  1. That's incredible! Might as well dump the chute and crash without it, at least ya won't get tangled up in Pwr lines M?
  2. I still get a full medical with a full blood work up even though I no longer need it. It's not about being legal for me it's about being fit to fly and I wanna know what's going on inside my body before something ugly happens, if possible. The cost is peanuts compared to not catching something ugly early!
  3. Plenty of blind spots in some light A/C. Combine that with gadgets to look at and play with distracting the drivers means this event is not that unusual!
  4. Revising an old thread. Just watched SAC with Jimmy Stewart, corny but a good watch?
  5. Yeah getting old, can't deny that! !?
  6. Normal Alt's are not an issue due the CTA steps and terrain, blw 5000' quadrantal is optional, fly at the safest height. The ML VTC is the go to map. There Web Cams available for the area. Pretty quiet these days due the CV hysteria.
  7. Bet ya don't see this 'farri'?? gotta feel for the snow ski businesses in Vict. Poor buggers part of dopey Dan's destruction down here!?
  8. What a beautiful down around Melb, I was not alone up there today, the busiest I've seen/heard the R/T in a while, might be the masks on the air intakes of the many planes!??
  9. I went in a drifter once a long time ago, not for me, each to their own I guess?
  10. Doesn't look 36m high to me?????
  11. This high pressure us giving us some lovely conditions to aviate, costing me a fortune!?
  12. Wind off hPa wing off Alt ?
  13. Dopey Dan has gotta justify his actions somehow!? There will always be people who don't accept the tyranny being dished out, human nature!
  14. Agree, beats the old Boeing tractor hands down.I feel for Airbus as they put pen to paper in the 80's! At that tme is looked like a viable concept to compete with Boeings now 20+ year design, the B747 so it was full steam ahead but by the time it hit the airways in early 2000's the business of flying was starting to change, bigger wasn't the "in" word not long after the Dugong really got its foot in the long haul market. Planes come and go all the time, big 4x gas guzzlers will be relegated to the annals of aviation history!
  15. I found the Dugong far more pleasing than the old Beoing tractor from a SLF perspective ?
  16. Well it's mask day today in the leper colony, will be interesting to see how the cops treat people, no doubt won't be fair in many cases as there will be plenty of power trips from this day on!!
  17. Let's just say that this won't happen anytime soon! Man on Mars is next, that's the time scale!?
  18. Byeeeee......Airbus, way of the future???
  19. Another quiet day on the R/T today, I could get used to this?
  20. Now I have got a headache!??
  21. We loose a 100 or so a week thru Bowel cancer, hardly any one batters an eye lid at that! The grubby media love focussing on the few deaths that they can tie in with CV! The masks just create another Level of fear & hysteria! Until a vaccine is found and proven long term this virus ain't going anywhere, lockdown masks or whatever other fear factor the Govt want to throw at the sheeple better get used to it!
