This is what friends are for Tomo, to fly your spare spitfire!

I'm not suggest it's hard to say the correct thing, I am just amazed how many people get totally bent out of shape for using the barely wrong, not 100% technically correct phrases.

Hihosland, I have a Garmin 96, maps on it are only 1 y/o, comes with yoke clip and a charging cord that I am about to sell. Have no use it for it any more since going to Ipad, it's as new and work A1. If your interested let me know.

Which one Ian?????? Have I missed that thread?

I stick with, Any one in QLD, I'ma flying 'n' you better not go a runnin into me! No I really second what Howard Hughes has said. There are a lot of people who get their nickers in a knot about if you should say "Traffic Location" or "Location trafic". They nearly pass out if you have been flying a while and occasionally let slip the ominous "All Stations"!!!!! Rules are rules and I know there put in place for a reason, and in regards to the radio for practical standardisation of communications between aircraft. But the real point of using the push to talk is to convey important information about what your movements are to maintain separation with other aircraft, not to sound like a bloody fighter who has no personality at all!!! - Who you are - Where you are - Where you are going - And how you intend to get there Hits the nail on the head for me.

Kick the tyres, if they dont go flat then all is good

There have been some really awesome suggestion so far, but IanR's is among the best (although I am a little disappointed that Kaz has not jumped in with Auster seeing as I did not defend it in my first post, which I should have! ). I always dreamed of owning a Beaufighter when I was younger. I figured it would be a far better way to destroy your eardrums than listening to load DUF DUF music. There a true a beast that have that odd talent of appearing both brutish yet sport's car elegant all in one. I'll take too, one for me and for Tomo to do formation work next to me in!!! (would need some good photo's of it in flight, so I think is reasonable.)

Yes it really is, I say we do it Tomo

If I was there Kaz, would have had the pesky Ipad up in running in ........ oh ........... 20 seconds!!!

It really looks like he is taxing about and then ......... the thing bloody well gets airborne!!!!!

To the very day I die, the aircraft that will hold a special place in my heart is the Tri-Pacer. It was the first real aircraft I ever owned (My first first was a 150, but my parents bought it for me so it does not really count!!!!!). The reason it is so special is because I bought this old girl for .......... $5K out the backyard of a deceased estate. Not flown in a number years, but had an all metal conversion for the skins and was a TOTAL delight to fly! I ended up deciding to re-build it after doing a whole bunch of hours in it, as a way to re-pay it's good service. I left america before I could ever finish it off. Still The tri-pacer is a top notch machine, worth next to nothing and flies like a DREAM. This is how I found it. And this is how I left it

Realistic is far to restrictive to be a concern on this thread

Me likeessss a lot!!!

Here is one for those not to faint of heart! The fu-25 Fletcher, it's not a lot of aircraft being pulled by a lot of 250HP. Thats gotta be a lotta fun I would think And for $155,000 it can be your's!!!! http://www.aircraftonline.com.au/product.php?id=1351

Here you go Nev, your dream machines. I gave you the ag cat with the front seats so you can muck about with you're friends in tow. Also found a nice sleek looking comanche, because I figured a refined gent such as yourself needs an aircraft that looks as good as it flies!
