  1. There are occasionally 2 PPCs fly from somewhere in the Lysterfield valley (near Upper Ferntree Gully)
  2. Cheers. The government site supports this.
  3. I had a scan of the abc reporting on the new ministerial lineup but couldn't figure out who will govern our future development. Any one know who we need to apply pressure/be nice to?
  4. Also, I was passenger entering into Quito on a night flight when we required a missed approach. The interesting house lights above you lose some fascination as you have to climb some and then loiter/circle waiting for the visibility to improve. These guys earn their dollars and my admiration
  5. I have flown into La Paz in Bolivia,13300ft high, but not up front. Amazingly fast touchdown and big braking. My Kitfox would have a nosebleed trying to get that high.
  6. Opening ok for me on an old iPad.
  7. Check the landing fees at Wagga.
  8. Another large thank you to Don for his work on the board as well as the significant input into this thread. I hope you intend to just take a breather then return to contribute widely Don.
  9. On the proxy form there is no indication as to a tick or a cross being required. Can you clarify which is needed or is mandatory. Will the vote be considered for the blank box if I use a cross?
  10. Area code 064 is south coast NSW
  11. ABC just in reporting that a Californian in a parked car has been hit by an aircraft attempting to land on a motorway. Experimental/kit I think but I will allow others to name the type.
  12. Tell us what you really think Mike.
  13. Yes, a response from RAA, brief but a response that is better than silence.
  14. Power to you Russ. Living the dream despite the knockers.
  15. CFA app has accident/rescue safe. Hope this is the case
  16. http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/Plane-Parachutes-to-Safe-Crash-Landing-on-Long-Island-371162171.html
  17. Another Cirrus testing out parachutes. http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/Plane-Parachutes-to-Safe-Crash-Landing-on-Long-Island-371162171.html
  18. Don, my impetus was not that a board member should act contrary to the benefit of the association but be aware of the thoughts and wishes of members. I feel that the administration is busy with day to day running of the show not collecting thoughts and feelings of the membership. That is the role of our elected board in my opinion. I could be wrong.
  19. Don I believe that the association has board members to represent voting members. These board members are elected on a regional basis, I assume to have a voice for the members in those regions. If I cannot approach my regional representative of the board we might as well have no regional basis to the board elections but only a universal (nation wide) election to the board. Am I right or wrong?
  20. Thanks for your suggestions,. I have a cheapie on order and will report back on its usefulness
  21. I haven't received it and won,t be available for a month to do so It is the 4 cutter jobbie I am after.
  22. My latest and easiest but possibly risky is an exhaust cutter from ebay.
