  2. .........marketing on the distinctly different "Generations".

    Turbo found The Greatest Generation the most difficult to maket to, and of course Generation X couldn't spell their own names let alone their Generation, and Gen Alpha tended to be whizzes on coding and prone to statements like "What was it like in the REALLY olden days like 1996", so he drew on the Vegas "Wedding Chapel" concept where the chapels were all down in the old section of the strip where the tourists didn't dare to go unless in groups of two or more. However, you could phone Liberace, Elvis, or Wayne Newton and they'd come and pick you up, take you to the Chapel, and drop you back at the thousand bed Circus Circus Hotel and Casino.

    Turbo's research showed that most people got married except the Millenials, so he focused  his marketing programme on most people drinking pineapple juice and left the fruit for the Millenials.

    Soon everyone was consuming pineapples, and those who didn't soon got to know the convoy of black Pineapple Chevy Suburbans where men in black would grabe you when you were watering your font garden, (which for millenials usually meant relieving themselves on a four square metre artificial grass strip), and take you to "The Pineapple Factory where they would ....................

  3. ....waggery practitioner, these days better known as a comedian.

    On this particular day the Caddy wouldn't start and after the battery gave up Turbo suggested a starting method used by crop dusters, where they would a rope several times around the prop hub, and hooked onto it with a 4WD. bull had never done it before so was a bit hesitant, but CT backed up his shiny new steel grey Chevrolet Silverado with the Cummins engine that made pulling stumps a breeze. He took up the slack, bull yelled "contact" and .....................

    it would need alot of jerry cans.  

     

    according to a 1968 PA32-260 POH I have :, and assuming it is a CS prop , 

    at 3400 gross, it needs 1240'  over 50'

    at 2900 gross it needs 1020' over 50'

    remove the seats and it is 1661 lbs empty. add 2 hours of fuel , and a pilot its likely to be 1950 lbs

    extrapolating the above, it might get off in 750' to 50 '  ?

    but that's on bitumen .  not grass !


    Wow it must have some super performance with 260 hp and 1661 empty .

     

    There's a PA32-300 model which was popular for the Melbourne- Port Augusta- Coober Pedy- Ayers Rock-Alic Springs-Darwin- Gove-Whitsundays-Melbourne with six pilots.

    This narrative can simply not be true. I was at the trail today and this story came straight from the mouth of an onlooker who claimed “it would’ve been an easy landing”… I disagree. No engine failure is easy. 
     

    The news report discredited the story from the moment it displayed footage of the fuel tanks being drained. I’m not sure what they could be draining if there was no fuel? (See image below from channel 9). The news reporter said that they really didn’t have much information so have obviously chosen to use what they had. They have quite clearly spun this way out of context, clearly not with any general aviation knowledge themselves.
     

    The Pilot has done an amazing job, and executed his training well. 

    14FC88CC-FA66-46AD-BB23-CAFF86EF6C12.jpeg

    Did they drain the tanks or did they put fuel in them. Channel 9 footage last night showed the engine started and running like a Cherokee 6 with those red jerry cans sitting where they are.

  6. ...."The Peachcoloured Pimpernel"/

    Turbo had found out about the history of the GT500 when he recovered an urgent flash signal from Langley where the above photo had been picked up shortly after it had been posted.

     

    bull was wanted by the FBI and CIA for for smuggling  illegal tennis players into Mexico, and when it was discovered some of them smoked, and had been associated with CT, the Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms honcos had joined the chase.

     

    Don't tell anyone this, NES readers, because we don't want to get bull into any more strife like having his fingernails pulled out, but it's obvious from the above photo that a tennis player or two are already in the back of that GT, because as much as the bulky, muscular figure of bull is seen trying to hold the front end down, the nosewheel is high in the air, and .......................

    Turbo realised this may be a solutionfor what happened to him, so he sent an order in to  see what he would get. An immedoate Notice came back "Package sent" more features on upmarket model which have feeling............................he didn't wait and had placed his order  and got back to working before the "Credit limit exceeded message flashed up. He was shocked...............

    Turbo used his "FingerPrinter" app which whirred away for 6 days and the reported:

     

    CLASSIFIED: CC LANG

    UNSUB: WANK

    LOCATION: XIAN, CHINA

    COMPANY: INLAND HAPPY SPY CO

    PRODUCTS: MIG FLIGHTER AIRCLAFTS

     

    So he or she was employed by an aircraft builder, and it was likely the plans for the Electric Drifter could be copied, so it's important that readers of the NES do not talking to people about the ED, because before long there will be cheap clones will start 3 times then refuse to even look like starting, or the prop hub will fall off and the shaft will be an odd size which no available hubs match, or .........................

    Times have changed. Remember working in Timor 2007/08 watching Aussie Army recovery crew retrieving a Landcruiser been totally submerged in fresh water river for a few days. Winched out and fully operational again two days later. No electronics in that truck…

    I went to an Army briefing in Townsville where they were calling tenders for new Ground Equipment which they use today.

     

    They said they'd finally had to scrap all the landrovers landed by driving in the sea at Timor, so one of the conditons was new vehicles have to be sea water resistant to allow barge landings.

     

  10. ......Mount Desperation downwind, wrong way round and uphill over the moguls.  This was discussed at length on the WF forum with over half the posters claiming the crash was caused by a weak nosewheel strut because everyone knows they are a probem.
