    I thought that was "is it in?"

    Checked again and there is a very significant reduction in load time.

    Seems to load a bit quicker for me this morning, but imagination can lead one astray.

    Is the surname Fartz?

    My god, it could have flown through the cab window and decapitated the driver. Hang him! (P.S. I actually do think the guy is a dickhead and shouldn't be doing that sort of thing without explicit permission, assuming he wasn't of course)

    Hopefully this slithering and wiggling isn't prophetic. Its hard for a cynic like me to see the good side.

    My first impression on reading about it was "pie in the sky"....and for 130k? Unlikely. I'd have placed more faith in DeLorean.

    Am I insured?

    I'm over apologizing to minorities.

    That's assuming that what I found on the Internet was correct. It always seems odd to me that when these videos are posted on YouTube, people don't think to include info on the aircraft specs. Not sure about the two-stroke. Although nothing is stated in the specs of that link, there is a photo which seems to show pushrods and an overhead/sidevalve rocker cover

    This quote from another site explains what I believe you should be looking for: FM (30-88 MHz) - These frequencies have traditionally been used by ground or surface forces, and you'll most likely find them used by aircraft which interact closely with such forces. Helicopters and close air support aircraft like the A-10 are the most likely to make use of this band. This band is also shared with a multitude of other services. The 30-50 is the VHF-Low land mobile band, filled with sheriffs and cement trucks. 50-54 is occupied by amateur radio (on a shared basis), 54-72, and 76-88 are TV channels, and 72-76 is more land mobile. Most military ops are found in set-aside federal segments of this band, including 32-33, 34-35, 36-37, 38-39, and 40-42 MHz. Even so, some units regular operate in the low 50s to the upper 60's. Most units will keep their frequencies within a few MHz of each other because of the differences in antenna length/impedance over this range.

    The centre unit is a VHF FM channelized radio, not something normally found on a civil aircraft. The right hand unit could be a comms switching panel, but its near impossible to make out the markings.

    Perfection would require c/r props and a turbine :-)

    One has to wonder what else was going on for them to land at Goose Bay. It is/will be a logistical nightmare, but presumably there were safety issues that over rode any other concerns.

    G1+ a handful? Pilot is reportedly Alfred Grislawski. Alfred Grislawski - Wikipedia

    Oh dear, the old ones are coming out now.

    Obviously an expert policeman on the ground there: “It looks at this stage as though the pilot had been attempting an emergency landing,” Sgt Hellier said. “We might know more when the Melbourne investigators arrive and recover the glider’s black box”."

    MK IIa or later with those cannons.

    Looking at the still composite photo, I don't see any tell tale signs of somebody pulling hard. It would depend on the humidity, but I'd expect to see something.

    Seems that CASA haven't kept up with trends in the fashion world. Skinny chicks are out.

    I'm sure that he won't entertain a mis-matched engine.
