    The BOM can't win. If they say "Possible Severe Thunderstorm likely", and it peters out, they're blamed for crying Wolf. If they forecast "Possible Severe Thunderstorm likely" and a massive storm builds up in extra-quick time and tears through an area of the country, the people affected by the damage say they weren't given adequate or effective warning - while the areas that missed out, say the BOM was crying Wolf again. Storms build up quickly and massive destructive fires can develop within a couple of hours, and become extreme by generating their own cyclonic winds. The BOM simply have to cover their a***, and allow for the worst that can develop.

    (dear NES readers - I take it you'll understand that Cappy, being a resident of a particularly backward and slow area of NSW - namely the Southern suburbs of Wagga Wagga - means that he's also pretty slow on keeping up with many developments - especially as regards the development speed of the NES - so I trust you'll cut him some slack, for running an hour behind the last posting on the NES ......)

    ......been the main Dreamtime persona, that had been promoting Mortons Cat Scan. However, Mortons Cat Scan was superseded by the Dog Sniff, introduced to the backward peoples of the Eastern States, by none other than the famous Western Australian inventor, Onetrack. A Dog Sniff was immediately recognised as being far superior to any Cat Scan, because as anyone knows, a Dog can pick up a zillion things with just a couple of sniffs - such as where you've been, who you've been with, whether you've rubbed up against another Dog. However, when the Dog sniffed Cappy, he recoiled and began barking furiously. Onetrack said to Cappy, "He knows you've been using...........

    The manufacturer is claiming they will only be leased, not available for purchase, and they will only cost $15 hr to operate? I wonder who was smoking what, when they came up with that figure?? Of course, I guess they were only costing battery energy costs, they conveniently forgot to mention the $500 hr in development, repair, maintenance, computerisation, testing, and hull losses costs. See inside a new pilotless cargo plane, which has a nose-loading door like the Boeing 747 and can fly up to 200 miles WWW.BUSINESSINSIDER.COM So far, the company has secured over 80 orders for Pelican Cargo, and it expects the first commercial flight to take place in the second half of 2023.

However, there came the time when, as Cappy was piloting his famous J230 wearing his KMS's (because they were good for flying, his Elder had told him) and he went to push on a rudder pedal, one of his KMS's tore in half, and the bottom half jammed in the...........

    Spacey is correct. And not only info for your state of residence - if you're out of State, it's all there. This Australia-wide co-ordination came about when a double murderer on the run from Victoria, was pulled up on an isolated stretch of the Gt Northern Hwy out of Karratha, W.A., by a single traffic patrolman. The copper was innocently questioning the bloke about a fuel drive-off, when he sprung a massive physical attack, and king-hit the copper and nearly killed him. The double murderer was a big bloke, a lifetime crim, he'd raped and killed two sisters, only days before. But the copper was still conscious enough to draw his Glock and drill the bloke on the spot, and it was one fatal round. The copper was a firearms instructor, fortunately. It really brought home the fact that information on wanted crims had to be available in real time, Australia-wide. So the whole police information system became co-ordinated across all States and territories. But you only have to worry when you see "person of interest", marked on your record - or your car is marked as "stolen"! https://www.thechronicle.com.au/news/laura-and-colleen-irwins-parents-revisit-their-brutal-deaths-at-hands-of-monster-neighbour/news-story/011e20ced2378288b9a7f0c475a1d367

    No takeover of any Australian company by a giant American corporation, driven purely by profit, has ever ended happily for Australian clients of those companies. At the very least, the product is "watered down".

    Walrus - Spot on!! But you forgot the bit where "support" is moved from Australia to a third-world country, where the accents are so thick you can't understand them - or support is only available via email, or by inquiries via the website.

    ......round in circles with one leg in, and one leg out. However, one has to note, that thanks to some unseen forces, Barnaby Joyce managed to keep his pants on this time, despite being horizontal - which is more than can be said for his time spent in his office with his favourite staffer. The Libs have currently launched a major internal investigation into these previously unknown and unseen forces that kept Barnabys pants up - with whisperings in Parliamentary Liberal offices that if these forces could be harnessed specifically for Liberal Party use, and their use denied to other political parties, the ramifications would be that Labor politicians could be seen without their pants on, on a scale previously unimaginable, while no Liberal would ever be seen pantless in public again. Peter Dutton was ecstatic, this was the secret weapon he needed to take back the...........

    There was an error in the press release. It was supposed to read like this....... Continuing its focus on profit over safety regardless of manufacturing issues, and dismissing whistleblowers as disaffected and disgruntled employees, Boeing today announced it has acquired OzRunways. With this acquisition, OzRunways becomes part of the ForeFlight family, and will now fully concentrate on its major company priority - a 35% ROI.

    No. The only information is that the pilot was 47 yrs old.

    New Hobbs meter

    onetrack posted a classified in Aircraft Parts

    More information about "New Hobbs meter"
    I have a number of new Hobbs meters available - Hobbs P/N 169635. These are 12V-60VDC, are fully sealed, have 2 bayonet connectors, and come with a rectangular plastic stirrup to hold them in the panel. They don't have holes in the face panel for screws, but they have dimples indicating where you can drill, if you prefer screw attachment. $45 inc postage to anywhere in Australia. They're cheaper, and faster delivery, than getting them from the U.S.

    Electrolyte-containing drinks are designed to address a major imbalance in electrolytes in the body caused by dehydration. If you're not dehydrated, you have no need for electrolyte drinks. An excess of electrolytes in the body can be worse than being dehydrated.

    What has happened to Rollo McKinleys Aeropup manufacturing operations? Have they ceased for good? I sighted a news article in a Gympie media publication (behind a paywall) from Oct 2023, indicating that the McKinleys had been involved in a lease dispute on their Aeropup manufacturing facility at Kybong. I believe there has been a long running dispute over ever-increasing council rents for Kybong aerodrome and land, with lessees complaining they're getting nothing from the local council for the massive rents imposed on them.

    Ian, the membership contribution is something I think I've forgotten to pay for this year - yet I can't find any section where payment can be made, or whether one is up-to-date on contributions?

    The scene is declared a crime scene to ensure no evidence is disturbed until an official police investigation is complete. Police are eternally suspicious, and need to be satisfied that every serious event, from fires to death, do not have indications of foul play. If you've ever had a house fire, you'll know that police immediately investigate and interview you, and declare it a crime scene until they're satisfied they've found the exact cause of the fire, and there are no reasons to suspect a crime has been committed. Probably about every third house fire is arson of some type. Angry tenants, love triangles, criminality involving setting fires to cover up robbery or other crimes, financial reward from insurance, the list is substantial. Someone may have had it in for the pilot and sabotaged the aircraft, this has to be checked out thoroughly, the police question the pilots closest relatives to dig up problems that raise warning flags. It is part of police pyschology to advertise that a major event is a crime scene, this makes potential crime planners think twice about carrying out cunning crimes.
