flying dog

Ok, I'm confused. How I read the post was fhe crew must carry the licence or "electronic copy" So what does that mean? Can you carry a COPY or not?

Not for me. Only the other one of taking off through the trees.

And not one picture had me in it. :( Yeah, it was a great turn out. I was there for 6 days. Wed to Mon.

Sorry Phil. Bit sensitive just now. Bad situation gone worse just now for me.

Yen, Alas as it is becoming more and more obvious to recently, what you think and what may be two different things. May I ask what you would call a green orange?

Phil, I'm not getting into that. As stated on the show: facts have a half life. And they are only valid at that time and can be changed. I have very good experience on that first hand.

Who's been watching QI then?

Ok, the question stands: How many Germans does it take to change a light bulb? ? ? . ? ? . . . . . . . . ? ? ? . ? Answer: ONE! they are very efficient and not funny.

Well, hey, I am just showing you the screen I see. This "craft" shows up nearly daily and when I hear a chopper and want to see who it is. I have "seen" a Cess a flying past with no ID. It was the plane on the screen, so that supports my suspicion, but I am not in the city so can not exactly look out the window and verify what is there.

Oh and sorry for the spelling mistake in the title. It should have been CBD as I mentioned in the text. Just the stupid "auto correct" thought better.

Folks, Every now and then I hear a helicopter flying past, so I load flight tracker 24. Seems care flight is the only one who is identified. Strange that air ambulance isn't, pol air, or most others. But now and then as it is going past, I see another "craft" buzzing around the CBD. It too is unidentified. Anyone have any thoughts on what it would be? See attached.

And....... There is no Y in Manana.

It would seem there are people who are very fixed in what the see and hear. I am trying to look at the bigger picture and ask: WHY? and HOW? This happened. And what can be done to improve what is done for future times when things like this happen. Although unique and individual opinions and actions play a part, I am not looking to judge anyone. I am simply asking questions. As it has/is turning into a slanging match, I am now Un - subscribing from this thread.

Nev, I am not arguing with that. But! Speculating on the events: Ok, Solo XC. No problems. Departed ...... 09:00? He gets caught by the weather. No problems. "Diverts" to Khancoban. Ok, landing not the best. Time? 13:00? Now, in THIS time line that if FOUR HOURS later - very generous for times. He walks to the house and calls. What that would be about 14:00 at the latest?? 1 hour walk to the house? He calls. "Oops, got stuck....... " etc etc etc. WHY WAS THE RESCUE HELICOPTER BROUGHT INTO THE EQUATION? He had rung and was at a known location and the situation was told. There is a HUGE HOLE in the explanation of what happened and what happened there after and WHY.

Ok, ELB out. Mobile phone? The time line on the news seemed a bit ....... long. Ok, the landing, etc. No worries. (Nothing against the poster but:) The region's rescue helicopter was called in to help search for the boy, who was found just before 7:00pm What exactly does that statement mean? He was on a flight. XC? "We had a report of an aircraft overdue between Dalgety and Jindabyne just after 5:00pm," he said. His departure time would not have been that close to "EOD" (sunset/EndOfDaylight) So he got lost, landed etc. And it took until 19:00 (or "just before") before he was FOUND? He would have got to the house and called WAY BEFORE 17:00, so why was the helicopter called? Ok, maybe just the wording, but...... Is there a problem with THE SEQUENCE OF things happened after the landing?

Just wondering: Would that landing/situation warranted use of the ELB? Why would he have needed to walk to the house and used a mobile phone? Hey, just asking.

For my two cents worth, The whole process was flawed. Sure, he tried to start it many times and it didn't start. Get out, give it a squirt then get back in the seat and try again. Leaving it to a NON PILOT is dangerous. Some have speculated that maybe the throttle was used instead of the break..... who knows. But it wasn't the best decision made. At least he got to LEARN from it and share it, rather than being killed. Just my thoughts.

Maybe not 100% applicable, but some of the points fit in this thread: Number 5 is interesting reading. Number 10 Life is sexually transmitted. Number 9 Good health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die. Number 8 Men have two emotions: Hungry and Horny. If you see him without an erection, make him a sandwich . Number 7 Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day, teach a person to use the internet and they won ' t bother you for weeks. Number 6 Some people are like a Slinky. Not really good for anything, but you still can ' t help but smile when you shove them down the stairs. Number 5 Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing. Number 4 All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism. Number 3 Why does a slight tax increase cost you $200.00 and a substantial tax cut saves you $30.00? Number 2 In the 60 ' s, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal. And The Number 1 Thought For 2009: We know exactly where one cow with Mad-cow-disease is located among millions and millions of cows in America but we haven ' t got a clue where millions of illegal immigrants and terrorists are located. Maybe we should put the Department of Agriculture in charge of Immigration. Life is like a jar of Jalapeño peppers. What you do today, might Burn Your Ass Tomorrow"

Yeah, it is an offspring of TIGER AIRWAYS!

There is also the story of some English person who made a plane/glider and got his butler/man servant to fly in it down a hill.

Hey folks, Just came into the thread 9 pages in. It started with what was GOING to happen to what WILL NOW happen. Ok: Tangent: Ticketek are advertising "Topgear" on Oz soon. What's going to happen there? If Gezza isn't coming, will people be able to cancel their tickets because the show isn't as advertised?

Ah, you may be right Daz. However, I think if they could roll a 707 I am sure they could roll a 74. It is just they would possibly need a bit of time to get it right.

And who heard the cow as the Co Pilot? A few times you hear the moooo sound.
