  1. 1. I pointed out that what you want - "to vigorously represent" its (RAA Ltd's) membership is not the purpose of a Limited Company. 2. You asked "What's the point of RAA [Ltd]?" I should have said "RAA Ltd was a huge mistake." which I said many times back when members wanted to change "because we are not a cricket club" or the famous "no point in having a dog and barking yourself." An Incorporated Association is what you are looking for. If others feel the same, then change RAA back to its roots as an Incorporated Association.
  2. ......Contract with a Hollywood Stunt Agency, and was called to Hollywood. We neglected to tell NES readers what Aircraft CHUCK flew; it was a MK VIIIa-3 series. There were only three left in Australia (oops, make that two; one went down last night). They had a highlift wing and would lift off within a couple of metres. The Agency phoned with a multi-million dollar 5 deal. He was to play a CIA operative during the Vietnam War fkying in to Cambodia, shooting up a Commando Training camp and bring back 3 cases of beer and stuff. Problem was Drifters had been banned from Freight aircraft after 375 claims for damage; the only way he could get it over was deck cargo on a ship. The second day a slight headwind blew up................................
  3. The point of an Incorporated Association is to be driven by its members and react to things that matter to them.
  4. You're right that little of the above is being done. That's not the purpose of a Limited Company.

  6. Turbo heard they can't control it because it keeps on dropping every time is sees a crop. Turbo had a sheep dog like that. Every time it saw a fox, it shot after the fox and let the sheep out .Turbo decided to shoot it, because you can't have that at a farm. Just as he was about to pull the trigger a fox ran past.
  7. ......the famous "Wine Glass Episode". Chuck, as we all know was famous for cutting the power in his Aero-Commander, doing a loop, a wingover and an Immelmann and landing in a tree. He insisted his students..................

  9. ......splitting their sides watching the 130 cc CT9000 Mk IV trying to take off on grass. Despite all the laws of physics they always made it into the air. You could transport them in a Falcon ute on wide roads. If you were going to a BBQ breakfast it was usually faster to leave it in the Ute, but you couldn't go past the $499.00 kit price and three hour assembly time..........................
  10. ........even strobes pinched from Jabiruis tied down in the open. This caused problems for both the Traumahawks and the Tubine-Opossunoquonuskes. It was a bit like someone farting in the middle of the final scene of Romeo aand Juliet. No one could do a thing in case they.....................
  11. .....married to Francine Opossunoquonuskes when he was nine. Wanting to be associated with that famous female Indian Warrior, Charles changed his surname to Turbine - Opossunoquonuskes, effectively driving the teachers of Tasmania nuts for generations. Just imagine the teacher saying "PUT that pencil down Turbine - Opossunoquonuskes!!!! three or four times a day. Tasmanians are eccentric, it has to be said. Let's face it, how many people would buy a Jabiru Kit, take 17 years to build it, then decide not to fly it because the paint would fade. Charles was no exception and when he grew up he sported a magnificent Indian headdress. One day he was introduced to a Mainlander, Cappy. Never one for diplomacy, Cappy said "They're not American Eagle feathers, there's acream Legbar, there's a Leghorne, there's a Wyandotte, there's a Cornish Cross Rock and that one's a Red Broiler. Charles Opossunoquonuskes reached for his tomahawk.............
  12. Centre of Gavity (CG). After a few seconds his Moment (M) has changed so much that he is ins Cantilever (CV). It was Charles Opossunoquonuskes who had 12 daughters (there was no electric light in Tasmania in the 1960s) who, in a desperate race against time found the solution - Thylacine Oil, and saved his daughters from a fate worse than death. (That was his opinion of course; not necessarily that of the daughters). Charley Turbine, great uncle of Turbo was a logger who worked in the giant forests of the time, and Turbo remembers the story as an eight year old, so he was never quite told the key parts of how the oil was administered. Charlie married Francine Opossunoquonuskes and three weeks later they had a little boy, so it certainly sped up the gestation period, and would have......................

  14. ........which just reminded Turbo that in his teenage years he was part of a Young Farmers contingent who went to Tasmania to help out in an apple blight. They couldn't afford to fly from Melbourne so they had to walk round the beaches. It was one stormy night and they were camped in some sheltering trees. Noticing a movement and thinking it may be a Tasmanian Tiger, Turbo walked into the bush. There in a clearing was a young girl just about to get into a Bluehead Drifter [avref]. You don't often get to see two good things at the same time in Tasmania and Turbo enthusiastically introduced himself. Her name was Cathy Opossunoquonuske..............................

He changed their transport system and was awarded the "Govenor Hobart" medal and has never been called a Mainlander, but these people are the smartest in Australia. One of Turbo's customers was called ACE, and not for nothing. Once Turbo asked him why he was ordering so many buses. They're for the City route he replied. Turbo said "But XXXXXXXXX company has the licence for that route." He said Yes, but that's why you're sitting in a caravan office here; we can see down onto the highway and bus stop 25. When the XXXXXXXXXX bus stops, I wait 25 minutes then send one of my buses onto the highway, by the time the drivers get to the city they have 50 passengers and XXXXXX have about 5. On another occasion the Tasmanians had come over for a new model release and dinner. On Turbo's table was his Tasmanian friend, we'll call him Chris Hazeldene.They were sitting next to some microphone stuff so knew there was going to be a "Sinking of the Titanic" segment with real actors. Chis noticed a CD marked "TITANIC" on the microphone table and in one action of telling a story about mutton birds, stretched his arm out, flicked the CD up his sleeve, lifted up the large table leg and flicked it under the foot, out of sight. His two eyes bored into Turbo's saying "This is Tasmanian business." One of the staff had asked him where he was from, and when he said Smithton without getting a response, he softly said "Tasmania" When asked if he needed two plates, he quietly said "No thanks" Later in the night the lights went down, they could see the actors going to their places and there was a frantic discussion with denials searches, panic. Tassie Chris sat there sipping his tea, the CD next to his toe with a straight face. The show couldn't go on. The lights came on, everyone was asked to stand up and they searched the floor to make sure it hadn't been dropped. One of the actors remembered he had a master copy at home, an hour away so off he went. The Restaurant put on free drinks for two hours to placate the guests and Tassie Chris just kept quietly telling his stories. Never raise the two xxxxx with a Tasmanian even .......

Turbo has been following the preparation of the Tassie Tigers, practicing in and out of the old Convict cells, and it was Turbo who got the Stadium Architects to soundproof the venue to "Music Room" standard. The Tasmanian Architects wanted to know why, but Turbo, is not a racist, and would only roll his eyes in the direction of the four eyes, the expression indicating their owner was about to pounce, and they got the message and amended the design, which has probably saved the roof or .............
