The Captain was quite blown-away by this, and Locky with off-cuts of garden hose and orchy bottles in hand agreed.

Aviation Seductive Individual as depicted in my ads in Adutfinder, and the Aircrew Sleepover Invitees forums, she replied.

Thats enough of that retorted Bryon.

How the hell can a bloke look forward to Temora at Easter, when the misses thinks i'm going to spend the long weekend with kind souls from the Mission, cutting the grass at a Country Church. Nobody mention to her that the grass they referred to, is being grown by the Griffith Mafia.

They were obviously inbound to Bankstown on that track.

The main thing is that they walked away from it, and good on the guys who lifted the wing so they could get the door open, not knowing whether it was going to go up in flames.

Fortunately there was no fire, possibly too much air in the tanks, but that will be revealed in time.

............ because Planey came from Padstow, where the sensitve, caring and sharing Padstow City Council had converted all streetsigns to braile, and issued all those that qualified as "legally blind" with pogo sticks.

"It's been great fun" said the GM of PCC "Except after the 2 weeks since we introduced the scheme (which was subsidized by Peter Garrot's Edumacation Department and Pink Batt Emporium) there aren't too many blind constituents left."

 

"Hey Planey" called Short-Hop Sally "I've never seen braile instruments. Get it out, give me a look, and let's see if it will say Wollongong" she added.

 

"Are you sure that is braile? It feels more like .....................

it's been abreviated to me, from that much loved spot down south, without any stretch of the imagination:thumb down:.

The pogo sticks proved to be a great success, and were yet another leap forward for man.

They enabled the less agile to leap out of the way of the Granny Hoons in their NASCAR mobility scooters, who seem determined to simply mow you down, despite being loaded up with shopping bags, walking cane hanging out the side for the unwary, and the trusty Maltese Terrier, riding shotgun.

"Well there's your problem!" scoffed ShortHopSal, "You need to use the left one as every one knows the left is the creative side .... " :fish:

so many cfi's expect everyone to be able to see the port and starboard views at the same time, but we're not all capable of that.

Having said that, word has it, that some rodents are capable of looking North and South at the same time, (but this could be hidden from view behind cheap Chinese-copy Raybans from the markets), while it's rumored that Planey has a big advantage over many, since having all his instruments converted to braille :vis::gerg:

No further comments since New Years Day.

Just a few years ago, this would have been big news. Says something about modern ultralights!

Congratulations from me anyway, on a great achievment.

Any news about their further progress?

"Moorabbin Tower. This is Warrier ----- overflying your patch at 1500 , please advise on Ornotholigical activity in area, and wind direction"

That should do the trick.

"Because ....................... an Orse is an Orse of course, of course, and noone has heard of a talking Orse, unless of coarse that talking orse is the famours Mr ...................

Ed, the edumicated steeple-chaser who was always one jump ahead, like a chick I once knew, except she didn't talk about it much.

Meanwhile the Captains Irish Orse was led away to the speech therylypist to cure it's stutter, of course, of course.

Very sad news, but we can only wish for a full recovery for the pilot.

Thats certainly a cut above the rest

I'm still trying to work out how almost two ton of "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" managed to get airborne, with two adults and a tribe of kids while powered with a Ford Zephyr motor?

It's got me stuffed!

Whoever said flying was dangerous, has probably never ridden on the back of an R1 with this loony?

I'm surprised he even made to the end of this clip.

I just Googled it, and found this info that others might find interesting.

DVICE has a slideshow of 26 strange aircraft that, although oddly designed, actually flew. Among them is the Inflatoplane developed by Goodyear in 1956. This plane had an inflatable rubber body. It was small and light enough to be moved in a wheelbarrow. The engineers hoped that this plane could be dropped behind enemy lines for downed pilots to use to escape:

The Inflatoplane’s performance was comparable to that of a a J3 Cub. The airplane was wheeled out like a wheelbarrow and inflated in about 5 minutes using less air pressure than a car tire. The two-cycle 40-hp Nelson engine had to be hand-started and held 20 gallons of fuel.

The Inflatoplane carried a maximum weight of 240 lb., had a range of 390 mi., and an endurance of 6.5 hr.s. Its cruise speed was 60 mph. Take off distance on sod was 250 ft with 575 ft needed to clear a 50-foot obstacle. It landed in 350 ft on sod. Rate of climb was 550 ft per min. Its service ceiling was estimated at 10,000 ft.

Think you will enjoy these few minutes, Sound ON and make it full screen when it starts.

What a treat this is, with professional quality photography! Sound on loud to hear the Merlin engines. Get Full screen by clicking on the square with 4 arrows in the lower right corner of the video.

As brilliant as they are, they don't self-assemble.

Looking forward to seeing pics of the finished article.

If the good lord had wanted Sierras to self assemble, they'd have come with a white stick with a black tip provided in the kit.

One day a man walks into a dentist's and asks how much it will cost to extract wisdom teeth?

"$160," the dentist says.

"That's a ridiculous amount," the man says. "Isn't there a cheaper way?"

"Well," the dentist says, "if you don't use an anaesthetic, I can knock it down to $120."

"That's still too expensive," the man says.

"Okay," says the dentist. "If I save on anaesthesia and simply rip the teeth out with a pair of pliers, I could get away with charging $40."

"Nope," moans the man, "it's still too much."

"Hmm," says the dentist, scratching his head. "If I let one of my students do it for the experience, I suppose I could charge you just $20."

"Marvellous," says the man, "book my wife for next Tuesday !"

One day two friends were talking..

One said, "I don't know what to get my wife for her birthday. She has everything, and besides, she can afford to buy anything she wants. So, I'm stumped."

His buddy said, "I have an idea. Why don't you make up a certificate that says she can have two hours of great sex, any way she wants it. She'll probably be thrilled!"

So the first fella did just that.

The next day his buddy asked, "Well, did you take my suggestion? How did it turn out?"

"She loved it. She jumped up:clap2:, thanked me, kissed me on the mouth, and ran out the door yelling, 'I'll see you in two hours'."

Six munce ago, I coodent even spell injunear, now I are wun............

Looks like a North American Trojan to me.

14 to 16 litres of fuel won't get you far in that one. Stick with the J160 or Gazelle Andrew.

Guess who ducked away to see the cricket and missed Nev's posts?

...see, (or is that sea?) that someone is up to...

a little bit of scullduggery.

It's good to see a bit of young blood around here for a change, i'm rather partial to that, as it reminds me of my younger years said the Madam :thumb_up::cheer::spruce_up: who with her whip in hand burst into singing "Get em up, move em round, Rawhide Yeeeeeeeeha"

(Welcome back safe & sound Tomo)

I'm still busy There's got to be more to this story

Kind regards

Always sad to hear of incidents such as this. May they all rest in peace

A young man and his date were parked on a back road some distance from town. They were about to have sex when the girl stopped.

"I really should have mentioned this earlier, but I'm actually a hooker and I charge $20 for sex." The man reluctantly paid her, and they did their thing.

After a cigarette, the man just sat in the driver's seat looking out the window. "Why aren't we going anywhere?" asked the girl.

"Well, I should have mentioned this before, but I'm actually a taxi driver, and the fare back to town is $25..."

A couple floating down Melbourne's flooded Yarra River on inflatable dolls have been rescued after getting into trouble.

Police say the 19-year-old couple had just passed Pound Bend Tunnel at Warrandyte North when the water became turbulent and the woman lost control of her grip on the doll about 4.30pm (AEDT) on Sunday.

The woman grabbed hold of a tree that was floating in the river.

The man stayed with her and they yelled for help, police say.

A passer-by contacted triple zero and police and SES went to the scene.

A kayaker took life jackets to the pair and the SES attended with a boat and rescued the pair.

They were checked by ambulance officers but did not require medical attention.

Police say the fate of the dolls is unknown.

It can only be assumed that the poor lady got into trouble, after the doll went down on her?
