    anything is possible in the real world reminds me when we were all seated on a Qlink Dash at say 5.30 am in the morning - at Brisbane - next announcement was all you bods get off - so it was back to the terminal - Qlink had to fix a flat tyre we didn't grumble - we all thought the experience was a ripper

    there appears to be no emergency chute - just the 1 main chute ? you'd have to be brave to jump out of a perfectly good aeroplane (parachutist) so jumping out of a perfectly good aeroplane with a wing suit might have some better potential appeal in the future - compared to straight parachuting having said that .................... parachuting remains a whole lot more popular

    exciting stuff .......... but not for the faint hearted I guess you could call them a glider ............... some would say its a gauranteed descent with little forward component any forum members had any knowlegde or experience in them ? - speed - rate of descent - cost etc etc are there australian wing suit sites for jumping

    I can remember asking an instructor to demonstrate a climb / vertical stall turn (don't know the word) The manouvre was a fizzer An Airtourer I think - the plane fell back - in reverse gear ............. a lesson on how not to do it ! It was like backing into a Woolworths parking lot ................ and hitting a couple of shopping trollies on the way in

    we all must be nuts talking about the mechanics of legislation But Turbo does raise the point that any new rule re registration could financially benefit some persons and not others ......... and should be announced correctly

    and the data says (numbers rounded) * 70 c dents per 100 miles (fuel) * 40 miles per gallon (fuel) * means that fuel was 28 cents per gallon ? * cigarettes and ashtrays were probably a minimal cost to the body back then
