    Having the best welfare system in the galaxy, why work? Just sit on your bum and do nothing and get paid. Then folks complain because 'foreigners' come here, see the opportunities and jobs and jump at them. Vote me in as King Kevin and things would change in a flash.

    Well, let's hope they don't dumb down the requirements for obtaining an instructor rating. It's bad enough with teachers, doctors etc.

    If a 'sovereign citizen' is not subject to the law of the land, then they are not protected by the law of the land. Give him a good hiding I say.

    When I flew my jabiru back from Bundaberg to Gawler in 2009 I stopped at Broken Hill for fuel and a coffee. Nobody asked to see an ASIC and the gates were NOT locked. If anybody had tried to stop me getting back to my plane, it would have made the news.

    One of the problems with our Government and its various departments is that the folks running them and employed by them are not necessarily qualified. They are there because they know somebody, or because of their gender or because they are pretty good with other talents.

    I watched that, made me very angry. Too many pilots flying about that should not be. And to be in that condition as a charter pilot is criminal.

    I was playing about with VR when I was still working. Oculus Rift comes to mind. Anyway, I had to stop because I became quite nauseous. You can actually become car sick or airsick playing with that stuff.

    Take a BEX and have a lie down for half an hour. Works for me!

    It appears to have fuel caps on the wings, LSA55 did not have wing tanks. Correct me if I'm wrong. (which is extremely rare)...

    We have folks leaving school with rudimentary math and writing skills because some clown decided the kids will use computers. Anybody see those two women, senators I believe who struggled to calculate the total cost of buying 4 widgets at $4.15 each. One managed after a minute or so, the other had no idea. Dumbing down will be our undoing...

    I find it hard to see how one would 'slip through' the seat belt and hard to believe somebody went through the windscreen. But having said that, I find it hard to believe folks think the Earth is flat. 😒

    Well at 500' your with the birds and if the engine quits, you're options are limited. I like height, out of the bumps, less chance of bird strike and time to act if the rubber band breaks.

    One should always fly right of track so if two planes are flying the same track, in opposite directions and are at the same altitude, they should pass each other.

    You might find this amusing...

    Years ago I watched a baby giggling as a big hairy huntsman spider was running about, the kid even tried to pick it up. Fear of spiders is a taught (by our parents) fear, like many others. Fear is normal as is worry. They are one of nature's way of self preservation. It's when fear and worry become overwhelming or irrational that things fall apart. Just growing old brings new fears and worries as we become less able to deal with crap that as a younger person, would be easy.

    A link to the flipped plane... https://www.airhistory.net/photo/27966/VH-ASV

    Back in the early 90's I flew VH-ASV a Piper PA28. One day a storm cam through and flipped it over. I said to one of the instructors that I really enjoyed flying that plane. His reply was "Well, the main spar was corroded so it's no great loss". I was a little freaked out that I was flying a plane with a rotten main spar!!!

    I've said this a zillion times before, if our population keeps growing, it does not matter what we do with respect to energy needs, pollution etc. we will be doomed. Babies born today may well die of starvation because the last fat rat has been eaten by the starving. I'm sure glad I am in my twilight years and have no kids/grandkids to worry over. As for the Zenith flying medical supplies in the UK, silly idea.

    When I was working we would be arranging NOTAMS quite a lot. And as a pilot I never seemed to have much of a problem with them, even before computers made life easier. And that's coming from one who struggles with his laces.

    Maybe, but then again, many women are in power because they are women.

    I used to fly the TB10 Tobago and they have gull wing doors. I did wonder if I'd be able to get out in the 1 in 1 million chance I ended up upside down on the ground.

    If you can't stop spilling your schooner then the air's too rough.

    No, definitely a journalist. I'm no spring chicken but I wasn't around to hear Mark Twain make the comment.

    A well known journalist back in the 80s told me "Never spoil a good story with the truth".
