It’s arranged, weather permitting.

The aircraft that I trained in more than 50 years ago has just been advertised for sale. I am sorely tempted, as the price is reasonable and I could afford it. But I have decided no. It is GA registered and, while I could get my Class 2 medical back, it would cost me more than $1000 in specialists fees. I don't qualify for a simpler medical because of past issues. The plane still carries its original VH reg which is why I am attracted to it. It qualifies for RAAus reg but to change the reg would really ruin it for me. And one aircraft is really enough for me anyway.

An amazingly interesting and accurate story.

I ordered this from Anaconda for $490. Local 4WD shop has it for $700! GME Australian Made GNSS Personal Locator Beacon MT620GR Thanks for the advice.

Looks flocking dangerous.

My aeroplane is RAA reg but in all respects can be CASA reg if I choose. All certified instruments etc. So, it is an aeroplane!

My beacon is now 15 years old and I suspect a new one will be better than replacing batteries. What is the best and latest?

Funny I have both of them on my desk at present and was thinking they would probably work.

Everything we post here can be found by an ordinary Google search. I have been surprised in the past by what pops up. If you plan to stand for politics, your fate is already sealed by your previous posts!

I bought a brand new aircraft then paid to have several firewall penetrations properly sealed.

CASa don’t process your medical they just file it. It is kept in case you crash when they can pull it out and put it in a report. They have few or no medically qualified staff.

Classic Aero also make them in New Zealand, very successful.

Did he kill two people at Parafield?

Looks like a catfish.

It surely must be the way of the future, eventually giving us control like birds have. But that might take another fifty years.
