    so ideally the Cessna should've been at 2500 feet AMSL when over flying the oaks. Does the flight track mentioned above give altitude of the Cessna? That seems to be a very interesting part of the puzzle.

    interesting observations from what I've heard: If the jabiru had only just taken off how is such a large flight track shown on the history from the flight tracker? Why was the Cessna flying so low if going to Wollongong. They should have been at least 1500 AGL when flying over the oaks. It would be interesting to see if both aircraft radios were on the oaks frequency or on Sydney radar frequency. If they were not both on the same frequency, then neither would have known of the other plane in the vicinity.

    So I wonder where it (The vampire) landed?

    Saw it on the news. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2024/sep/16/qantas-flight-qf71-perth-airport-damage-repairs And on youtube Ooops! I think someone will need to explain why this happened.

    I started to watch that. It looked good and good on the guy who is trying to do it. But he babbles on and on and on and repeats himself so many times, it is painful to watch.

    Ah. Yeah, but when I saw it, it was like at 3000 feet and climbing.

    I was walking and heard it taking off. Looked up. Yeah, Jumbo. Cathay Pacific. CPA 3128 As I was looking I noticed it did NOT have the turn ups at the wing tips. So it is/was a CLASSIC. Wow!

    So it would seem that since 1988.... ? When I did my BAK, things have changed. Ok. So why weren't those links posted originally in the replies? Yes, but (unless they have two time zones in that area) I will get ONE answer. Not "It depends" as I was given in the original replies. And also: The Arctic. What's it's timezone rules?

    😞 If I am in Sydney and ask "What time is it in WA I can get a pretty well understood simple answer. If I ask what time is it in Germany, France, Fiji, Egypt, Chad (and so on) I get a KNOWN answer. So if I ask "What time is it in the Arctic", what: It depends? C'mon.... I think it was when I was doing my BAK and time zones were mentioned. Antarctic (all of it) is ZULU. So yes, I am drawing a long bow with the question, but..... How far from the south pole does this rule extend? Just the area to where the ice ends? Or to a specific latitude? And so then I draw another longbow and ask if it is the same for the north pole. And as that is connected to countries, is it different that once you enter a country, the time changes to that country's time? I thought you lot - being aviators - would already understand that part and it wouldn't need explaining. But - as usual - I was wrong.

    Antarctica is pretty easy to work out. But the Arctic. Where/when does it go from GMT/Zulu time to local times? Country borders? WRT the south pole: When does it go from Zulu to local time zones?
  15. flying dog
    Ah. Ok. Sorry. It is hard to remember all the details of all the ACI episodes. 😉 Back to this though: Yes it will be interesting to see what is shared with everyone to what happened.

    Ok, kinda off topic, but that's like the JAL 747 combi....... It did a tail strike and it was "fixed".... Several years later while flying the read pressure plate failed and the whole of the back of the plane fell off. The accident was put down to the original problem caused it to fail in flight.
  17. flying dog
    Since found a clip on ewetube.
  18. flying dog
    Fair enough to not speculate. But something definitely went wrong.
  19. flying dog
    Wow, the clip on the news was horrific! The plane scraping it's backside down the runway for a long time and TOOK OFF!!! I think there was a serious problem with their static trim or weight and balance sheet. Sorry can't give more details.

    Ok, it is 40 years old, but it is funny.

    Aircrash investigation Season 7 Episode 3 Best of my knowledge. On 8 September 1989, Partnair Flight 394 loses control, breaks up in mid-air, and crashes into the North Sea, killing all 55 people on board. The aircraft's vertical stabilizer had vibrated loose during flight due to excessive wear on sub-standard bolts, sleeves, and pins that had been illegally sold as "aircraft-grade."

    Ok, thanks. There was an "AirCrash Investigation" (Early one from memory) about a small plane flying somewhere in Europe (Norway maybe) and they were flying over water. The plane wasn't supposed to be allowed to do it, but the flight crew turned on the APU as a "third engine" - not exactly the claim, but for simplicity - alas halfway over the water the vibration from the APU destroyed the vertical stab' and the plane went down.
  23. flying dog
    Well, sorry, since it has kinda come up. I seem to remember that "in the early days" jets that flew over water - for any substantial distance had to have THREE engines. There was that accident with a two engine jet that flew over water and kept their APU running. Alas they crashed and burnt because something happened to the APU and it disintegrated, and took the rest of the plane with it. So as a result - like with the 707 - the 300 (being the first of their fleet) was a 4 engine to get around that. I'm not sure the full story with why 3 engine planes weren't as popular, but if airbus were going for WIDE BODY: Three engine may not have been enough. But - alas - I am wrong. But could/would you elaborate on that bit about the flying over water minimum requirement to the best of your understanding?

    His channel is pretty good. I've watched a few/lots of them.

    Ok. Thanks. I was wrong. As usual. 😉
