  1. B737, classic version obviously 😉😉
  2. The word Aviation to councils is like waving a red rag to a bull! Their sole purpose is to be obstructive 🤮
  3. Water is something that my planes never see! I use furniture polish after every flight, I clean the underbellies front to back, I like slippery airframes👍
  4. Still happens today, just not M/T😂😂 That event was an embarrassing time for Australian military😂😂
  5. Rollo I follow the guy (Don Fieldon)in the States Aeropup USA and he’s been building his demo one for years now!
  6. For many years timber was the preferred building medium for many forms of transport, that concept still applies here😂
  7. They can ditch the glossy mag, it’s just part of the rich boys club that has become RA these days!🤮
  8. At election time😂😂
  9. Flew into a grass strip not far from the gorge accomodation around 30 years ago in a PA42, can’t recall the airstrip name and all my older log books are buried, somewhere😂I recall cattle getting curious about this big grey thing settle in the middle of a paddock😉Lovely spot what I can remember.
  10. Oz ain't far behind those stats! I’m on vacation (as the yanks say) atm on the border new/qld and walking daily on the beach I see so many who have no shame! Whales in and out of the water!😂😂
  11. Mid 70’s @ YMEN, ah the good old days👍
  12. Tried to contact Floods the other day but the email goes to Rotax in Austria!🙂🙁
  13. Yeah genuine Rotax floats are black, the blue ones are epoxy, made by Marvel Schebler, the carby people. How much were they from Floody’s?
  14. It’s cheaper to buy from Spruce in the States inc postage than here in Oz! Lockwood USA don’t seem to ship to Oz🙁 They sure have a captive market!🙁
  15. Anyone seen the insane price of the blue type fuel floats for the 912. $940+ for a set with bowl gaskets, $1280+ for ‘certified Rotax’ floats!…..the worlds gone mad!……for a few bucks more I could buy the whole engine, well almost!😂
