Photos, photos, photos - better than a thousand words Storchy. Let's see what has been done.

 

 

[storchy neil]

What U doin up at this hour old fella ... LOL

 

 

[turboplanner]

I've been desperately waiting all night for Storchy's photos to come up. Maybe I'll have to drive up to Shepparton and take some myself.

 

 

[David Isaac]

Yeah, the poor bugga is having a torrid time. I think the idea of showing the aircraft at Temora damaged and the letter from CASA stuck to the windscreen would certainly raise eyebrows and probably get the attention it deserves.

 

 

[turboplanner]

I agree, but he shouldn't have to go to that expense, so maybe it's possible to fast track things

Hi Turbo,

If you look in the latest albums to the side of the forums page there are quite a few there

[turboplanner]

Thanks, I'll have a look.

What really peeves me off about this sort of thing is how both CASA and the RAAus keep threatening pilots like us with heavy fines and/or jail for even stepping an inch outside their rules and when something like this happens they just turn a blind eye and leave you in the lurch and out of pocket.

 

Board members it is time to lean on both the RAAus exec and CASA. professionals..... phooey!
