onetrack Posted September 29, 2018 Posted September 29, 2018 That Jet engine BBQ is just what you need to demoralise the bragging V8 engine BBQ owner! However, I've seen this impressive BBQ at a Toowoomba Tractor Heritage show, which offers heavy duty grilling! It features a three burner grill, a bar fridge, a sink with on board water supply, and a side burner - and it needs a 2.5 tonne forklift to move it around!
antonts Posted October 4, 2018 Posted October 4, 2018 Could be Gisborne NZ, or is there another place with the bright idea of mixing trains with planes? France, 1979, combined trip Paris-London with fast train and direct transfer to plane.

"Train, Train. Whoop, whoop, pull up" If you have a look through the ATSB Database last year, there was a Loss of Separation between a hot air balloon and a wheat train in WA. The PDF report 2

Or perhaps they were. Depends on your perspective... 1

onetrack Posted October 9, 2018 Posted October 9, 2018 I've heard of being "hung out to dry" - but that's taking it to ridiculous lengths!
Thruster88 Posted October 9, 2018 Posted October 9, 2018 I had to Google zip line.This one is 2km long sounds like fun, it has also snagged a Bell jetranger.
KRviator Posted October 9, 2018 Posted October 9, 2018 I had to Google zip line.This one is 2km long sounds like fun, it has also snagged a Bell jetranger. Good thing it's well-built. In my younger days, a mate and I built a zip-line from the top of his dad's 30' feed silo. Threaded an old steel shovel handle over it and pulled it tight with the tractor. First time we tried it, it snapped about 5m out and he dropped into the only stand of thick grass between the silo and the tractor. Other than a couple of beautiful bruises, none the worse for it... 1

facthunter Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 Not sure I can agree with that red. The idea that flying is not real work is a falsity. On a good day you would pay to do it. On a really bad day there's not enough money around to pay you to do it if you knew in advance, what was ahead of you. Most people don't really know what goes on at the pointy end . and some pilots just have a life where not much happens. Good luck to them.. Nev
