Not even mentioning "global warming caused by tyre friction when aircraft touch -down" and hot-air exuded from stuffed-up landings, causing yet more secondary pollution.

Thanks Sue & Tomo.

One of the main reasons I asked, is that i've seen an early Jabiru LSA sitting looking like it had'nt been moved forever and a day. I'll have to check out the rego again.

As far as who should pay it probably comes down to who was there first & whether we are talking private or public airstrips. Certainly at all public strips the Authority should do it unquestionably, however on private strips it is really a different matter. The power authority will have easements over the land thay traverse, a "technical ownership". I have 5 power line easements over my property which excludes me from doing certain things within 10 metres of either side of them. I have loosely discussed fitting balls with them on the 66KV line over my strip & I would be looking in the vicinity of $10K or more. So it's not happening. If anyone wants to land here they get a lecture (from me) on do's & don'ts regardless of what experience level they have. It is not something to take lightly.

Maybe you should get all visitors to toss a pair out on finals.

Just tell them not to get too close

Hmmm. & then give all those airport operators out there the ability to send us bills for landing - no thanks

Ya gotta stop talking about me, behind my back, but i'll still give it

Don't worry Tubbs, planey responded.

He probably picked that word up after a nite on the town, but could'nt spell it quite right:angry:

Out of interest, I clicked on the aircraft registrations tab, to find that it only covers GA aircraft.

I've sometimes seen a light sport aircraft that was of interest, and wondered if there is an easy to use list, to find out it's type, and who it's registered to, etc; by simply punching in it's rego number?

Two people, a man in his 40s and a girl aged 16, have walked away from a light aircraft crash near Geelong.

A Rural Ambulance spokesman says the plane burst into flames after landing and was totally burned out.

It's believed the plane may have hit power lines as it was approaching Grovedale Airport around 11am (AEST).

The man suffered a cut to his head while the girl was complaining of chest pains.

These events are always sad to hear, but hopefully both P.O.B are OK.

We all know that power-lines can be hard to see, but if the electricity authorites don't provide markers, especially near airports, they have in my mind "failed in a duty of care" to take reasonable steps to minimise such events occuring.

I don't know whether markers were there in this case, or not, but I can foresee the day coming, when they will be taken to task in a court of law, and held somewhat accountable for similar unfortunate cases.

It is understandable, that they cannot cover every cable in the country, but I feel that a lot more could be done, without it costing bucket loads of money.

And speaking of Snakes-In-The-Grass, Tubb drew himself up to his full height, sucked in his stomach, thrust out his chest, tightened his corset, adjusted his truss, got a cramp, and added ".......................

"I've also got a stiff back"

"That's nothing, and is for wimps" commented Tomo The *$#& "Up here in the great state of Queen's Land (that is the little maroon bit up in the NE) we suck sav's, do things with sugar cane, breed Cane Toads and .......

Have started exporting them down south,as well as bags of sugar cane mulch.

The Federal Treasurer Mr Swan is looking at contracting a Cecil Plains entrepeneur who reckons he can build a cane-toad fence between Queens Land and the real world, for only 10 times the normal price, as it would also be an important nav-aid for flyers returning from down south, and making it his first great bit of worthwhile Astraaalian infratructure, and is in keeping with his normal budget restraints.:confused:

That'd be great the Nanna said, "I'd then only have to worry about big snakes in the grass, which sometimes take you by surprise:face and heart:".

"Where's Rat?" enquired another, but it was 7.30 pm sharp and the Rathaus was closed for the evening. The Rat was sitting up in bed watching old copies of Neigbours on an ex Wagga Wagga South Motel TV he'd bought at auction, munching lollies which he always collected from the foyer at the six months past use-by date mark, while 30 concerned firies/fairies/feyres/frees milled around the foyer trying to hand in their breakfast menus.

Many of us have stayed at some of these B & B' joints. Which really stands for "Bugger the punters, and what they demand, is Bull-sh--" while they load their out-dated lollies into their vending machines to make a quick buck.

If you want Foxtel?, simply slip a guick $50 bucks in the slot thats been provided by the management with glee $$$ :big_grin::big_grin::big_grin:.

However, the spokesperson for the Rodents Roxy Retreat Resort had a smile a mile wide, as they made a hasty retreat to the CBA to make their substancial deposit, accompanied by a long black limmo containing a whole team of musical gentlemen? carrying violin cases.:confused: and wearing dark glasses:cool:

Hi John and Sue.

Your Gazelle is looking really great.

You'll soon be heading off in the blue yonder, but you have to realise that the "blue yonder" was created partly from Johns necessary blaspheming when things did't go go quite as planned.

You both are to be congratulated for your combined efforts.

Kind Regards

Planey.

(I met you both in Ians tent at Narromine last year during a bit of precitipation, when John nicked the last of the biscuits, which I'd had my eye on)

That was great reading Jack, and thanks so much for posting it.

Probably, all the Titan needs now is another 2009 Narromine trip to get rid of the dust:big_grin:.

Kind Regards

Planey

A big :welcome:Doug.

Lots of friendly guys here, and heaps to learn from the more experienced once's within the ranks.

It can be addictive though, so it's only right that I should warn you :big_grin:.

Look forward to hearing more from you.

Kind Regards

Planey

otherwise he'd have to make an allowance in his weight and balace checks, and apply full up trim.

"Who will open the lock?" luscious Linda lamented lustfully.

Well done mate, but don't expect to dream about hot chicks tonight, co's that probably won't happen. That can wait for another night.

".......thank goodness for that" thought Turbo "the old **** has missed the real story" and he set about lining up a suitable response to the embarrassing exposure of his secret life by Dettol.

Just don't use it neat, unless you disire to join the Irish dancers for a jig, replied Planey with his voice of experience,. unless you have the but still want to dance.
