Pass me the situations vacant section someone.

First flights could possibly go somthing like this.

After initial take off and passengers settling in, an announcement over the PA system states

"Ladies and Gentleman, welcome aboard the inaugural autonomous rocket assisted flight service betwen Heathrow and New York.

Our flying time today is expected to be just over 1 1/2hrs duration.

Such are the advancements in aviation,that everthing is fully automatc, therefore not necessitating the need of a pilot on this aircraft

As you settle back and enjoy your flight, you can rest assured that all systems have been rigorously tested, retested and tested again to ensure that there's not the slightest chance that anything can Go Wrong! Go Wrong! Go Wrong!

However, I bet they paid a lot more than a $99 fare to Melbourne.

IF AWARE?, thats always helpfull.

Sadly that seems to have been overlooked for whatever reason.

Well, that's a blow for some!

Much the same at Bankstown. Privatisation is only a wonderful thing for some.

Take care spacey. Love reading you're posts. Wishing you good luck with all you'd like to still achieve.

Amazing model and flying skills in such a confined flying area.

That's what I was thinking

Could it be classed as a power-assisted sail boat with a horizontal sail. Anything to keep the authorities happy.

So sad. RIP Merve

Thats not looking good judging by 2nd photo.

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. 

Maybe this is the answer to some of your problems!

Great progress! but I have to ask, Do you ever stop for sleep?

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.

Love it! but it's probably lacking a bit in the ground effect department.

The mans a machine for sure.

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.

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.

They are trying to do exactly what is being done at Bankstown. Turning what land isn't absolutely essential for the operation of aircraft into warehousing. I'll take a few pictures of Bankstown this week to let you see what is going on.

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.

Another blast from the past to really look forward to.
