Flightrite Posted December 9, 2023 Posted December 9, 2023 That’s an oldie but a goody👍 You’d wanna have faith in ya driver!😂 1
facthunter Posted December 12, 2023 Posted December 12, 2023 I doubt that It's real so I can't see any point in discussing possibilities at any depth. Nev 1
IBob Posted December 12, 2023 Posted December 12, 2023 But certainly reminiscent of them good ol' days when, to add to the excitement, the pilot wasn't allowed to see where he was actually going. Or where he'd been: just where he might have been if he was travelling parallel to his actual current path.............( 1 1
facthunter Posted December 12, 2023 Posted December 12, 2023 Plenty of aircraft had poor visibility in a lot of directions. Nev 1
spacesailor Posted December 12, 2023 Posted December 12, 2023 Mostly in the forward view, for both take- off and landing . Until they put the tail-wheel up front .LoL. spacesailor

facthunter Posted December 28, 2023 Posted December 28, 2023 Just a sharp turn with bogey wheels. Shouldn't be parked like that. Too much stress on everything. Nev
onetrack Posted December 28, 2023 Posted December 28, 2023 (edited) It was actually an incompetent pushback effort. Tyres were ripped off in the exercise. Edited December 28, 2023 by onetrack
facthunter Posted December 28, 2023 Posted December 28, 2023 Full Lock on the nosewheel or near either way is a very sharp turn . Bad enough with Just dual wheels. The twisting load on that is enormous. Nev 1
facthunter Posted December 30, 2023 Posted December 30, 2023 That's NOT a very accurate portrayal of the situation. To be in the left seat of an RPT you need 1500 hours of command time + basic turbines, pressurisation in baro chamber. command ME IFR. First class ATPL etc etc. and usually time in the RHS on type requiring a 2nd class ATPL. If you'd only flown a Piper Cub VFR you wouldn't get a lot of Brownie Points for that and you need to be very fluent in getting around the place at a fair speed. and never be behind the Plane. Try a Brisbane to Coolangatta with a bit of traffic and weather around, or all stops Cairns to BNE in the wet season and no mistakes allowed. Nev 1
red750 Posted December 30, 2023 Posted December 30, 2023 That's why it's in the SILLY aviation pictures thread, 1 1
facthunter Posted December 30, 2023 Posted December 30, 2023 It IS conveying a message regardless and as I said it is not an accurate one. I don't see that as desirable because A lot say "I saw somewhere" as good enough.. It's more funny IF it's REAL. FACT can be stranger than fiction. Don't you want comments?. Nev

Jerry_Atrick Posted January 5 Posted January 5 Yeah, but not sure the tape is up to aviation grade. Cardboard looks good, though. 1
Marty_d Posted January 7 Posted January 7 What's Lockheed doing assembling Airbuses? (I know, it's just a joke, but you have to have internal consistency) 1 1
