to bad..🙂 .

Flying just like a house fly. Yer can see just how mini computer controlled battle field drones will be in a few short years. .

Amazing stuff..😎 .

Would one of them Borer props work ? Used by some on the Super Cubs. .

What a list !!!...😧 .
