    I heard it is still happening.
  2. flying dog
    I have actually got one of those "doo dads" which plug into the computer's USB port and I get LIVE flight data. As I live near YSSY it is quite good when I have time to use it.
  3. flying dog
    Just watched it on the news.
  4. flying dog
    Yeah, I kinda regretted asking after the fact. Seems I am "not with it".
  5. flying dog
    Do you have a better/higher res version? I printed it but it is too small and if I enlarge it it won't be clear. Thanks in advnce.
  6. flying dog
    It is not fair how people are "taken" like that. I have flown with him and I shall miss him.
  7. flying dog
    Facthunter, it is a spoken joke rather than written. I would have thought that was obvious. But you know what thought did.

    I've just read a few of Phil's posts. Funny. One of the stories reminded me of this quaint fact I heard: Most men are bi-sexual. Have you met a man who hasn't paid for sex?

    Thanks. Now I need a bit of info about parking........ If I am a day tripper, I know where the parking is from a couple of years back. But if I am staying overnight, is it different? I would have a lot of stuff to get out of the plane and don't want to have to walk halfway around the field to get to/from the plane.

    What can I say?
  11. flying dog
    I may be going. Still not sure though. If anyone can help though, couple of questions: What time is the show supposed to start? Need to know for latest arrival time. What time does it end and I leave? Just in case I am only a day tripper.

    Yeah, but I'll leave it now to ACMA. I don't want to have launched an attack only to rescind it shortly there after. I have had a LOT of problems with this site. The idea of posting was - as stated - to warm people of the danger of going there and giving them your details. They don't respect you telling them to get you off their list.

    Ian, Sorry that wasn't meant as a "put down". Just I remember reading someone (maybe you) saying something about something. (7600) Allowing people to add events to the "list" with dates/locations is THEIR responsibility. It shouldn't fall on you to keep it up to date. Like that, it looks after itself and it lightens your workload not having to administer things. There shouldn't be ONE PERSON responsible. I guess a bit like the 'net. Each person puts in their part. If one person goofs, then no big. But if ONE person is responsible, and they goof, everyone suffers.

    Ian, I think your "system" that is here is quite adaquate. The site I am mentioning is hap-hazard and not kept up to date - despite what people may say. You said someone needs to take it on and handle it all, etc. Honestly, what is here is very good, as it is self controlling. People post things with upcoming events and dates. The more notice the better, but it seems to work. So I would ask: Why change it?
  15. flying dog
    ACMA are dealing with it now. As posted earlier (the link) the site is in breach of the rules. I have tried to opt out and it doesn't seem to work. I posted what I got back when I tried to e-mail them.
  16. flying dog
    Yeah, Bill, but now they "have you". You will be unable to stop them arriving now. A bit like Micky Mouse in Fantasia with the broom sticks and the water buckets. I have been where you are now. I had enough and thought I had myself removed from their database. I was wrong. So: Anyone wanting to indluge them with your details, beware that once they have them, they won't stop sending you stuff.

    The following message to <[email protected]> was undeliverable. The reason for the problem: 5.1.0 - Unknown address error 550-'5.1.1 <[email protected]>... User unknown' Final-Recipient: rfc822;[email protected] Action: failed Status: 5.0.0 (permanent failure) Remote-MTA: dns; [203.132.28.12] Diagnostic-Code: smtp; 5.1.0 - Unknown address error 550-'5.1.1 <[email protected]>... User unknown' (delivery attempts: 0) Kinda kills that idea doesn't it.
  18. flying dog
    Yeah Skeptic, but I am warning other people to save them the annoyance of actually being "sucked in to that situation".
  19. flying dog
    OME, it is a site - aeroclub.com.au - who suck you in and then annoy you. The site is not maintained, there is no CONTACT details. Unless you are a MEMBER you can't send e-mails. They do NOT remove you from their mailing list when you explisitly tell them to. I have learned that they are in breach of an ACMA rule - http://www.acma.gov.au/WEB/STANDARD/pc=PC_310369 And I would advise you to avoid them like the plague.

    Folks, Sorry if this sounds un-friendly but it is beyond a joke. A LONG LONG time ago I joined and had all sorts of trouble JOINING. After all that stuff, I stayed with them for a while. Then I decided to leave. I "unsubscribed" from them and I thought all was good. I wasn't getting e-mails from them. Now, suddenly, I am getting them again, and when I try to send an e-mail to them, it comes back "unknown user". There are NO contact details on the site or means to get off their list. If "you" are thinking of joing them, I would strongly urge you not to as the site is poorly maintained - from experiance - and I have spoken to others who say they have tried many times to get events listed and fail to. So really it is not a very good site.

    Howard, What's that saying about flying at night...... "If you don't like what you see, turn the lights off" or something like that.

    Folks, They are OLD - 1991, 2 and 4 - but I have "found" some EAA magazines from that time. Some/most are un-opened. I live in Sydney. Anyone?
  23. flying dog
    I was once in Paris, and decided to jump in the river. Someone advised me not to, as I would be in sane.

    Which is a segway to: Why did God only make one Yogie Bear? Coz the second time he made a Boo Boo.
  25. flying dog
