  1. However, I bet they paid a lot more than a $99 fare to Melbourne.
  2. IF AWARE?, thats always helpfull. Sadly that seems to have been overlooked for whatever reason.
  3. Well, that's a blow for some!
  4. Much the same at Bankstown. Privatisation is only a wonderful thing for some.
  5. Take care spacey. Love reading you're posts. Wishing you good luck with all you'd like to still achieve. Rgds planey
  6. Amazing model and flying skills in such a confined flying area.
  7. Could it be classed as a power-assisted sail boat with a horizontal sail. Anything to keep the authorities happy.
  8. Thats not looking good judging by 2nd photo.
  9. Ouch! I guess someone is now looking for a new job. Can't imagine what the cost would be for repairs and it being out of service.
  10. Maybe this is the answer to some of your problems!
  11. Great progress! but I have to ask, Do you ever stop for sleep?
  12. A lady friend who was in the backseat of a Piper Warrier and got cut short, used a shopping bag and tried to push it out of the small vent hole while flying over the Blue Mountains. Thank god I wasn't in the back. It wasn't too successful and showers hadn't been forcast.
  13. Love it! but it's probably lacking a bit in the ground effect department.
  14. The mans a machine for sure.
  15. When I stated in earlier post that at Bankstown a warehouse was almost long enough for a new runway onits roof, I was not kidding. Just about every other space is filling fast with commercial buildings.
  16. Thank you for what you are doing to endevour to make others aware. If no one does anything, thats what we wind up with, nothing, other than financial gains for the corporate interests. It's certainly an uphill battle.
  17. The size of one particular wharehouse Beijer Ref in the s/w corner looks almost big enough to have a new runway built on it's roof. What a crying shame from how things used to be. New structures going up everywhere.
  18. Hi JG3, not sure if it's of interest or still available, but came across this online. Rgds planey https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/sarina/miscellaneous-goods/single-seat-ultralight-aircraft/1311641372
  19. Another blast from the past to really look forward to.
  20. Dave and Jim were a couple of drinking buddies who worked as aircraft mechanics in Heathrow Airport One day the airport was fogged in and they were stuck in the hangar with nothing to do. Dave said, 'Man, I wish we had something to drink!' Jim says, 'Me too. I've heard you can drink jet fuel and get a buzz. You wanna try it?' So they pour themselves a couple of glasses of high octane booze and get completely smashed. The next morning Dave wakes up and is surprised at how good he feels. In fact he feels GREAT! NO hangover! NO bad side effects. Nothing! Then the phone rings. It's Jim. Jim says, 'Hey, how do you feel this morning?' Dave says, 'I feel great, how about you?' Jim says, 'I feel great, too. You don't have a hangover?' Dave says, 'No that jet fuel is great stuff -- no hangover, nothing. We ought to do this more often..' ' Yeah, well there's just one thing.' 'What's that?' 'Have you farted yet?' 'No.' 'Well, DON'T - cause I'm in Athens '

  21. Music to the ears!
  22. I agree Nev. Maybe good to attract a few initial customers, but certainly not a sustainable fare if you want to stay in business.
