  1. If it wasn't One Nation it wouldn't be on the front page.
  2. Pollies can do a lot of things we can't do. Great Pensions, perks, change their mind, lack of conscience etc. Id like to see them have to go to Centrelink and do an assets test to get their pension.
  3. it all looks like a bowling green from a couple thou feet
  4. That is it in a nutshell Frank. Just don't put it down in front of a Semi or next to a Croc Glides like a Brick
  5. I don't put that much trust in the ATSB findings. Myself and Mark Kyle (Kylecom) witnessed a Cessna crash at YCAB some years back and were interviewed separately. We had a little plane model in our hand showing the last moments of flight and impact straight in. When later reading the results of the enquiry they had it cartwheeling down the runway. Mark and I looked at each other and shrugged.
  6. The type involved flies an elliptical wing with a 2 point attachment which can stall. the common machine in Aus the Aerochute has a rectangular wing and 4 point attachment and cannot spin or stall but its not a sporty machine. No fatalities in this type in Aus been available for 30 years. We are now seeing some of this new type in this country requiring significantly more skill to operate.
  7. I wonder how much she has saved taxpayers by not charging Business Class Airfares for travel done in the Jab.
  8. Lucky that the Cyclone slowed down and didn't cross till Lunchtime. There is a 5m + difference between high and low tides, High Tide was around 8am and had fortunately subsided prior to the storm surge.
  9. And Soylent Green was a biscuit made out of people. Classic Charlton Heston
  10. I have played DSotM, The Wall and Wish you were here a million times in my life. Got some new Bose Headphones recently and have discovered more hidden lyrics - Wow
  11. Is there anybody out there
  12. A false alarm is not a situation that may have gone but didn't and if able should be canceled ASAP. If a misuse of equipment then a steep fine should apply.
  13. Sad to lose a good friend Frank. Condolences to family and friends.
  14. Hi mark and welcome
  15. Imp or US
  16. Like most open cockpit flyers I have been frustrated with Comms especially radio communications. Have recently been trialing Sena Motorcycle comms buitl into the helmet with radio interface for UHF and VHF and WOW it actually works very good. All wireless the bluetooth intercomm works up to 2km. Paired to iphone and due to very good noise cancelling Siri works and calls are clear at both ends. HD music if you want it and it works great and ive got a 503 within 12 inches of my head. there is a chap in SA who has created aviation packs. I wont advertise him here but if you want his details PM me. (how is that any different).
  17. Paragliding the Himalayas for earthquake-struck Nepal
  18. Lovely specimen at Caloundra
  19. Imagine the cockpits with large screens set up for virtual reality bombing runs or Carrier Landings.
  20. Up or back, bit of a dog leg but Watts is having a Breaky. Weather at this stage looks good.
  21. In this recent video in the MTOW increase thread, Linke talks about CTA and MTOW from 15.00 and Medicals from 23.00. They will never abandon "Drivers Licence Medicals" for RAA membership so I would say that includes the new group G up to 1500kg and CTA. RAA MTOW increase?
  22. Yeah, my only concern was for long road trips, kangaroos and idiots.
  23. Funny guys
  24. yeah it is in a locked shipping container, they wanted the container to be locked in a shed
