  3. Le Turbo , speaking to you from the headquarters of Turbine Olympics LLB, Paris, France thanks Le Capitaine for his comment and will reach out as soon as possible. Some people may have noticed a hideous array of inappropriate colours at these Olympics, purple tennis courts, puce rowing centre, yellow River Seine and was advise that the Ad Agency Manager we hired for the set up has taken indefinite leave to spend more time with his family. On the other hand Le Turbo has had some good responses from the IOC on his application for recreational flying to become an Olympic sport with just a few ................

  5. ......started when a member of this forum scratched his own, decided who he would pick on today and and suggested in Paris Match Au Line that he had been showing the wrong plum. He said “Parers is in the north hem so it should of been the left one” The thread has been going for days with one person saying you’re better off without them, and the other claiming that Turbo cheated.

  6. What was the typical number of aircraft in his circuits? That makes a big difference. In city airfields there can be so many aircraft that even though everyone is clipping their calls there's a problem squeezing yours in. At country fields there's often longer transmissions, asking questions etc which causes the same problem of not beiing able to get yours out. Mandatory right circuits should have been loaded into the ERSA for that field.
  7. .......proceeded to distract Cappy for the rest of the podcast......or as much as we saw before ASIO or CASA or ASIC stepped in and the screen went back. Turbine Black Web managed to get a copy of the podcast and were selling subscriptions so fast that by 3 am this morning 3,262,456 subscriptions had been sold. This was a trick Turbo had learned years ago when he had a modest website which discussed the structural history of chicken shed manufacture. Cappy was aghast because now on his Facebook page where he posted things like "The Gin Bottle of France" or the exciting, "Kapooka Trail" where he claimed to eat the eyeballs of enemy soldiers in front of them, was this HD video of "everything" He received an email from the Bombay Rifle Club cancelling his membership and asking for a copy so they could "Verify" it, and soon Cappy was "giving away" as many copies as turbo was selling, and .......
  8. .....that moment the mentally bruised Cappy, grushed because Turbo had missed one his most important posts and gained a "Post of theYear" elephant stamp from Een himself, decided to show up personally and to write another post "live". His tongue was no sooner hanging out the side of his mouth where Sara Havesomething-Else ....................

  11. It’s not going anywhere. Just people in the circuit all calling and responding in tune with each other.
  12. CASA is talking to pilots in CTF which is different to Class G. You are entering at formal locations, responding to instructions for position and radio and require qualifications.
  13. .....the company policy that required a profitable sale, regardless of any rednecks who didn't understand the basics of marketing. Not many people know that it was Jedediah Turbine, who founded the East India Company and appointed an out of work Sir Roger Cook to command his Army and Navy. It was Sir Roger who was often heard recounting, in The Bombay Hilton, his management of "difficult" trading partners. "The natives were restless that night so we sent a gunboat up the river and gave them a whiff of grape" This of course led to the term of being "Rogered". It was during this well-managed trading era that about the same time as the automobile was invented, EIC found ink as their Buyers CT Barnum and long jack bull (who used lower case to hide his name from the British Empire Army) were walking through India. EIC called it "Indian Ink". Taking their lead from Henry Ford they only brought it out in black, inadvertently inventing the KISS marketing policy. What they didn't broadcast was that EIC also found "Invisible" ink, but the British Empire's MI1, run by that little tell-tale rat Onetell forced EIC to only sell Invisible Ink to MI1, and it eventually took off around the world through the spy network which was like the Dark Web. It wasn't long before Invisible ink got into the schools and .................................... Source: Wikipedia.

  16. A lot of students go through training in calm air without getting a serious rotor, shear, crosswind gust and destroy the aircraft while they are doing a beat up. In this case there aren't too many cluse but we will get an ATSB analysis.

  18. ".....and they don't smell either." This was an unhelpful remark; correct medically but an adverse leading comment in marketing terms because although they didn't, people will think they did, so Turbo kicked Tony in the icicles and went on "...............
  19. That's pretty consistent with most outback areas. I've travelled on holidays extensively out west in NSW, Qld northern SA, and you can go through for 20 years and it's just red dirt and stones, but on the 21st you can drive for days through waist high wild oats, and get bogged all day long at every depression. On one occasion we left the Flinders Ranges up the track to Maree. A couple of hours later a storm blew in and vehicles started getting bogged in the dips. We made it into Maree and spent thr night bogged in the main street. Three days later the roads were fit for travel.In the other trips we've made to Maree since the tracks around Maree over the years have been as hard as bitumen. After rain airfields really need an on the ground inspection. I checked out the Booligal Pub airfield from the road and it looked perfectly smooth. From the pub it looked smoother. I decided to walk it anyway and it had big crab holes, some half a metre deep. On one occasion a Hay Council worker told me he'd followed the grader out along a track to the north west with a water tanker they'd bought at an auction. It started raining before they'd finished their shift so they turned around and came back in the rain. The truck had a Detroit 6V53 and Allison transmission. As truckies would know that's about the last specification you'd take outside Sydney. "After a few minutes" he said "the truck started cutting two grooves in the wet road, the Allison changed down to low and I had to flat foot it all the way home, the screamking engine left me deaf and I had to take a bawling out for leaving 80 km of grooves in the road which had hardened like concrete a day or two later. Despite the fast nature of a surface becoming unusable with rain in any district at any odd time, there are lots of times that the surface doesn't change for years, so the local fliers know what signals to watch for, but for cross-country fliers it's critical to get up to the day information because as OT said the airstrip isn't a priority when the locals know they won't be using it for months.
  20. The video I've seen makes some sense. The customer is standing out in the back yard. Presume he/she punches in co-ordinates and checks for power lines. Drone comes in with product on line, remote camera identifies the customer who reaches up and grabse the package, line release, drone flies back to base. However Autonomous issues aren't resolved, they just hope it's "safe".
  21. ..........convince the public that squeezing cats to get juice was OK because no animals were harmed in the prrocess. He'd backed that up with the spiel that "the science was in" and .........
  22. .....the cunning Twigster had smelled a rat, possibly at one of the nightly parties on the base when 700 happy employees feeding on a cattle station full of steak then hopped into the free booze and one of the 275 Scientists who was know for shooting his mouth off let the secret out that the green H2 fuel was going to cost $17.98 per litre at the pumps if they could get it there. The ABC had done its best, warning motorists to watch out for 700 scientists (the ABC likes the sound of scientists better than "tradies") on the Great Northern Highway. This was typical of the cyclical nature of WA employment, always offering the quick dollar but never quite delivering. Their parents had worked for Allan Band or someone who had promised them the world before Green or H2 had even been thought of and that other character ..........
  23. ...shadow of a smile. That was enough for CT of course, ask anyone who goes to "Parma Night" at the DG Inn. While the many thousands of NES readers are noted for their respect and tolerance for minority groups, it might be timely to provide a warning about Zarts. This group has infiltrated the minorities and they have some very dangerous backgrounds. It was Zarts who started the Russian revolution and killed the Czar, Zarts who pinched everyone's furniture and barricaded the streets on Montmartre in Paris. In the Indian-Texas wars of 1820 - 1875, in the Great Raid of 1840, Commanche led by Chief Buffalo Hump, with 400 warriors and 500 wives attacked a town and confiscated several top hats and umbrellas and were then joined by 500 Zarts who'd left their wives behind. They hunted the Texans out of Texas until the remnants of the US Army were able to arm themselves with the new repeating Turbine Centrefire rifles. It was too late though, the Zarts cross bred with the Comanche wives, obtained US citizenship and spread throughout the world. There were even some in New Zealand. At the DG Inn, Turbo had been called in to do the smoking ceremony and start the BBQ and he shouted a warning to CT but he was way too late. An over-eager OT had elbowed CT aside and was looking at the Zart with a silly grin. The Zart .............
