    Don't worry Kaz, I've flown with many a female pilot who'd do a lot better than me.

    I remember looking over an HP42 at Croydon Airport as a little fellah, though I never flew in one. From where I lived you could hear them warming up the engines for ages before they took off and climbed out, normally going over our house. The majority of the flights were with DC2' & 3's and a few DH82 Dragon Rapides. In those days they flew direct London to Paris etc: I'm told that when radar and flight corridors were introduced, if an aircraft went missing, it narrowed down the area where they had to look for the broken bits. Probably not true, but that was the story going around at the time. I remember Croydon well, and as a kid when they had an open-day was talked into doing a simulated parachute jump off the top of a hangar where a tough-looking soldier controlled the brake of the fixed line after I jumped. When I got home my Dad asked me how my underpants were?

    Be thorough with your pre-flights, don't extend the envelope or your capabilities, keep the family and loved ones in the back of your mind, and fly safe. We want more posts from you.

    I arrived in Majorca after a very turbulant flight in a Britannia with a case that was split open down one side. When unpacking at the hotel, I realized all my new underwear was missing. Had a good laugh about it at the time, as we were on our honeymoon.

    That's a sad outcome.

    My partner reckons there ought to be an antidote available for this site, it's infectious to many like me. You get up in the middle of the night for a pee and you have to log on to see what's new. I'm not complaining, I like it that way. Thanks Ian:thumb up: Rgds planey

    That's a light load Frank. You should take a look at their trains. No goats, no chickens, no mother-in laws. Should get off the deck in no time.

    Certainly wasn't mine. But I only fly responsibly, and have never flown near a nudie beach or near people who feel inadequate. (so far)

    Impressive! Innovation is what progress is all about. Don't worry Frank, all good, otherwise it would be in another thread which we don't want to think about.

    Yea Frank, all 4 of them.

    [quote="cscotthendry, I'd love to give it a go! You and me both. Looks a reeeeal buzz! Need a soft landing though because of my crook back. Noticed the jet-ski boys were never far away, which was good.

    No good for RAAus registration as it has four enjines for a start, but is amazing to watch in flight if nothing else. Maybe a future pro-jet (spelt incorrectly) for Mick. The Incredible Flyboard Air

    It let the all older folks in the area know that their hearing was still working! I always loved the earsplitting crackle sound when a VC10 was close to V2 with the engines developing twice the power of QE2 they say, but at somewhat different RPM's. The BAC Lightning doing a vertical climb was another good one, if noise turns you on.
