    the old boy was a topdressing pilot and he died first. the old girl kept his ashes and when she died we organised to have the 2 containers placed in a topdressing plane and have them spread on some local hills prior, after some phone organisation we left the containers at the local topdressing pilots house (who knew the olds) (with numerous bottles of wine and beer and perhaps cash) ................. I never verified what actually did happen but believe it to be true - that's all that matters

    sometimes peoples should put Keentor, FH, Turbo in post ............ so you can tell which comment is addressed to who

    low more than slow ! be good to hear some data on wire strike - the span, weight and strength of power cables are more than a match for most aircraft

    The Qld premier / government are now making noises about Qld having a fire fighting 737 too ! Whether a good idea or not - we trust that appropriate benefit analysis ? will dictate what aircraft are purchased

    This site has a long road to run Ian - thanks to your enthusiasm . servitude, perseverance ......................... I doubt there will ever be an end if you allow to keep it all going I'd say a fair few of us read intently all that is posted - with limited knowledge on most of the subjects, for me, its just as best to let the informed decide and go with the majority vote

    what about the line trimmers and mowers that start up after lunch ............................ right at / during siesta time - oh for a house at antarctica (no neighbours)

    I've read an accident report somewhere that 'thistles' and other vegetation clogged a low wing aileron horn balance and caused the plane to roll and prang ............. found vegetation from a deviation from the runway ................. low wing ............. you'd have to try a lot harder in a high wing

    interesting to know how a big 737 (15000 litres water) competes with a AT802 (3000 litres water) - nice to know - the 737 certainly has more bling ! looks like a 737 is about $ 100 million and a AT 802 about $ 4 million
  21. johnm
    I'll bet you $ 50 dollars this 737 (or any) does not scoop water - its a full stop landing for refill

    a tough lesson to all concerned - my sympathies since no one has suggested our conjectures are ..................... the PAL thingy is the remote activated lights on the runway ? wonder why the plane 1 that landed first ? could not reactivate lights for plane 2 - or could PAL be overwhelmed by requests Can you activate PAL when on the ground ?

    Par 5 ?

    more on a infomercial ? at 13.54 Mr Joyce states 4 females and 3 gay men in diversity of decisions ................. wonder what the decision would be if it was 4 females and 3 men
