  1. .....leather jacket when he reeled back in horror, much like a CASA ramp checker after Turbo opens the throttle .......... For purposes of authenticity, could Cappy confirm that the aircraft was built before S/N 00000000000046356476597, and had the cross piped that used to go from the No1 engine to No2 then through the fuselage under the Flight Attendents' jump seats to 3 and 4 and burn their
  2. No + compression ratio to be considered. Make an interesting sound when they blow in street racing, but there the occupants can step out and push it off the road.
  3. ........with the sound of a Qantas-London takeoff..................
  4. ..no one would be interested in that lot. The show was canned, but that left a hole to fill. Onesie, always lurking and a dangerous character when it came to gossiping got onto a building story about the Epstein saga, today's new being Whoopie Goldberg. Onesie watched the camera panning and recognised Cappy sitting there in a white suit. The chair was covered in gold material, and Cappy looked like Royalty. Whoopie walked over to him and sat on his knee. Onesy quietly slid his phone out and started recording. Those who know Cappy know he can be corny at times and as Whoopie slid onto he lap he said "My little Whoopie cushion". Whoopie fired up and let one go; Cappy reeled back in disbelief; the cameras, and Onesie, had caught it. Just as Whoopie moved in for a second blast.......
  5. What was the ATIS saying? If that was normal, it can get quiet based on the law of averages; Just as I've thought the radio was out a few times three people in a row will talk.
  6. Did you call inbound in Mandarin?
  7. .........went on a rampage complaining to the studio that there should be an equal number of female monsters on the set and ..........
  8. Russian version of Jason "Bourne Nyet Loxette." The film is set in the remote tundra not far from Alaska, where Turbo is also the body double for Jase, and has to tramp through deep snow bare-chested with a pack of hungry wolves snarling and waiting for the opportunity to kill him and eat him. Things were a little rough yesterday when in Take 17 the Wolves had stopped fighting when Lara Smolnek's cat flashed across the "trail" which had been built over the bitumen of Sveltasky Street. Everyone fell about laughing until the cat zagged back onto the trail and there was a pile of actors, wolves, director and key grips...............

  10. .......did it, and who else can say that!? There were two other guys hanging out in WF a few years ago, and they nearly pulled off a flight under the bridge in Aerochutes, but there were two chicks sunbaking on the beach below with nothing on the clock and they didn't see the Container ship. They gave their aircraft full throttle but both got tangled up in the overhead cranes. We never heard from them again, but ..........
  11. ......fear that one day his exceptional skills and instincts may be called upon by CASA itself. Turbo reassures the wider population of WF that this unlikely after CASA FoI "Pinky" caught him flying the Challenger under Westgate Bridge and didn't accept his apology and explanation that it was only because he was reading the early edition of The Age which had a story about .....................
  12. .....detective badge. He knew Penny liked to be arrested, so he just gave her a warning and she nearly scratched his eyes out, but the Ray Bans come in handy for those moments, and he was able to ......................
  13. Great things were going to happen on the sidelines after that event, but it all seems to have fizzled out.
  14. .....stints he did supporting the CWA ladies at the local Shows, where he often had to "stand in" at the Boxing tent if the locals squibbed it. Turbo "volunteered" one day after lunch in the "President's Lounge"at the Grongy Show. The Cockies were all too embarrassed to step up, and Turbo,on the way to the Cat pavilion expecting to see a ribbon around Smoky's neck, was too embarrased to say no. The bell rang for Round 1 and Albo started skipping around the ring. As fast as Turbo ran, he couldn't catch Albo, until CWA member Kath Woodridge tripped him up. As Albo fell to his knees, Turbo fell over him and won by a ..............
  15. Well we'll know all that from the ATSB report. We're not talking about a Thruster or Jabiru here; we're not even talking about a Cessna 172 or Cherokee Warrior. I've done some flying in a 210 and even when you're in the circuit it need a lot more attention to detail for the higher workload, there's a lot more power which quickly changes one event to another. As I mentioned, there will be an ATSB report and it might show something entirely different to pilot skills - like a structural failure.
  16. Yes, favourite trick of CFIs just as a group was leaving with the tents, beer and rifles.
  17. Given spins are prohibited in recreational aviation, maximum turn is 60 degrees, where are you trying to go with this?
  18. ....a little iguanaish - tongues that are not poked out are usually wagging and .........
  19. com. fashion.com is a company started by Capp and bull (in his lower case days.) They never told anyone about it. It was on the ground floor of a two story Industrial Building. There never seemed to be many women coming to the showroom, but outside the building there were usually two dozen Mustangs, BMWs, Benzs and Audis. The lights on the top floor were on 24 hours a day. People in the game would know this as a CIA site, as innocent as it might look. It was typical of the CIA to have a printing shop below, and they would use it to produce fake passports and Formula 1 3 day passes, or they might have a meatworks. Turbine Undercover would install cameras around the area and this was so sensitive that Turbo was required to do this himself. No one ever picked him in the tradey fluro, false beard and shorts, even with the white legs. Located on the outskirts of Canberra, this location was humming ................

  21. ........four of them advanced on Cappy, who smiled and ........... Turbo in the nicest possible way, and mindful of Een's edict about calling fellow members XXXXX, respectfully reminds him that we don't refer to "black ice" these days, "it's African American ice."
  22. The first, VN Commodore was released with an engine that Buick didn't want any more, so the tooling was available cheap. GM Melbourne engineers spun the engine in reverse to the Buick, and got reliability and 125 kW. The later Holden Alloytec (ecotec) V6 was a joint design by GM Australia and US, for the Australian and Canadian markets at 152 kW. The Isuzu Jackaroo sold by Holden had a V6 at 171 kW.
