    We have a number of 3D printers at work, some quite large and expensive. I do find it weird that folks will spend 4 hours getting something printed when the same part can be made in the machine shop in 30 minutes and do exactly the same job, especially when material and weight are not an issue. Perhaps the sound of the printer running is the key? It is quite musical.

    The problem these days is we have too many folks in positions but lacking any qualifications to do their job. Tree-huggers, flat-earthers and herbivores taking over the world and making it hard for the rest of us....

    That was worth watching!

    Can't really comment because I'm not aware of the underlying issues. But, having said that it is a shame it's happened. I do know some councils behave the way they do simply out of spite.

    I understand why most of his teeth are missing. Most annoying little man ever....

    If you join on the dead side at 1500 you may conflict with traffic departing overhead. I was taught to join on the dead side at circuit height.

    From what I understand, they had to be freed from the aircraft. Hate those canopies that can trap you if your plane flips.

    I have not read the many responses to this post but do need to say this. Nobody wants to dogfight anymore. They all want to fire off their missiles and get the hell out of danger. Be it ASRAAM, AMRAAM or AIM9 - launch it and bugger off.

    Landing in Canola is like landing in wire netting. I'll take the wheat anytime....

    When I suggest Oz-Runways could have a warning about busting last light I am NOT suggesting flight planning etc. should be ignored. I'm old school. I use maps and a compass, steam gauges, ground-speed-distance calculations with a whizz-wheel when I do a nav. I bet half the pilots flying RAAus wouldn't be doing so. Can I ask this; Do you who use Oz-Runways have a track on a map in case your iPad dies?

    If you catch the thief, give him a kick in the face for me...

    A lot of pilots use Oz-Runways with their iPads. Maybe a big red warning should flash up if it detects that a pilot is going to bust last light.

    The Glassair will kill you quicker too if you're not real careful.

    So, does this write all its data to a file? That would be VERY useful in a post crash investigation.
  16. Jabiru7252
    That sounds like you're blaming the system. If a fool flies at night without a rating and/or in a unrated aircraft, then that's their stupidity.

    If they departed William Creek at 4pm for Leigh Creek, 150nm away, I would imagine it getting dark by the time they arrived.
  18. Jabiru7252
    I believe Parafield training operators were looking at using Leigh Creek some time ago.

    So, I guess "Ten Four Good Buddy" is ruled out?

    Hi Bruce. I own my house, lock, stock and two smoking barrels but I cannot do any electrical work on it. The rules are there to protect others rather than the owners. It would scare the cr*p out of me if pilot/owners could do all the work they wanted because there are so many who 'think' they know what they are doing. One only has to read some of the posts on this forum to see what I mean. I dislike 'nanny' state situations but we see all the time that a few stupid people ruin things for the majority. Try working where I work, 1 day course to use the pencil sharpener and another to use the 'sharp' pencil...

    Good Grief, that's 20 a week for twenty years

    Yes. In fact I had two friends who were confined to wheelchairs. Doesn't change my views on a crap insurance system.
