    DAME issued the medical, bunny cancelled it.

    I have had the DAME's opinion reversed by the bunny.

    Makes no difference to the 747. It is carrying the internal air and the canaries, what they are doing internally doesn’t matter. (Answer from an engineer, not a professional pilot)

    Journey into nowhere: [The story of pilot James Knight and the disappearance of his ex-RAAF Wackett CA.6, which crashed in South Australia in 1962, and despite one of the biggest aerial searches ever mounted in Australia, was only discovered three years later, well off course of his planned route between Ceduna and Cook] Appears In AOPA, v.60, no.6, July-Aug 2007, p.30-34 (ISSN: 1442-6056) This is the magazine of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association. Someone may have it, otherwise contact AOPA or the National Library.

    It is just flaring for landing.

    Lots of experience passengering in the 747 and A380. Both good, if you can be in business or at least premium. 747 always felt more solid and gutsy. I am sorry they are going, but the world has moved on and my memories are of a time past.

    I have seen some of those mad face coverings.

    They may be thinking of another persson.

    I guess I should add caravanning to my list, seven trips in twelve months. Bogged to the axles today.

    The stories of people saving machine tools really inspire me. I am fortunate to live near Castlemaine Vic where there are many businesses running with old machines that allow us to get almost anything repaired or reproduced. I recently discovered another such workshop full of specialist machines that has been less than 10km from me for 25 years. Even more important, we have people who know how to use them.

    Hope the vacuum is regulated. As an eight or nine year old I was sharing a bath with a friend when camping in an old house. It had a suction hose lying in the bath, through a hand pump, to the shower head. He put his Willy experimentally into the hose and I pumped like blazes, he squealed!

    I check the site several times a day and must admit there is les that interests me than there was a couple of years back. Don’t know why.

    Any excuse to stay inside by the fire.

    Why would CASA issue this July 9 for comments by July 20? It has been out for months from FAA. Very few aircraft will meet the factored service hours test and need the inspection.

    Mickey Mouse would fly that.

    No PA-28 180 models on that list.
