Just ask Schapelle Corby.

I think I need glasses. I was wondering for a while what you were talking about: Getting guine pigs from the black box. Oh boy! Nurse!

I skipped it. (It was in/on an e-mail and so wasn't quite as easy as "Cut/paste" here.) But I am sure any bloke can imagine what it was.

HOW TO SAVE Qantas Dump the male flight attendants. No one wanted them in the first place. Replace all the female flight attendants with good-looking strippers! What the hell, they don't even serve food anymore, so what's the loss? The strippers would at least triple the alcohol sales and get a 'party atmosphere' going in the cabin. And, of course, every businessman in this country would start flying again, hoping to see naked women. Because of the tips, female flight attendants wouldn't need a salary , thus saving even more money. I suspect tips would be so good that we could charge the women for working the plane and have them kick back 20% of the tips, including lap dances and 'special services.' Muslims would be afraid to get on the planes for fear of seeing naked women. Hijackings would come to a screeching halt, and the airline industry would see record revenues. This is definitely a win-win situation -- a golden opportunity to turn a liability into an asset. Why didn't Qantas think of this? Why do I still have to do everything myself? I would include the picture but I don't know if that would be appreciated by all.

With my situation now, OME: How about you just put them both between my eyes and pull the trigger. It will solve a lot of my problems quicker than I am doing now.

Folks, I wanna go up in a big balloon. Anyone?

Air Crash Investigation. Thought that was a no brainer. And you said (again): Yes, QF2 did send out a PAN - eventually - because it was landing. But they had already brought the plane under control. It wasn't EVENTUALLY. As I have alrady said.

"Executive discission"...... The other plane docked with the 777 via a secret tech' system They were boarded by a stealth jet and abducted.

I'll bet now they make it that the transponder can NOT be turned off that easily. That is one thing you wouldn't want to be easily disconnected anyway.

And I'm in love.

Oooops. Seems I missed it. Had I Known sooner, I may have gone.

But my question stands: Why wasn't it listed here?

Ok, I just heard about it. Why isn't it listed here?

I just hope it isn't catching.

And not only that, in the same area!

That isn't related to my post recently: http://www.recreationalflying.com/threads/channel-7-have-lost-the-plot.112553/#post-409191 Cos in my post it was a cessna, and in this it is a cherokee. What: Are we getting as dangerous as that other "land of the brave"?

Um, I am not trying to sprook my spreadsheet, but was thinking: (yeah, I'm an old fart. I think, rather than act, in a lot of cases.) All these programs rely on internet connections, subscriptions, and other "ONGOING COSTS". This program is a FLIGHT PLANNER and NOTHING ELSE! Granted, the waypoints may be out of date - it still has SLS in its database, but so what...... Also: Granted it may not have new ones. Not the end of the world. It allows you to add your own/new ones. It does NOT promise to be perfect. It simply removes/reduces the repetitive tasks where mistakes are sure to happen. Totally shirking the flight planing stage to a program is only asking for trouble. True story: I have been to Tumut a few times. I have a GPS, and a flight plan. The GPS has all the waypoints and was programmed by me. (Yeah.....) The flight plan was a re-make of last year's with updated weather. I took off and was flying the GPS. I was still learning how to use it, so I wasn't going to start playing with it while flying. First leg YWOL - SLS/YGLB via a lake which is between WOL and SLS. That is SW. The GPS was saying head NW. It wasn't s short distance either. After a few checks, I decided to "chuck" the GPS, and skip that waypoint and go for SLS/YGLB. Looked at the flight plan and turned to the heading written on the flight plan. What happened? Well, when I entered the lat/long of the waypoint, I goofed with one of the numbers. It happens. But because I had a written down flight plan, I had a better option. CHECK YOUR FLIGHT PLAN! I have another story, but...... That's a different story. :)

Yes, track, heading, wind, magnetic variation. Distance, airspeed, time, fuel requirements. You "set it up" with the plane's stats and it does the rest.

Hmmm....... MD11. I didn't notice the third engine. That usually sticks out like.... Well, you know what. And considering I noticed no cabin lights and so scanned for the airline insignia and so looked at the vertical stab', I didn't see the third engine.

Nev, This is a 737 - or what ever. I have SEEN these planes landing time, and time and time. In all sorts of weather. 99.99999999999% of them have: Landing lights: on. Navigation lights: on Beacon: on Cabin lights: on Identification lights on the vertical stabiliser: on They are basically a "flying Christmas tree". This one had the nav and landing lights ONLY.

737 I think. Big, 2 engine, turn ups on the wing tips. 330? 320? 767? I only just noticed it because I think there was cloud and I was more looking at the road than the sky.

Yup. I drive there and rent from Bruce.

Good to hear yoyu pased the test, nav etc. Sorry for the bad typing/spelling,but windoze is a slow machine and it is just killing me with my typing skills. Good luck and all the best for the future. I have to go to Wollongong to fly and that is 1.5 hours each way.
