    Trouble is that some people don't read signs and others choose to ignore them. Alan.

    That's quite a framework just to mount a didgeridoo on. Alan.

    I'm one of those 'in' sort of guys, so does that make me 'infamous'? Alan.

    I had a tow bar fitted to the tail of my aircraft so that if a Jabiru had engine failure I could attach and tow him back to the airfield. Alan.

    Angle of attack.

    If you had been pulling on my rope that many times I would have jumped the chocks and ran as fast as I could also. . Late starter Alan.

    FT you should be on the Board of Jabiru not the Bored of this forum..

    You need to do a Google search guys, apparently the passengers alighted from the aircraft, were then eaten by a pride of lions who subsequently rested in the shade after their heavy meal. Alan.

    No way, the opposite is true, 5 hours of circuits in a tail dragger (must have log book proof) qualifies you to enter 'Dancing with the Stars).. Alan.

    Why are we talking about human passengers, it was probably the lions that were waiting to board.

    Several years ago we had a Drifter which was fitted with a BRS which was about to reach it's use by date when the owner/instructor asked if anyone of our experienced pilot group would like to try it out to see how it performed so I offered. I climbed to 1,000 feet above the airfield (nil wind conditions), did all my checks, switched off the engine, reached for that little red handle...........then changed my mind and did a dead stick landing. I just couldn't pluck up the courage however, I would have in the case of a structural failure. I could have re-started the engine but the exercise was useful anyway. Alan.

    I can understand a permanent suspension but perhaps Ian can advise us as to how many minor suspensions have occurred during a certain number of years and how many of those forumites were upset and no longer contributed. Alan.

    The problem is that those darn fluffy things in the sky always tend to cloud your judgement. Alan.

    Lots of taxiing with the tail up (talking tail wheel here of course).

    Ladies and gentlemen it is now time to board your aircraft. Alan.

    A lot of magnificent machines were created in 1939 and lasted for many years; .....I was born on the 1st, August 1939. . Alan.

    Not if the shute causes one. Alan.
  18. Guernsey
    That's a good one to use as 'a rule of thumb'. Alan.

    I remember the first Populars to be sold in Guernsey cost 279 pounds. A mate of mine owned one. Alan.

    No cross wind problems on finals.

    I used to like the old VFR rules....'clear of cloud and in sight of the surface' .

    Keep your log book at all times, it is yours.
  23. Guernsey
    Records tend to encourage people to break them; in this case it could well be people and aeroplanes that get broken. Alan.

    Were these Falcons at war with each other whilst flying over the Falklands? .
  25. Guernsey
    Welcome Roger.....so you're the guy whose name I kept hearing in my headset when I was learning to fly years ago..
