....serve sauteed onions with a side of cheap blended scotch. Which in my opinion is worth more than double what Tub's opinion is of Rat's hair product choices. "I know all about hair products" said Mavis "Have a look at this hair removal gel Ratty, it is just what you need for....

While doing the bus tour of the Boneyard in Tucson last year, I spotted a couple of rows of F-4s. Turns out that they have dozens in flyable storage ready to go for the next big war, and an Air Force Colonel whose job it is to supervise one being returned to flying status and test fly it every week, before putting it to bed again for another year or two. Will put up a picture if I can find it.

Take it easy chaps - Brian didn't suggest that he wanted the flying schools to fail. One member is no more important than the other, whether one runs a flight school or just flying minimum hours to keep current. The problem is that commercial ops really don't fit within the classic organisational model. Flight schools need to have priority for a number of reasons, but that doesn't sit well for individuals either. The whole problem highlights the fact that RA-Aus hasn't done particularly well lately for it's members, or for the industry that supports it's existence. Therefore, something needs to change and by all accounts, change is happening. Hopefully change for the better at the end of the day.

Do you prefer to navigate track up or north up...?
Bandit12 replied to Gnarly Gnu's topic in AUS/NZ General Discussion
As did a number of us I guess. I generally use track up because that was how I was taught, but certainly don't have any issues orienting myself or using it north up. But anyone with spatial processing difficulties may struggle a bit with north up for navigating, or track up for giving relative positions on the go. -
Not your fault as an individual Brian....but collectively the organisation and it's members if it doesn't protect the industry that keeps it going. Sharing an opinion and disagreeing is fine, as long as people are prepared to listen as well as disagree. Not saying that you haven't, but as I'm sure you know too, there are so many that just won't hear anything that they disagree with. Shane

I would be very concerned if I had invested a considerable amount of money and relied on my own flying school to eat. You have to look after the schools, at the end of the day someone has chosen to put their hard earned dollars on the line and as Turbs suggested, without the flying school a considerable number of people won't be able to continue their sport anyway. Without members, there is no organisation. Without accessible services, there are no members.

Don't tell Aunt, but I was away holidaying with Nana!

Sounds like a good circle to be out of really. Hats off to you Mr Tatlock for obviously not towing the line and actually trying to represent the members.

Nice feature Ian, and I have learned something about Lorem Ipsum too..... -
Welcome to the forum Paul - although it would have been nicer to make your acquaintence under happier circumstances. It is always sad to hear of an untimely passing, but it hits hard around places like this when it is through a shared passion. My best wishes to you and your family in this tough time. Shane

....the well-dressed '12. "Just the other day, I was down at the drag strip with my Datsun 120Y, in the middle of doing my first ever sub-25 second 1/4, and I was waved down by this enormous purple Telly Tubby thing. He was jumping up and down about not having a photo of my gearstick in his records, and accused me of fiddling with his books!"

That seems a fair mistake, and one that anyone who hasn't had a medical for a heavy road vehicle license in Australia could make. This is an aviation forum, seems only natural that a person would think of an aviation reference to most terms used.

I must have missed that post somewhere Turbs....although I still think that if you lead a few of these horses to water, some may drink. But if you suggest to the horses that they need to talk to a government department about water, they would rather go thirsty. You have a background in dealing with organisations and legislative bodies and it is second nature to you to dig a little. For a lot of people, it seems way out of their depth. The irony of having this discussion with you is that neither of us are current RA-Aus members, and therefore at present neither of us are at risk....!!!
