    Ian, that is so well said:thumb up:. Thanks mate to both you and the family for providing this wonderful site which just so many of us really appreciate. Likewise, to the moderators and others who also work in the background. Well done guys, there's no other site that I'm aware of,.that displays such advice, diversified comment and love for others with the same interest as we all have. You are all champions in my mind. Yee ha! Merry Christmas to all. Kind Regards Planey.

    One can only hope that anyone else who operates in this manner, learns from this sad event.

    Pretty noisy old donk. You could hear one coming a great distance away because of it's distinctive sound. (For overseas readers, donk is an Aussie slang term meaning donkey. i.e. engine which does all the hard work)

    Welcome to the forums cloudwatcher 89. It's good to have you aboard. Birds are fascinating creatures, some more so than others. Personally, I just love watching pelicans in flight, especially when they are in ground effect and seem to glide forever over the water. In my next life I want to come back as one, because I love flying and a fresh fish diet. When on a cruise hundreds of miles from land, I get a real buzz seeing a wandering albatross so far from what i'd consider home, simply flying effortlesly just above the waves day after day. We still have a lot to learn from them.

    If you practice listening to those annoying party-political broadcasts that keep popping up on the radio, written and spoken byxjsdcsdf,dfsgkv fk from the asrffdrerff vmf Party. Once you understand what they are saying, you'll have no problems at all.

    Sadly missed by so many.

    Love the look of your Sierra Graham. Great looking aircraft!. Flown 40hrs maybe, but how many hours have you just stood and admired it? that deserves a good few hours also. Kind Rgds. Planey

    Welcome Marty. With what I know of the weather up your way this time of year, you must either be an early riser to enjoy the smother air, or, you have a strong stomach.

    , So I'd guess you have started at Albion Park or Jaspers Brush. Tell us more.

    Did someone mention that Aus is now over-regulated?. There's always at least two sides to story, but it seems that is the way we are heading.

    So You never tried Fullers ESB (extra strong beer). I only tried it once, and after 2 pints over lunch managed (but don't know how), to get to a mates place, where his wife plied me with coffee for a few hours to sober me up. At the time I was entertaining an Aussie mate who claimed that all Pommie beer was P**s weak. Never again, but it was a learning experience. which they can stick where the sun don't shine as some say.

    Fortunately, no-one has come undone because of his actions. Otherwise the outcome may take on a totally different perspective.

    A normal cruise breakfast enjoyed by many, after the smoked salmon, cereals, and prune juice that helps create a bit of space for the fresh Danish pastries that follow.

    I knew a couple of pilots who usually took a "Pilot-Bear" along with them. I have one too, but it's so old, the poor buggars goggles are falling apart and his not much of a help.

    to our forums from across the ditch. Not sure about the Sierra, but know a guy who built a Cheetah and flew it a lot. There's sure to be someone here who can give you more info. Gary Morgan seems to have his heart and soul in his products, so I doubt whether you'd be disappointed in any of his offerings.

    Think I might have heard a few of those calls myself in the distant past. Mudgee was a popular place to go for a quick fly-away, apart from the Rothbury Estate strip in the Hunter, with a few over-priced bottles rattling in the rear seats on touchdown.

    Other than 5 minutes of fame, it was hardly worth the exercise. He whinged that it was cold when delivered. Surprise, Surprise!

    Never mind, the weddings normally the cheap bit if it doesn't work out.

    You sound to me like Garry who used to serve me at the Shell servo in Baulko to earn a bit of extra money while going for your commercial? If so, this is Eric's dad Alan. Thought you were in Tamworth.

    Well done Bruce, so happy for you mate. Bet I know what you'll be dreaming about tonight. "Hang on honey, I've gotta land this thing, wait until tomorrow" By the way, your bird looks great, so you must be proud of all the effort you put into building it, and so you should. Kind Regards Planey
