    Well it is RECREATIONALFLYING if that's what you're after. To be fair the top end of recreational can afford turbines and come down another step and there's a group that can afford bitzers that do over 150 kts but are not up to the GA cross country aircraft equipment level and so on.

    ........other branch of the family at Logan were given a Club discount at Logan Fish and Chips. The Bogans were welcome members of the AUF because they scorned authority, and made CASA FoIs pay the $750 fee for a welcome ceremony every time the boys showed up for ramp checks. There was some jealousy from the general group because no one had been smart enough to come up with a similar ceremony. This came up for discussion at one of the ad hoc AUF secret meetings, and they members decided to develop their own Welcome to Country with a similar fee, because the Bogans always had better Drifters and Smik Thrusters with the latest updates They decided to .........

    Since you've attracted attention; shared assets can be sorted out proportionately, "No Assets" will be investigated, and where there has been evasion, you're for a higher place, and Assets might be needed if you are silly enough not to have PL Insurance. For the second half of the equation, you've picked a vanishingly small percentage of the population. Usually it might be that you just fitted a prop incorrectly and it flies off and injures or kills someone etc. Or you serviced an aircraft and sold it and two people died because it had not been serviced in accordance with the engine manufacturer's requirements. I posted an ongoing case a few days ago about a jumping castle accident where the castle had 8 tie down points and the operator opted to use only four. You'll be able to see what happens as the case unfolds.

    fly again. It was no good, he had no idea whether he was rightside up or facing the ground. Clearly he hadn't read Turbo's epic book "Inside the Pyramid". Suddenly the calm voice of Mavis rang out "Right aileron; more...more..hold it" and nose up; more, more - we're now in a shallow climb." Bull was stunned; the engine note was now normal and the noise of branches hitting the windscreen had died away. "How did you do that?" he asked. "Found a piece of string and tied my wedding ring to it" "But it's pitch black in here how did you work out where the ring was dangling?" Mavis wouldn't tell him, she was an old WAAF member and they had been trained by old Flight Sergeant Arthur Turbine who used to turn the ligts out in the Mess and .......

    Honorary board member. Not everyone knew that AUF bms were just Committeemen (so far they had resisted the Diversity that come when women start making decisions (other than their lovely wives of course). So the title was little more than a back-hander, but Turbo used the time to teach trusted friends the art of flying at night without lights. Of course the secondary Module had to be Short Field Landings (SFL) which today's AUF members didn't seem to know much about; If there's a runway for 747s, you can bet there will be Jabirus turning on to the last taxyway. The reason for the module was to make any collisions soft ones. Using just these two Modules the combined BSFL (black) ensured that CASA couldn't touch you. Even the famous aviator Bigglesworth, who flew from the east coast, over the dividing range with just a Morgan and a $3.00 compass was stunned to find after landing at Tocumwal, the parked Challenger on the last tee of the Tocumwal Gold Club. On one occasion, with no runways available and short on fuel one of the BSFLs, bull ............

As we came to each female Cappy would say "Nice XXXX". Some would give an inviting smile to Turbo, but Cappy's words were not always appreciated and they would give him a sharp rebuke. Somehow he'd equated a sharp response to the saying "Who's lost their pussy!" and if there was another rebuke Cappy woulld up the ante with............

Turbo wasn't good on history but didn't want to look like an Italian but before he could protest, she'd sliced and diced him and he was bleeding profusely but in the nicest of shapes. After a good hose-down Meg bandaged him delicately and after about six weeks Turbo was able to sit down again. It was a few days later that he realised she had microchipped him with the serial number of a Jabiru J170D. But why........

    So $10 mil on RAA and $5 mil = $15 mil? Sounds in the ballpark depending on the airfield environment, flying over suburbs etc.
