    Very sad, especially with family there waiting/watching. Fire chief said plane was inbound with nine on board, wondering if that is correct as jumpers should have been gone when inbound.

    Hi All, I cannot figure out how to get a plan started on Oz runways without it selecting me at home with a 5 mile leg to point of origin ie home to YSTW. When i tap airfield it only has option to add to plan, not start from there. Is there something i am missing. I want to print plan sheet which I can only do at home. Any tips appreciated. thanks

    Whatever this one is, it looks good. Paint and colour choice could have probably made the previous one look better.

    Does anyone have info on weekends event at Moree. I am not on Bookface and you need to log on for details. I would like to attend Saturday morning with info on procedures, approach, limited times etc. Cheers Clinton

    Just watched current affair. What a bunch of Douches. Typical of greenies and desk jockeys that have never done anything but criticise any one doing their own thing or having a go. I bet the airfield was there way before any of the people complaining were living there. They more than likely would have bought cheap because of location, then go on to complain. I hope this is a battle that goes in the favour of all of you guys who use and make a living from the airfield. Good luck

    Supplying the arm mounted jet pods sounds a better idea. I haven’t seen any new videos on them lately, but they were impressive. At least you could only splat one at a time with them.

    Every time you enter a competition or join a newsletter etc online your details go out, with no control over them or much chance of a win( in case of a comp). Runways/airfields cost money. paying a small fee is not such a big imposition. The really high charging ones could be avoided, especially in our category. Offers of no fee for fueling up there could be a sweetener for most and bring in business for them. Privacy does not really exist anymore for people who access/use the internet and we should be expending energy on more important things. Just my thoughts on this matter

    went there a few weeks ago, the little radial on the front was different. Suprised at no real forward vision. The lady at front desk was helpful, maybe she could send photos of the info displayed around the plane.

    Added a Tecnam Sierra to the list of aircraft I have flown today. Nice light aircraft to handle after the 182 for so long. Looking forward to my next jaunt in it. YTSW put on a beaut morning for it.

    I sika flexed an aluminium plate to the firewall of a foam and plastic electric mustang, then bolted a .15 glow engine to it. I hand launched it with motor running and the torque tore the front clean out of it after about 10 feet. Modifications are fun learning experiences.

    I remember watching the mini series as a kid, always thought corrugated iron was a strange material for an airplane from that show.

    Can this one be put out to pasture, its no use flogging a dead horse.

    What happened to IMSAFE, before flight. Pressure itis, get there itis are killers

    I followed the same path for similar reasons, only now I sit in a 182 on my own or 1 passenger if anyone is not to busy to come with me, which chews through a bit of Avgas per hour. I had about 80 hours Raaus when i started and took around 26 hours to convert over with the differences in handling, extra things to do like prop and mixture, controlled aerodromes etc. The figures of 5hrs to convert that are sometimes shown must be for geniuses. The bonus now being I can now jump in on a good day and be on the coast in an hour without worry if the tower is open-I actually find I like them there because having someone guide you helps with workload a bit when approaching somewhere new or busy.

    The detail in that cub is great, it took me a moment to realise it was a model. It was as if someone was flying it from the rear seat and filming.

    Post #10 in Hayward’s bay emergency landing. There is one. I have gone back looking, some have disappeared. I will write down others if I spot them. Cheers

    Any info on why “&amp” appears everywhere. I thought it was a substitute for a bad word but that does not make sense.

    Did someone hop in the Delorean, we jumped a bit or something.

    Missing Man, the Len Waters Story was an excellent read. Reading Pierre Closterman's the Big Show at the moment, having trouble putting it down I have found if I see an interesting book on aviation, especially military I tend to grab it. Collection is growing steadily. If they keep putting crap on TV at night I will be reading lots more.
