    Check out this website, to follow the solar powered aircraft. The server is often not available - could be getting too many connection requests. http://www.solarimpulse.com/widget-rtw_wrapup

    B in morse code is _... (three dits, not four). Any other mistakes? One second to spot because I use morse being a Ham Radio Nerd. (VK5KKS)

    Pathetic as it is I hate the way people use hanger instead of hangar. I will admit, I am a spelling/grammar nazi.

    Wow! Come along way in the last thirty years. I remember when you zoomed past the line with a magnifying glass. That took a lot of skill. Seriously though, what is it the equipment is actually looking for?

    On a commercial flight, in a small commuter turbo prop, I asked why such a crap landing and the pilot said "We ran out of aileron". There was a pretty strong wind blowing.

    Well paste my ears in jam and tie me to an ants nest, we mentioned the DC3 at McDonalds a few posts back and this turns up on the trashy news.com.au website... http://www.news.com.au/national/south-australia/mcdonalds-c-47-party-plane-at-west-lakes-being-restored-to-its-original-glory/story-fnii5yv4-1227237683501

    If it was Global Hawk, we probably landed it. They usually hand over the reins when the thing is in our airspace.

    Turn it into a McDonalds like they did with a DC3 here in Adelaide many years ago.

    Well, I could make a comment here but I won't. Now, was that a comment, near comment or what. As for the air show, nice to know fellow aviators are still around to tell their story.

    Sound like ham radio nerds - we like our callsigns based on things like our names etc. KEV (For Kevin) was taken as was KPT (my initials). You could always go for BUM, POO, WEE etc. Good for a laugh.

    Well, if I were a cop and in the area, I'd go have a look because it would be something different from the usual junkies, dickheads and nutters.

    If he was on one-three, that runway leaves few options for a safe landing if the engine quits (as does zero-five).

    Two events - one plane makes emergency landing after its rudder became jammed, then another plane crashes and burns at the end of the runway. Happy nobody has been seriously hurt.

    What?

    If this is another pilot choosing to fly in poor conditions, it's another nail in the coffin for recreational aviation.
  16. Jabiru7252
    Good grief!!! Not the sort of strip I'd be flying in and out of by choice.

    I watched it and was disappointed, I used to know an old guy that was there when that happened. Trouble is, as he got older I got the same story over and over, but the first time around, all his war stories were great. He didn't like the yanks though, said they were up themselves and trouble makers.

    What did you do it in? Did you use just the compass or did you have a directional Gyro or GPS? Always exciting regardless.

    I wish my Jab J170 would slow down like a Foxbat!

    It's a pity that the Evans Head website excludes so many people because they choose not to be members of Facebook.

    My Asus tablet runs Android version 4.0.3 (Icecream Sandwich) and thus can't handle Oz-Runways. I cannot upgrade the tablet either! However, I enjoy the map and compass navigation with my simple car GPS as a backup. cheers and beers....

    Old guys are guys that don't trust a fart, know what a valve radio is, got paid in cash and had their last drink a 6pm.

    Oh dear, again this forum has degenerated into mud slinging by the ignorant and nasty amongst us...

    Well, it's been awful here. I fly out of Gawler, SA and the only activity has been water bombers, about eight in the air continuously landing, taking on 3000 litres of water and then dumping it on the fires. Spectacular but so sad as well. Quite a crowd had gathered to watch the activities. I might manage to get into the air this weekend.

    I heard of one instance where three or four engine failures belonged to the same airplane owner who dicks around with his (or her!) plane like it was a go-kart or something. Then has the audacity to rubbish Jabiru engines. Long sigh....
