.......... stop flapping your arms when you are trying to get the LEDwing off he ground."

"Go bite yours, E-Paulette" responded Madge who was sick of the AUF/RAA history lesson on every issue at every board meeting every couple of minutes, and then Paulette regaled the board meeting with his usual "Youze should have been there for my finest hour at the Temora GM a couple of years ago when I took total control and had the members eating out of my hand."

"Eating out of your hand?" questioned Brine "I thought that they chewed it off up to your shoulder and only left your head because ...................

It's worth listening again to the interviews with the pilot and his passenger on the beach.

What a pair of knobs.

And after all this terrible airmanship and questionable decision making it wasn't their fault, as the bloke mit the European accent reckons they had been too conservative in their take-off planning, and that was the root of the problem.

........., but had only made $3.47 since he lined up with the girls on October 6th.

"That doesn't even pay for my fishnets" he complained "And the CASA Inspector, who also moonlights as an Inspector and Dobber for F'n Q Fisheries, has pinged me for the size of the net in my stockings, as he reckons that ................

Don't tell me you're trying to link this prang to some kind of fundamental problem with the 3300 engine or the 200/230 airframe.

That's about as smart by you as those blokes were on the beach.

Close ups of that particular aircraft around the cowl made it look like a pretty rough build.

.......... which hoit.

But Madgesty couldn't get over the $5 hookers that Tink mentioned in post # 8573.

"Why, that's a dollar each 10 seconds" he said incredulously "I'm not paying that, as it should be complimentary for a servant of the RA-Oz's glorious unwashed."

"Go for it Madge" replied Turbo and here's another $2 for the tip".

"Tip?" said Madge "Tip? What's that, and .....................

It looks to me like it pulled left the way that they all do and with the slope of the beach it would have been very difficult to hold straight and/or above the water level.

Poor decision making, so expect some safety expert/zealot to now add beach landing & take-off decision making to the HF Course.

Perhaps if he did not already, he should have adjusted that Sensenich prop while on the beach for max take-off performance too.

......... all the rest of him was bent into a hideous caricature of an RA-Oz bored board member, with an eye sty that made him look like an Eye-tie, with teeth that made him look like a Grik-guy and with ears that made him look like .............

.......... Prince Chuck.

"When you see him in that light with the sun shining through his ears, he is indeed madgesterial, isn't he?" asked Prince Ahlow the Charming, rhetorically.

"Now that I've been elevated to the RA-OZ Round Table, (for me and Endo are great mates, eh,) I should indeed be next promoted to be the Regent, eh?" said Madge, eh, "But because I'm a f'n antipodian from f'n Mount Perrier in f'n Q, I'll just settle to be appointed f'n GG."

"Fair suck of the sauce bottle there Madge" said Turdy "Don't denigrate yourself like that, as you don't look too much like a horse, but then again ...........

"Whoa up there Your Madge-sty. Why would you choose to use antique magneto switches?"

"No wuckers" replied the Sty "As I bought 'em from one of f'n Q's finest Boutiques d'Antique, a joint called "TSO'd Anteaks" on the outskirts of Bone, so they must be ok & genuine, and that's the same place that I got ..................

"You wouldn't believe it" said Tubb "But I named my TurboCataWing by its development name of "D12" and priced them at $1 million.

"No wuckers, Their Madge-esty" responded the Ahlot, who had a bit of trouble with the concept, "But to me, you will always be known as ............

Some people take what I say too seriously at times and not enough at others. My comments were meant to be a bit tongue in cheek but I guess I failed. I warned you that some of my humour is subtle. Wondering how I could change at my age. Nev

I've NEVER agreed with that saying although it is often quoted. If you are doing an interview for a flying job I would not suggest you offer it as an acceptable technique or standard.There is a similar one about extending landing gear. (Those who have and those who WILL) forget to dangle the dunlops. Those who have and those who "could" would be more apt. Nev

It was visual humour from the MaggyDrop, located in the Laughter forum. Not in Incidents and Accidents. Lighten up dude.

"Becuz it's so far away-and-therefore-a-great-place-to house-Kiwis.
