  1. You would need to have read the details of the original cause and I'm not going back 15 years, but there was video this week in Ukraine of a tiny electric drone like we play with coming up to a guy who's just arrived and has a stall set up in the street. He sees it and ducks around the back of his vehicle. The operator, through the drone' camera chases him round, he dodges backthe drone follows him, he dives behind the vehicle and the drone zips up behind him and the operaator fires the explosive. The stall holder was seriously wounded; if he had just stood there, he would be dead.
  2. I think we've been talking about this for about 15 years. The position is that if you want to own, park and fly a potential weapon, then the taxpayer shouldn't have to pay.
  3. It's unrelated to CASA,different organization for a different purpose, and not something they would want discussed around the industry.

  6. And NES readers this is the problem with recreational flying today. People have been so focused on not following any rules that their subconscious these days has been psychologically conditioned to be fearful of making a normal post, that it's started to infiltrate the memory of perfectly legal (but rough) aircraft like Thrusters and Drifters and start to view them as Cessnas like the general public does. So much so that Turbo is thinking of introducing "This is your Aircraft (using the term "aircraft" deliberately instead of the Biggles "kite".) .......back up."

The big bruiser who did a put down of Turbo often, starting his sentences with "I tort meself to fly.......and going on with the sort of talk you'd hear after a duck shoot, would look at the ASIC card with a faraway look in his eye, then pass it on knowing he'd never be able to afford one, the life of the party, who often came dressed as someone else, who kept his tucked into the band on his hat would tell of the night he took off in the Thruster and forgot to take his hat off, and ............
  8. Turbo, can appreciate Cappy's difficulty in obtaining correct details of Turbo who subscribes to "Beat the XXXXXXX!" He had a siimilar problem when entering "Captain Cook VIII" - the results were unmentionable and show why he has to change countries every couple of years.
  9. No point in coming up with a scenario then applying it - the straw man argument. It seems that the whiners have forgotten or never knew what this was based on and AusCheck are not going to give out any hints.

Auscheck had noticed some whining about having to carry an ASIC card coming from some social media platforms and bogs. They had approached Turbo asking him to do something about it. Turbo asked what amount of force could be used. "You decide" said the AusCheck chief, a former prison Governor. And so,Turbo went to work. As you would expect, a poke in the nuts with that big sword madean immediate change in attitude, and ASIC cards soon appeared on every lapel..........................

This most unusual aircraft my not appear to be flyable with Captain Cook's components, but not many people know that NHVR recently caught a Freightliner with the speed limiter "altered" The driver had been about to drink a cup of coffee and was so hot he let go, and it bounced into the speed limiter. The NHVR operative didn't accept that explanation, aand pulled out he Swiss Army knife and found the speed limiter set to 251 km/hr. Turbo calculated the power demand at that speed at 8,353 kiloWatts, but the operative wouldn't budge and the poor driver was headed for ..............................

Inevitably the Officer would say "Him again" and Turbo would be grounded for the Friday night dance. Cappy would tell everyone at the dance and make a hero of himself, but then came the Friday night and he'd yell Turbo's name but Turbo was locked up and the poms.......................

  20. The avid readers of the NES will be interested to know Turbo broke this news on his blog TURBINE TALES!. NESSERS are asked not to tell any one but Farmer wants a Floozy made the mistake of filming at the Cowra BNS and we know what the COWRA ball is like don't we. In fact they did away with the Orchestra completely this year because no one listened to the last three. People will recall Turbo wrote about going to Cowra a few weeks ago; well really it was for protection of the caste; Cappy was there in a St Kilda football outfit, Turbo went as a Papuan Warrior, carrying a Message Stick (which was big enough to give anyone the message.) The TFWAF camera crew set up, and the contestants arrived by limo and exited arm in arm. It was good TV for the first few minutes, then a group of wheat cockies from Murringo grabbed the chicks and started to show them what REAL farmers were like - this was all on film. The TWAF farmers, who'd been selected from the Gold Coast (and you know what that means) ran for the Hummers and the TWAF filming fell into chaos. Almost naturally, as if he haad been doing it all his life, Captain Cook VIII. took over as Director, and asked Turbo to be Key Grip. They turned the cameras on the real farmers, and pulled no shots. The Network realised they had a Gold Logie in their hands and the rest is history.
  21. ......audience burst into tears. Cappy sang excactly on key, exactly on tempo, exactly the right about of vibrato, and that's all Turbo had to say about that. Cappy made it into rthe cut, but now he had to cut his Hair, cut his nose hair, wash himself, and put on TV makeup, abd he had to do that every week. The Bayliss Street Latte joints hung on his every word, and people whispered he sounded very much like an up market Johnny Farnham. People in the street stopped him and aske if they could get a selfie, he was a STAR! Then the WAGGA WAGGA Morning Herald came out........................

Not many people know that Cappy applied to take part in an episode of "The Voice" once. (He has a beautiful baritone, albeit with a pommy accent). He got into the final group for the cut. The group had to sing in front of Delta Goodrem who was to choose the contestants. You wouldn't believe it but Caappy chose the song..............
