Would it not be better to accept what seems to have been a better than average bit of flying by a person who, from the results, has probably thought about what to do and possibly practiced it?

As Winsor68 himself said, it could be gossip.

2. I've flown a Cherokee Warrior at 45 degrees, and watched Bob Hoover, and find the 60 degree/no power/very low altitude

story hard to believe.

3. In a heavy GA aircraft you'd have to be NUTS to practice 180

deg turns with engine failure after take off.

It seemed to regular NES readers that The Rat had gone into a reflective phase, numbering off the most important people and events in his life.

Buried in the numbered items was a bait "or is perhaps just getting a bit vague", but regular NESers knew better than to pick that one up and become the subject of frenzied Rat Scribble.

It's doubtful that Tomo will make it if he departs late August or even late July for that matter, because it's duck shooting season out west, and to many duck hunters a Tafe Student sitting on a piece of 2 inch water pipe with a fan behind him looks exactly like a Blue Winged Shoveller.

The Cowra event does bring up a little known issue.

During the Cowra break out at the Prison Camp for the Japanese in WW2, not all of them were rounded up.

They disguised themselves as Chinese and started a market garden, mostly selling their products in Canberra where Australians were most gullible.

Akihiko had been amazed at how dumb Australians were, paying them for produce when they should have been getting it for nothing, but the group kept to themselves and so never heard that the war had ended.

They were happy enough, and now delivered the vegetables along the east coast in five Kenworth B Doubles, always leaving one person to guard the compound.

"I see in the paper there's going to be a fry in" said Shinichi "Why don't we grab an aircraft and escape to Nippon?"

"Would it have a GPS?" asked Tomochino

"Shut Up!" said Akihikio, disgusted at how the younger Japanese were picking up western ways.

"What will we do when we get there?" asked Nobushi

"What you mean? asked Akihiko

"We were never taught to land" said Nobushi.

"You just......"

Hope I haven't eaten them out.....I haven't heard that one.

No turbz....Fear of Tasmanians is "Sarcophilusharrisiiophobia" ....I kid you not.What is fear of Tooradinians?.....My mate says its Boofheadphobia but I dont know if I believe him

Ssssssssssssssfffffphrssssssssssssskkkkkkkkkkkk - sorry Qwerty, I was just finishing a crayfish at Wings and Fins. (Oh, it's 4.30 and time to go bac k to work)

No that wouldn't be right - no one's scared of us.

Footnote: We do eat Tasmanian crayfish, but they are fed on Red Bull for a month first.

Which is fear of Tasmanians

"Hi to you too Tubbo" said some bloke "And wow ..... that IS a bit deviant. No wonder so many cute and cuddlies ( :robin::vis::polite: ) are meeting (or should that be "meating"?) their fate (:spam:)at Turb'sholme. Isn't there a law against that?"

"Yes there is" said Ahlow 'It's section 24 subclause 1.b.(ii).xmcii, which says ..........

"....that you must disclose this sort of activity"

"OK" said Turbo, "if you insist, I was making sausages.

"I've always been partial to baked possum from my early days in the country before McDonalds existed, and from the many camping trips we took with the kids where we always collected the evening meal as we drove along the road.

"There's nothing like an aged roo.

"I make these sausages and sell them to the Motels who don't do meals, or pull down the shutters just as you reach out to hand in the breakfast menu" he said.

Turbo continued: "one of my best customers is the magnificent RAT'S RETREAT at Wagga Wagga, although I have to label those "Posume" to cater for the European tourists"

The golden glow died as the Rat's lip dropped - how was he going to get out of that one.

He decided to drive out to the airport and start up the Jab, partly because about now Whino was due to whine about aviation content, and partly because he wanted to think, and to fly a Jab you sure have to think.....

because after we hear his microwave "ding" we hear noises that sound like .............

Evidence of Turbo's kindness to animals presented by Slatter & Gordoni

Tomo, who as a morse code speaking alien was very familiar with "Twist" cases.

"Firstly" said Tomo, "I couldn't help but notice that the Defendant" who reprimanded me for speaking in the first person, did so himself shortly thereafter.

"And furthermore, he represents MINING interests"

The judge looked at the lawyers and thje lawyers looked at the judge and the case was prolonged for six months.

..........Put up a fight!

And he did.

He employed specialist lawyers Slatter and Gordoni,

who said Turbodangler was a known conservationalist, and provbided a short video.

They were able to prove that the butch police and RSPCA spokesperson was known for throwing people, and had failed to carry out proper analysis of the lolly wrappers.

They pointed out that independent analysis had shown the artic mints came from a Ukrainian Tartic hooch shop proprietor who never washed his hands before plunging them into the Arctic Mint mix, and since he skun skunks every morning a bacteria which was deadly to the animals dear to Turboplungers heart, had killed them.

They pointed out there were no signs saying "Do not litter" along the road, because NSW people didn't give a stuff (they said that in legal language)

As a consequence they were able to prove beyond reasonable doubt that Mr Rat, had failed in his Duty of Care by buying cheap Mints.

Rat now became public enemy No 1 as the tearful residents of the Riverina noticed the dead animals throughout the countryside, and a few days later smelt them.

Can you explain what a Sine is? Otherwise I have to climb up to the top of an Aero Shield on a B Double and get someone to drive through a gutter until my fingers are chopped off by the A Trailer

Don't worry, it took a lot of us a lot of time to work it out.

Viral Advertising I think its called. The Agency sets up a provocative photo/video and everyone keeps circulating it to their friends. I think this one finished up with millions of hits for free.

I was once saved because I'd done some basic theory, but Neil Williams really shows the value of learning your theory, and knowing the anatomy of your aircraft, and cool..........

Has the Nanna in the garden worn poor dikkaDint out? :run:

"it was probably over-celebration about his throat results" said Turbo to Lotsaflyspots.

"Or is could possibly be he's still helping the new girls find their landmarks, in particulat him"

"I've noticed a couple haven't been posting lately" said Lotsaflyspots

"It's all pointing in the one direction, isn't it....."

We did that one last year - It's a clothing promotion from Killathrill.

However, if you want to read about raw skill search for the English stunt pilot who broke his wing and recovered - the reports explains the mechanics of what happened and how he used his knowledge to make it fly.

"But what if .............

"....there's one of those ever so nice little Ultralights on the Duty Runway? he asked.

"Never mind that, here I'll show you" said the Instructa and conducted a circuit which took in Henty, which Turbo had been quietly orbiting.

Somewhat unhappy with the wake turbulence of the Dash 8, Turbo rammed the Jab throttle wide open. There was no difference, but in the interests of continuity we'll assume he caught up with the Dash 8.

Pulling alongside the Dash 8 he slid in front of the wing, and sticking his leg out through the gap between the door and the frame, gave Instructa's cabin a hearty kick as he'd seen many sidecar riders do in the past.

The thing about a bully is no one ever stands up to them, and to everyone's surprise, Instructa burst into tears and headed off for Queensland......

"Hello, Horlocks is back from the fire" said Turbo, "and I see they've made a special smiley for Qwerty too"

Thoughtfully he began to consider whether this hornet's nest was really worth stirring.....
