The wikipedia page for the Airbus A300 has the following cockpit photo which shows not only yoke control, but no glass cockpit.

And this one from 2006:

Here are some photos from a PowerPoint slideshow of Putin's "Air Force One" The original file is too large to load, even when zipped.

Note: It even has a golden shower.

The red wriggly line under a word means it is misspelled.

This won't win me any friends, but I have to agree with Rob Judd. Why do so many contributors to these forums take such delight and pride in mangling the mother tongue? Misspelling and use of wrong words is rampant, and doesn't give one confidence in the perpetrator. If you can't spell basic words, I would have little faith in your ability to fly an aircraft, and even less in your ability to construct and maintain one. The education level displayed is not much above grade 4 primary school.

Although I held a PPL for 18 years, its 28 years since I last flew. My interest is now as an aircraft photographer, so I listed Enthusiast. Is there any way to update other info on the Profile page?

Hi Rzaff,

I took the liberty of enhancing a couple of your images, just adjusting the brightness and contrast. Some have been rotated to normal view. To view a large version, simply click on the file name, or to see them in lightbox, click on the thumbnail.

Very cool, Ian.

One day a man, who loved baked beans more than anything else, met a sweet woman and fell in love. When it became apparent that he would marry, he made the supreme sacrifice and gave up beans.

Some months later, on his birthday, his car broke down on the way home from work. Since he lived in the countryside… he called his wife and told her he would be late because he had to walk home. On the way, ...he passed by a small diner and the odour of baked beans was more than he could stand. With miles to walk, he figured that he would walk off any ill effects by the time he reached home, so he stopped at the diner… and before he knew it, he consumed three large orders of baked beans. All the way home, he made sure that he released all the gas.

Upon his arrival, his wife seemed excited to see! Him and exclaimed delightedly: “Darling I have a surprise for dinner tonight.”

She then blindfolded him and led him to the chair at the dinner table. He took a seat and just as she was about to remove his blindfold, the telephone rang. She made him promise not to touch the blindfold until she returned and went to answer the call.

The baked beans he had consumed were still affecting him and the pressure was becoming most unbearable, so while his wife was out of the room he seized the opportunity, shifted his weight to one leg and let one go. It was not only loud, but it smelled like a fertilizer truck running over a skunk in front of a pulpwood mill. He took his napkin from his lap and fanned the air around him vigorously. Then, shifting to the other cheek, ripped off three more. The stink was worse than cooked cabbage.

Keeping his ears carefully tuned to the conversation in the other room, he went on like this for another few minutes. The pleasure was indescribable.

When eventually the telephone farewells signaled the end of his freedom, he quickly fanned the air a few more times with the napkin, placed it on his lap and folded hands back on it feeling very relieved and pleased with himself. His face was like that of innocence child when his wife returned, apologizing for taking so long.

She asked him if he had peeked through the blindfold, and he assured her he had not.

At this point, she removed the blindfold, and twelve dinner guests seated around the table chorused: “Happy Birthday!”

And he FAINTed!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does anyone know where we can see video of the 747 making it's final landing at Longreach?I believe there was a similar one in South Africa.

A man goes into a restaurant and is seated. All the waitresses are gorgeous.

A particularly voluptuous waitress wearing a very short skirt and legs that won't quit came to his table and asked if he was ready to order,

"What would you like, sir?"

He looks at the menu and then scans her beautiful frame top to bottom, then answers, "A quickie."

The waitress turns and walks away in disgust.

After she regains her composure she returns and asks again,

"What would you like, sir?"

Again the man thoroughly checks her out and again answers,

"a quickie, please."

This time her anger takes over, she reaches over and slaps him across the face with a resounding "SMACK!" and storms away.

A man sitting at the next table leans over and whispers,

"Um, I think it's pronounced 'quiche'."

This video would be just as much at home in the Nostalgia and History forum, or the Aviation Humour forum. Enjoy a good laugh.

Parking location marked with red arrow.

I was at Tulla shortly after 8:00 this morning after dropping my daughter off for a flight to Qld. I always carry my camera with me, and drive around to see if there is anything worth photographing.

I drove out the Sunbury Road, and saw a Jetstar Boeing 787 and a Royal Brunei aircraft parked close together at the very north end of the airport, near the holding bay for Rwy 16. It seemed unusual that they should be parked so far from everything else. See imagDoes anyone know why they might have been parked like this?

Registration shows Zenith CH200.

Graphic visualisation, or mental practice.

Watch the Australian Open or any other golf tournament. You will see the champions take two or three practice swings before they actually hit the ball, and visualise where the ball will go. Watch Matt Hall or any other aerobatic champion before they fly. They step through their routine on the ground, visualising what they are going to do in the air. To onlookers, it may look weird, but it gets their mind "in the groove".

Here's a shot taken at the Houdini Centenary Airshow in 2010.

Has this knocked the floating 'Back to Top' button off?

Looking at the 15 new photos, I found that you have to open the image then return to the New Media page to reduce the new image count. Browsing through in the lightbox will not do it.

I think it's a handy flag to let you know when new media has been posted, so long as you know how to use it. It saves you going to the media section when there is nothing new to look at.
