    It is ironic that the steel salvaged from the wreck of R101 may have been used to build the Hindenburg.

    The fatal chopper crash that changed Australian aviation history WWW.ABC.NET.AU The accident was witnessed by many and widely reported, creating intense pressure for something to be done to improve safety in the skies. "After the crash, aviation safety authorities changed the laws so that single-engine aircraft and helicopters were no longer allowed to fly over built-up areas, but had to follow waterways and coastlines. That rule still applies today." Interesting Statement -

    Hi Frank, that was a fair hike from your place, follow the Palmerston Hwy. Used to swim in Lake Eacham in the 70's. Used to be a Cassowary there that liked apples.

    In 1940 an air disaster brought down the government — but who was flying the plane?

    Just saying. Flew Brisbane to Newcastle Jetstar A320. Joined Downwind, Height felt under 2000, Turned Base and Final in a reasonablly tight circuit. Unreal turning that close to the ground.

    One thing always in the back of my mind. We are taught to use the whole runway and I do in case of mechanical issues. When doing touch and go's you lose that luxury. Especially in a students case maybe touching down further down the runway (Gympie is tarmac and in hot weather). Then operating electric trim etc can take time. By the time you rotate all runway options may be gone. When I purchased an aircraft recently I initially would land, taxi back and utilize the whole runway.

    A lot of water and a lot of Tiger Country and a lot of Trust in a single engine. If the noise should stop in many locations on that video the result would not have been good.

    Most important to reduce revs prior to changing pitch to fine so as to not over rev the engine.

    A nose wheel wouldn't have faired so well in the soft sand.

    The splitting of the site aviation here and non aviation "What's up" has to me disjointed my experience in the forum/s. I prefer it as it was.

    I knew a female pollie who got in under Howard (sounds interesting) with passion and goals for change. Was told to shut up and tow the party line. Right or wrong at least the Red Head chases what she believes in, As far as sitting in the RHS what better way to get a overall geo/3D perspective of where your constituants abide. I don't think very many of the public would even know the the plane she flies in is RAA, GA or whatever.
