ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT ROB!

Thanks so much for posting it, we're all green with envy who were'nt with you:crying:.

Having one of the nicest cabin heaters one could wish for, would have made the trip even "more special" :face and heart:.

The video clip was really something you should be justly proud of, and would have given so many of us a lot of happiness to see. Well done!

Kind Regards

Alan

A mate sent me this link which takes a minute or so to load.

IF YOU LIKE AIRCRAFT: THIS IS A MUST!

For all you aircraft nuts…

This great...no, AWESOME would be a better description.

Edwards AFB open house get your speakers ready because

at various points there is audio you can play.

2009 Edwards AFB Open House

Just thought many would get pleasure to see it, also.

Enjoy.

Bank balance.

The man from Google says that with China Air most of this is possible, though he could not guarantee the stray paddock bit, but a side trip to a paddy field was often thrown in as a frequent flier award.:confused:

Brilliant conditions in the Senic Rim this afternoon,made gaining my passenger endorsmemt so much more enjoyable.

Well done mate, but don't expect to dream about hot chicks tonight, co's that probably won't happen. That can wait for another night.

".......thank goodness for that" thought Turbo "the old **** has missed the real story" and he set about lining up a suitable response to the embarrassing exposure of his secret life by Dettol.

Just don't use it neat, unless you disire to join the Irish dancers for a jig, replied Planey with his voice of experience,. unless you have the but still want to dance.

..... Planey with a bag full of .........

clothes as he's heading for the airport for his NT holiday:thumb_up:, but he could'nt help wondering, whether the tails that were being tugged, were those of the dapper-looking Ozzie, who looks likes he should be flying a Learjet, but not from where just any ordinary paddock will do.

Welcome aboard Rat Patrol, you'll have fun on here for sure, and probably become known as The Pied Piper.

Plastic shopping bags are not very strong. Was in a Warrier many years ago over the Blue Mountains, and a lady passenger had to resort to using one to spend a penny.

As it was leaking, the FI tried to put it through the small window vent to get rid of it, but it burst, and we all wound up smelling like The Gents at an ouback pub, amid uncontrollable laughter.

Wow! that was one powerful message, and if that does'nt make you think long and hard, nothing will.

Thanks for posting it Ian.

Kind Regards

Looks very nice indeed.I reckon I'd even try one of these on if I had the chance.

Why you're next to peer down the Locksmiths barrel, and i'll be following you.

For Gods sake----------------- don't miss.

I'm relying on you for Christs sake, don't let me down now.

Eat your loose-rivets comments out NOW!

The banana repellent deodorant suggestions, can come later.

Meanwhile, Goldylocks was in the Gentlemans Pist-all club, (or, was it the other way round) trying to improve his aim.

"It's high time I settled all this nonsense about mising rivets, smelling like a fermenting banana, and lack of ventilation in my beloved Sportstar",he retorted.

Practicing his lightning fast 180 degree turn after 6 paces, he was wondering who'd be first to offer themselves up, to settle the issues like an old-fashioned gentleman.

The Captain pulled-rank, and suggested Turbo go first, co's his name suggests he might be fast enough for the task, followed by Planey who's also given him more curry than the local Indywallah cookhouse.

Turpentine vs. Holy Water

A little boy was sitting on the footpath with a bottle of Turpentine..

He was shaking it up and watching all the bubbles.

A Priest came along and asked the little boy what he had.

The little boy said, 'This is the most powerful liquid in the world;

it's called Turpentine.'

The Priest said, 'No, the most powerful liquid in the world is Holy Water.

If you rub it on a pregnant woman's belly, she'll pass a healthy baby.'

The little boy replied, 'If you rub turpentine on a cat's ass, he'll beat a Lightning down the runway

Cessna 177

But then you'd have worried about the fact that it grows over a foot in length as the aircraft heats up at high speed, and the floor is covered with a series of plates, and if your saw any daylight through any of them, you'd be forced to tell someone, rather than just enjoy your flight.

No doubt about Turbo who'd been playing with his blow-off valve, (as as he frequently does, but hopefully not noticed) he's quick, and planey in his Morris Minor missed the cue.

The old BMC A series engines are not what quite up to the mark these days, like someone who shall remain nameless. Not good starters when cold, but ok if cranked by hand.

Raybans, why Raybans he thought? Some people just have too much money for their good. At Paddys markets, you could buy a dented Transit van full of the immitations, with a genuine "Sold in Australia" sign for half the price.

...... someone to reply so that I will look good, with .............

out having to worry about whether I bought the wrong deodorant.

 

Of course you did'nt Captain.

 

We know that the mighty Jabiru's come standard with a sunshade, unlike some Chech glasshouse products for the hairy armpit brigade, who have broken noses, and minimal ventilation provided only by the missing rivet holes :uhoh2:.

 

"Phew! that's a real relief" said the Golden One, who'd just re-emerged from behind the hangar.

Had'nt seen it advertised at all, till I read it on here. That'll certainly be a "must see".

I'll guess that the forums may quieten down a bit, while it's on.

Beautiful, it certainly was. However I agree with Yenn, The Comet was too.

I actually supplied the photoelectric smoke/fire detection system on the Concorde engine test-bed, which was set up at The Royal Aircraft Establishment at Farnborough.

When I first entered the building, you'd hardly know that an aeroplane was even in there, as it was set up amidst huge steel girders with exhaust ducts out the back of the Olympus engines which the went up vertically 70ft before turning back horizontally, then going out through the roof to minimise the noise.

Whether, or not, there was any truth in it I could'nt say, but the rumor around that time was, that Russian espionage was rife, and they were aware that they had all the original wing designs, and most of the rest of it.

The wing turned out to have have certain design flaws in it, BAC kept quiet, tightened security, and redesigned the wing. This it is claimed to be one of the main causes of the Russian TU144 crash at the Paris Air Show in 1973.

I got a freeby out to Bahrain in a Trident 3 when doing some work with BA, and went back to Heathrow on Concorde.

Half the passengers cheered and clapped :clap:as the Mach indicator in the cabin showed we'd passed Mach 1, and well-heeled looking gent across the isle cried out "Bravo" in true British style.

At 65,000ft the curvature of the earth is noticeable, and the sky seemed to be a deeper blue.

As much as I loved the things, the ear-splitting crackle as they roared down the runway on take-off certainly gave the environmentalists something to whinge about.

The service to Bahrain did'nt last too long because certain countries objected to sonic booms, etc. However, I still loved seeing them on a daily basis, fly almost over the top of my house in Wimbledon, back in those early days, and would always rush outside to see it. It had such a reccogniseable sound.

I could never understand why they had frosted glass windows in the toilets. Who the hells going to see anything, even if you "flash" at 65,000ft?.

My avitar shows a particulary nice one owned by a couple of forum members which I had a flight in last Sunday.

Good luck with building project, I reckon they are a little aircraft.

I was creased up with laughter, maybe i'll get an IRon too.

Would you believe that the guy having fun in his red hot rod will be flying a model aircraft display at this years event...he knows how to enjoy himself:big_grin:

Would I kid you:question:

"I wouldn't be at all surprised if he hadn't made a set of covers for his Jab seats out of them" he thought, but then had an idea which would stop the rat in his tracks.......

I'll duck around one dark night and sew the claws to his seat area. This should make him reconsider his judgement, as soon as he hits a bit of turbulence:laugh:

Well done John and Sue, it's great to hear of you both working succesfully as a team.

There'd be many guys on here John, that wished they had the support that you've got.

As you'd no doubt realise mate, thats very special.

Good luck, bet you can't wait to it airborne again.

Kind Regards
