Admin Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 3 years in a holding pattern JJ...great to see that you've finally landed
p3stoker Posted January 1, 2012 Author Posted January 1, 2012 Hi Kaz, I'm in Adelaide, been in the Air Force for 23 years as an Aircraft Tech and Flight Engineer (still serving), and been Ultralighting (L2/flying) for about 10 years for the fun of it.... Thanks for your warm regards peoples!
av8vfr Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 Ha JJ, I guessed P3 + stoker + Adelaide = Orion black hander or Flt Eng... I did Flt Eng famil back in 1997(??) in the P3, C130 & Caribous, but couldn't see a job secure future with the C130-J (no flteng) and Caribous being shutdown... I suppose the P3s will be the next.. I was Avionics so dont know many A/Techs from P3s.. Cheers:cheers: Matt
p3stoker Posted January 1, 2012 Author Posted January 1, 2012 Yeah Ginger Beers are definately on the endangered species list Mat, I reckon you might have dodged a bullet staying out of it....I wasn't a P3 blackhander though, I plied my trade on plastic parrots and draggies...all of which are now extinct...
av8vfr Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 Extinct on the RAAF front...some ex-parrots are getting around on the GA register tho... nowadays, trouble is that the people that appreciate the craft don't have the coin to keep it alive... otherwise I'd be happy to crank some TF-30s on a F-111 for the occasional airshow if it was achievable.... I'm sure Dazza would be my RHS...lol 1
