    This person wasn't one of the people who wrote that part in "Flying high"? Roger, over, under etc..... Very good.
  2. flying dog
    I could send you heaps. Alas you are at YBTH. I'm not. I've got probably about ...... 200+ of airstrips around Oz. How can I get them to you other than e-mail? (editing starts here) Site suggestion: Keep a list of the airport names down the left of the screen and instaed of horizontal piccies of the airport, maybe make them vertical. Easier scrolling.
  3. flying dog
    Heard similar. Yeah, good one.
  4. flying dog
    OK, highjacking it a bit, but since you are using the "I-Phone" platform now, here is something to look at: http://www.flixxy.com/ipad-2-review.htm Oh, but I too have an Android phone.
  5. flying dog
    Thanks. That is it. I'm happy again. And can stop wondering where it was. :)
  6. flying dog
    Wow! http://www.flixxy.com/worlds-smallest-jet-plane-bd5.htm
  7. flying dog
    Yeah. That is funny. I just would like to remember where I saw that piccie I mentioned.
  8. flying dog
    Folks, I think I saw somewhere here a funny photo. A guy (airforce/army) standing under a Herc wind reaching up to the prop. Under the pic is the capson: (spelling?) "I'll never complaing about having to swing a two bladed prop again." Or something like that. Was that here or somewhere else?
  9. flying dog
    Sorry, bad title, but I can't think of what else to put there. Q: How do you know there is a jet pilot in the room? A: He will tell you.
  10. flying dog
    Yeah. I was watching the commercial busses landig at Sydney and their landing lights were alternating left/right.
  11. flying dog
    Keith, agreed. I have someone offering me accommodation at the uni. He has already got the deposit on the room. So THAT side is ok. It is just the details of where the plane lands, and the return trip. I hear some have a fixed return date, others don't. I have stayed with a family and their rate was quite good, but it has been a LONG time and getting in touch with them may not be easy. While there, I may want a rental car too, just to look around other things while in Oshkosh. For the sake of maybe helping anyone else could we discuss the differences here? I see that one of the listed prices - all inclusive-ish - is about $3800 AU. Not bad I guess. But it doesn't stipulate where you land, only options of Oshkosh or Appleton. No dates of return flights or when you get there. (Ok, maybe I missed it.)
  12. flying dog
    Oh, just on something semi-related: I don't want to simply go there see the show and come home. I would like to do something after/before the show - depending on if the plane flys into Oshkosh or not. If it does, it would be AFTER the show. If it doesn't, it doesn't matter when. I was wondering what else I could do/see while there. Seattle, Cape Kennedy, LasVegas...... Plane grave yard?
  13. flying dog
    Ok, I've seen the "new" Planes which have flashing landing lights. Supposedly to scare the birds. Question: Is that another setting or is it a different "function" of the Landinglights switch? As in: Are there: Off, On, Flashing. Or is it just OFF, ON. But the ON is either (depending on the plane) ON or flashing.
  14. flying dog
    I don't want to be a wet blanket, but there seems to be MANY people offering trips to Oshkosh. Shop around.
  15. flying dog
    So, Ok, I'll ask here only to make a fool of myself: Could someone please post here the date/s of Oshkosh this year? And maybe a link to find out more about the Oshkosh explorer. Please.
  16. flying dog
    Could it also be that the government is stopping Telstra from competing, and if "they" did do a large network for people which is/was better than the Optus's, IInet's etc.... That then those would be allowed to use the network Telstra made? The government are screwing EVERYONE because they are stopping open competition on a level playing field and telling the players what they can and can't do. Which is annoying considering the government are supposed to be there for the greater good of the people, not THEMSELVES.
  17. flying dog
    Ok, skipping to the end of the posts.... The "problem" is that most of society are now expecting/demanding wireless phone/mobile coverage everywhere. Alas probably half of these twits are also complaining about these antennas being next to the school where THEIR kids go. Put them next to schools where our kids are NOT attending. The old NIMBY attitude.
  18. flying dog
    They aren't that expensive either.
  19. flying dog
    I would really like to go again. It has been so long. And with the dollar how it is, it would be terriffic. But don't want to make promises I can't keep.
  20. flying dog
    Would you (and your instructor) mind trying this: http://www.recreationalflying.com/downloads/showentry.php?e=7&catid=4 You will need EXCEL.
  21. flying dog
    Thanks. No, the account details were there and I pressed menu / refresh. It said the emails would show up soon. Alas that was as far as it went. In the memory section the phone said I had 7meg left on the phone. I un-installed a 5 meg app and... Suddenly things worked. I am really going to have to update to 2.2 so I can put the apps on the SD card.
  22. flying dog
    Hi folks, This time I am really stuck. HTC desire 2.1 I switch on the 3G and it is connected. I then go to the GMAIL icon/widget and click. "Your email will appear shortly." Yeah, right. It doesn't. I can't delete the account as the phone says other apps need it. Strange how that works, but anyway. When I go into settings/Accounts & sync/google I get an error on the Sync contacts. There is a little error message at the bottom of the screen: Sync is currently experincing problmes. It will be back shortly. Now, something to mention: I was in the applications/manage applications and was going through clearing the caches/data stuff. I accidently cleared both GMAIL and GMAIL STORAGE. But looking at them both now they are 16.00KB and 48.00KB It is a bit annoying not having e-mail on the phone. Can someone please help me?
  23. flying dog
    I found this app. Yeah, it will probably chew up your allocated bandwidth as it is internet needing. http://www.appbrain.com/app/flightradar24-free/com.flightradar24free But it works quite well in/for Sydney.
  24. flying dog
    I was talking to someone who said that in the old analogue days, they had full coverage all the way over Bass Straight.

    David, "Obviously every continent will want its own Datum for the same local purposes." Isn't that what I said in my example?
