  1. People who visit Chinese Factories are simply "in AWE" of what they see. Us Infrastructure is out dated and in dis repair. Lack of Investment and research. Port Facilities and road and rail. USA still make SOME good stuff but Gov't Interference and chaos won't be the solution. "Hewson We have a Problem". The Bloke at the Helm has a screw loose. He's not POTUS Material. and thinks He Da KING. Nev
  2. Sorry Greg Vaughan, the Pilot. Nev
  3. You can't rest on your Laurels. The BIG RR motor nearly sent Britain Broke before it was sorted. Nev
  4. I've met Mike a few times when he worked for CASA. Quiet, Unassuming and Capable. I doubt anybody would say a bad word about him. Nev
  5. It would take a while but their Barking can be Louder than the interior of a Plane. You can hear my dogs 4 Kms away. Nev
  6. She "Goes Like a Rocket" won't mean what it used to. Nev
  7. IF their ears tolerate their own barking the Plane won't worry them. Dogs go deaf anyway. . Nev
  8. I don't see a cage as a necessary requirement G of G wise. Some restraint is another matter. (interfere with control movement).. Pets are being allowed on commercial flights more and more. Nev
  9. Work on BIG stuff has Builder approved procedures. IF you follow that to the Letter you are bombproof. Outside of that and you are on your own (as it should be). and it's also documented. Nev
  10. Bass Strait was at that stage regarded as Australia's Bermuda Triangle.. I crewed a DCA F27 at short Notice to search for that Fellow. Had about 6 observers on Board . Maybe the DCA pilots were on a day off. Nev
  11. ltf I think you'd have to have a current PIFR and certified GNSS. Nev
  12. Above 8/8ths Cloud is not VFR compliant . With single engined ops over water it's nice to have max glide available and Island hop. Over steep sloped heavily timbered country it could take ages to even find what's left of you. In Desert in summer without water you won't last one day. Nev
  13. Identify and following other Planes has difficulties even in broad daylight. The most reliable separation at close quarters is vertical . Nev
  14. An accident that was inevitable Under the rules? in place. Why couldn't it be done in a simulator? Nev
  15. Vee Twins never have BOTH pistons stopped at the same time. Nev
  16. IF my memory serves me correctly that plane sat for years at Perth Airport. Nev
  17. More Arse than Class there. Lucky to recover that. Nev
  18. Show OFFs are self eliminating. They are ADRENILIN Junkies. Nev
  19. Runs on Hydrogen Peroxide I believe. Nev
  20. That used to be known as a "FIZZER". Nev
  21. Certainly an Impressive bit of Engineering by any Measure. Nev
