    Thanks. At the distance I thought it was a C130. It's a conspiracy! I tried to load "Flight Radar" (the app on my phone) and it wouldn't load. I wasn't supposed to see it. 😉

    Well, I was walking to the shops and I'm sure it was. 4 big spinny things on a high wing plane. Alas I couldn't get Flight Radar to load quick enough to get more info. I am sure of the time as I tried to call someone I know who lives in your area who is also into planes. So I looked at the time I called them.

    I was out shopping and heard a non-normal sound. Looked up. C-130 taking off. Heading NW over .... 5-dock/Concorde when I saw it.
  4. flying dog
    Ah! That would do it. Thanks. And thanks Marty_d

    I saw it on the news... It's a 4 engine jet. And it isn't a A380... So what is it? All I can think of is a 707, A340 or a DC-8.

    ONETRACK: > Alan - You have to treat animals as animals, they're not humans, and they can't be given and follow instructions, as humans can. Ummmm..... I've seen animals that are more obedient than humans, and humans that make sheep look intelligent. So that statement isn't exactly true.

    *&*(&$(! I'm in trouble then!
  8. flying dog
    Yeah, ok, sorry. Got ahead of myself a bit.

    I'll bite. How can that work? Sure: When they did the fence there was a 12 degree magnetic variation. That was then. Now it is 16.5. So the fence won't run to cardinal points. Be they magnetic or true.

    That isn't an easy accent to shake though. Depending on .... Oh. Living in Oz for 60 years. Yeah, well I knew someone who was here about that time too. They had a heavy accent.

    Well, if you fly in circles, you don't get to see that much. I know that. :)

    Gee, I thought I was smart, and started to study navigation stuff.... try to get a degree or two. Seems I am not as smart as I thought. The compass has three hundred and sixty degrees. Shessh! I can't compete with that.

    I have heard that name before but can't think where. But knowing me, it is probably a whole other "Mark Bennette" of whom I am thinking.
  14. flying dog
    I am trying! I **AM** trying! But they are complicated things. And I believe costly pets as well.

    I'm a bloke and single. Why would I read New Idea?
  16. flying dog
    I saw on the news today that he (Mark) is taking a woman from Wadonga to QLD. He is in Bankstown. Good on you Mark!

    On a more serious note: I've been watching a lot of the videos....... I am not seeing the ailerons moving when the planes turn. Yes, one of them I did see the elevators moving, but only a little. I have watched planes turn, roll and all that stuff. I can't see any aileron movement at all. It is just me, or what?

    I saw the recent youtube clip of someone flying in Sydney. Yes it is nice and very much better than FS9. But what an insult to the SHB. (Coat hanger)
  19. flying dog
    HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN? Unless the plane was flying so fast they didn't see the balloon..... (Not really. It was a small plane with 3 PAX, so not mil' spec') The balloon was invisible....... The pilot had their eyes closed........ Shudder.
  20. flying dog
    Gee that is a lot of CD's - or even DVD's.
  21. flying dog
    Thanks. It does look nice. Probably as good as FS9 was to it's previous version. Though FSX was a big leap too. But wow! 150GB of HD space! And I would guess that Australia is still pretty poorly mapped. I really need to get back into that side of things, but it has been about 18 years since I have played with a MS machine for any serious time.
  22. flying dog
    Ok. Probably just getting a drink here then.
  23. flying dog
    Well, that's what I heard. Just asking.

    Talking to other people who live near Mascot, I heard that one day (not too long ago) the Antanov took off. It was bringing in a turbine for the "Snowy2" scheme. Did anyone here see it? I also heard that then the turbine had to be trucked to ..... the snowy.

    (Supposedly last week) A Big FULLY ORANGE plane too off from Sydney. Runway 34. Daytime. Who/what would that be?
