Thanks turboplanner, I think this where Chris SS is going. Why have this forum if we cannot discuss, debate & learn. If there is something to learn from this I would certainly want to learn sooner rather than later. I also understand that for most this would still be rather raw especially for family & friends but the idea of this forum is to spread knowledge so that others do not make the same mistake if indeed a mistake has been made. Not to put blame on those that cannot defend themselves. Lastley my condolences to the family & friends we have all lost fellow aviators.

I was told, over the Christmas holidays by a visiting Kiwi pilot that they, including this pilot, had a restricted medical that had similar flying restrictions to ours without the AvMed restrictions. I will contact him shortly and get further detail.

Here we go again, another talk fest, waste of tax payers money to find out what we already know and then to use some flimsy detail to maintain the status quo. How much info do they need, the FAA did research and made changes as did the UKCAA, the NZCAA and I am sure there are more countries that have also made similar changes and add to that data from our own RA-Aus. AOPA has already had a talk with them and put forward a proposal which I believe most are happy with. Come on Mr CASA enough stalling lets see some positive action NOW!!!

Hi cscotthendry, Yes we were told the changes were from CASA and we understand the position you folks were in and accepted it as such. Make no mistake we still had a good time and thank you guys for putting on an excellent show. As the Big man said "I will be back" Cheers Dave B.

Must agree it was a Great Show and enjoyed our week end amongst fellow aviators and aircraft. Like Blueadventures we were a little annoyed regarding the under wing camping. We arrived on the Friday and at first we were told we could camp under the wing then we could not then we could but could not stay at our tent/aircraft during show then tent and us had to move. A site dedicated to the Under Wing Campers would have been great. But this was a minor inconvenience It was still an excellent week end away.

Heard on the radio this afternoon a Tiger ended up on it's back at Redcliffe??

Hi DGL, We are all nice fellows and Yes you find us every where now

Hi Ryan, Make contact when you arrive, there is a growing group of ex-pat pilots here in Brissy

When I learned to fly back in South Africa in 1983 full spin training was part of the syllabus. We did spins in pa28-140's, C150's, C172's and others. It was removed from the syllabus around 1985 unless done in a certified aerobatic aircraft, only incipient spins taught now.

Guys lets give these guys a break. I for one complain that we have very few destinations in south east QLD where we just jump in a plane and shoot off to another airfield, have a $100-00 hamburger and meet with like minded folks. Some of us have been begging for this type of thing for ages, lets support this and others in our neighbourhood. Weather permitting will see you tomorrow. Dave B. (VH-WPL)

This is the correct one
