  1. The news reports (I know I'm silly to believe em) classed the Mallad involved in yesterdays accident at Perth as a "Light Aircraft" but its a hell of a lot bigger than my Rag n Tube. So where do you draw the line in description light Vs heavy
  2. I had to take out a Marine Insurance for my PPC covering fire and theft but more importantly Transit. Eventually lost the Theft portion as they wanted the Locked Container (its home ) to be locked in a shed ???. After many years the value has reduced and now I couldn't be bothered.
  3. Up Close With A Boeing 777
  4. I agree re the WAC Surveyor, noticed these a couple of years ago but don't seem to have 'taken off' as yet. Video review follows.
  5. Funny isn't it, the dynamics of a relationship is universal.
  6. great to watch
  7. That doesn't narrow it down.
  8. Sonar and camera technology is very advanced and in use in Automotive i.e.Tesla. Obviously could be utilised in commercial Aircraft.
  9. One way trip to Sth K would be exciting
  10. Pilot critically injured in crop duster crash near Goondiwindi
  11. Must say though I have the bose. I fly a 2 stroke pusher and the iphone siri still works and when I ring someone they can't even tell im flying and im told the radio calls are 5/5 (no engine noise). Good INVESTMENT.
  12. Got to go to Cameron corner ( border of QLD NSW and SA ). If high wing taxi to fuel bowser and park out front of pub.
  13. And maybe you will be a better prepared pilot than others. Congratulations on going Solo.
  14. Airborne site markets them.
  15. Someone can clarify this if not quite correct but is approx. Going rate for space at Caboolture is approx $250 p/mth (thats what I and others pay). To put that in perspective, sale price of OLD hangers has been around $120k. 34 new hangers have just been built (10 for the club). 15 x 12.5 sold around $180k and 20 x 12.5 around $240k. According to website only 2 small hangers to be sold. Have heard that the club hopes to rent space, 3 to a small hanger between $250 and $300 p/mth.
  16. John was always available for a bit of advice and/or just a chat, and such a nice guy. I am very sad for his wife, kids and friends of which there are many. He will be sorely missed by many. Devastated.
  17. Plenty of Headroom in these
  18. Took me 40 years to grow a Beard, I don't know how i'd go with feathers.
  19. Maybe some of our Yank mates can put their 2 bobs worth in. (Fu*k, hope I didn't offend anyone )
  20. OK John, 125.85 (YCAB,YCDR) to Woorim then 126.7 10nm either side of YTGA which is then all but 10nm from YDUN (126.7) not to mention YBCX. As YTGA was not in ERSA was unsure the default CTAF applied. I will though go to BNE CN over the water "Just in Case".
  21. Considering a flight from Caboolture to the Straddie Breakfast on Saturday. This is a high traffic area with flight lanes depicted on the VTC. FYI the VTC requests all Aircraft transiting to turn on Landing and Taxi Lights. Now YCAB CTAF is 125.85 which will get you to Woorim on the east side of Bribie, then as you cross Moreton Bay (8nm) to Moreton Island change to BN CEN on 125.7 and remain on this freq southbound on the west side of Moreton Island till 10nm+ from Dunwich on Stradbroke Island and change to 126.7. On the way home reverse the trend up the East side of the Islands. My concern is DO many pilots actually monitor and announce their position on the Area Frequency (BN CEN) which is obviously a busy channel.
  22. See www.aeroclub.com.au/events E-NE less than 10kts up to 3000 only 24 degrees by lunchtime. 20% chance <1ml. Looks good
  23. Watch a restored Hawker Hurricane take part in an ear-shattering flight of rare World War II fighter-planes at Scone Airport today. Rare plane flies again with Aussie WWII pilot's colours
