  1. Do you drink alcohol or smoke? Have you flown commercially in airlines? All of those have risks way in excess of the odds of any vaccine problems. Are you a risk taker?
  2. Flightrite, jackc...... you blokes had a vaccine shot?
  3. Or too many people are believing stupid conspiracy theories and their political bias and unreasonable logic is going against doing the sensible and right thing for the population. Dan is the best premier Australia has. The current covid crises in Vic is due to the NSW premier complying with Scotty from marketing's bullying and locking down 2 months late, spreading the virus to the rest of the country.
  4. Very reminiscent of a Whitman design, the Tailwind.
  5. Wellcamp is an International airport, I notice they said "If the federal government won't allow aircraft to fly to Wellcamp, we will bus them there". Didn't they offer to build the centre in September last year? The feds said they wanted it built on Commonwealth land in Brisbane.
  6. CASA not interested in bullet holes, I reported to them about being shot at and getting damage to the aircraft. All the bloke from CASA said was "Yeah, we used to get that all the time in Vietnam". No follow up, no investigation. Police were the same, not interested. This happened in the early 2000's.
  7. Have you seen another photo of the wings somewhere else?
  8. You forgot loathsome, blame shifting and talking of blame shifting Scotty from marketing has been absent. One of his very few public appearances he said the mission in Afghanistan was accomplished so all OK. After the Russians left there 20 years ago the place was overun in a couple of weeks, now Scotty from marketing says it happened too fast to try and help those that helped us. Those that don't learn from history. Thread drift, spin is the connection.......
  9. Their god must be busy doen all sorts of favours, especially in the Us where all those evangelical leaders are asking for more jets and mansions
  10. I'm sure it is very entertaining Captain Gazza but as soon as the words came up "Why we Pray" I glazed over and everything went blurry. How does loosing your tailwheel finish upside down in a wreck?
  11. America were right in there with first concentration camps in the Philippines, if they weren't the first they perfected it.
  12. Cessna's from 180 onwards are VERY heavy, I doubt I could overpower a full deflection trim especially if the seat was not in the optimal position.
  13. Didn't watch the rundown on it only about 5 seconds off the ground to crash. Control lock or seat slid back
  14. I'm happy what Dan is doing, would you rather be in the mess NSW is in? That's what happens when politics gets involved, Gladys and Scotty from marketing have shown how badly handled policy and blame shifting doesn't work with covid.
  15. Because there's still not enough vaccine to go around, vaccine hesitancy has been blamed, that was to try and cover the fact that there is just not enough vaccine. People 12 to 50+ the only choice is AZ if they can get it. If Scotty from marketing refused AZ so you can see why some of the population don't want it either.
  16. If our esteemed PM would only have Pfizer then you can't blame others for refusing AZ
  17. I think that would have a nickname of legbreaker
  18. Look at that flap!!!!! With that power and wing would be a ripper short field machine
  19. Edenhope is a good runway, I use it in the summer on fires. We used it 3 days and about 10 loads last summer, how do you work out cost recovery of that sort of work? If Edenhope wasn't available then nearest strips would have been 45 minutes to an hour turnaround. No doubt the fires we worked on would have spread more and cost a lot more in lost assets if we couldn't load in Edenhope. As quoted before, travellers don't pay to use parks, toilets, parking or roads driving through towns. Why should flying be any different? Little wonder GA is on it's knees, from CASA, Federal government, Air Services Australia and local council all gouging what they can from those rich bastards that fly. I no longer have a private aircraft because of the costs.
  20. I have been trying to sell a disassembled aircraft for ages. A 172D in pieces. The aircraft has an STC to fit a 180HP engine. The aircraft is complete without an engine. The STC includes new prop and engine mount. I was asking 15K (the STC is worth more than that) all I got was tyre kickers, time wasters. While not a kit aircraft it's cheaper than any kit.
  21. The NSW Gov has made it clear they do not (With the insistence of Feds) want to have a State wide lockdown. Glady's quote "I fear for Victoria and worry about what their government may do. I hope we have demonstrated to other states it is possible to manage an outbreak and not shut down a city" She feels pretty foolish now I bet.
  22. Yes but.................if vaccinated you won't get as sick and it hopefully won't kill you
  23. I am trying to do better.......
  24. Give it some time, after a while you should start to relax. I suffered from airsickness when maneuvering, got used to it and have been flying for a while now.
