    yes - its hard to reconcile all the things we think we know NZ pilot - not an Oz pilot - worked for Company - got promotion - on the turps ? - stole - went flying at night

    misinformation ? ........... when I owned by little Tecnam plane - as my daughter was going to Maroochydore - I asked her to get a box of shell engine oil (with all the tech instructions) - when she was aked what sort of plane it was ......... she said it was a 2 door ...... oil was not purchased in the end

    I had to check ........... my informant tells me this pilot owned 2 aircraft - both Kappa / sabre - so that starts to make sense why there is one in the garden on a post
  4. johnm
    that pilots family still live at the address ....... you are right ? - it was a Kappa / sabre

    noticed a Sabre ultralight in a garden on rural res land (about 40 kms nth of Gympie) (can't get close to it - don't know its history) looks great - on a timber post at that - by the looks about 2003 / 2004 these planes were very popular and sought after .............................. sabre 2.pdf sabre 1.pdf

    in some ways this web site is ground level discussion about things aviation in Australia - facts, opinions, hearsay etc. DG (Dan Gryder) puts it all out there and its a good way to get an idea of things happening in a HUGE aviation environment - USA. I enjoy his weekly broardcasted report If it's a 'chip on a shoulder' or fact ........... all humans suffer that flaw and most of us will recognise it

    they need to give the commentator a banana or a bowl of apples ................ so you can hear the plane flying

    I can't se how domestic drone delivery improves society - perhaps a medical delivery ..... however it's a great opportunity for neighbouring houses to get in some aerial target practice

    interesting to know the logistics of the flight to Oz - the fuel burn comparison with say an airline jet that does that similar flight (google says the Eurofighter Typhoon burns 4500 litres / hour)

    that's a lot of motor up there

    ............... careful what you say about the king FH - we don't want you dissapearing on us

    we could put the male drivers on one side and female drivers on the other side of the road - that might help the authorites have created a paranoia regarding the speed limit - we have cars in 100 kmh zones doing 90 kmh to avoid a ticket .......... and a fair few other cars, behind, all trying to overtake that car Leniency has gone out the window - you are merely driving a machine that is potenmtially a contributor to a state budget

    I have prepared myself for the public flogging but .............. I always fail to see how buying a raffle ticket - somehow is twisted / seen / construed as supporting a charity - you are just a punter hoping for 'pennies from heaven' the potential prize and charitable component can't be separated. I think most see this form of cash raising as a raffle ticket - not a donation to a charity (the cost of a raffle ticket is not a 'donation' claimable as an income deduction as far as the ATO concerned ............ so perhaps ATO support this opinion ?)

    if you look at inaccurate google - your aircraft from the showroom floor is: a) an A330 is $ 250 million US b) an A380 is $ 440 million US - reverse thrust on engines 1 & 4 are extra says the ad that's a good price ? for both .................. if you get plane a) for free

    interesting comment that - would nt worry me (nor most of us) having aircraft whizzing around at a strip but bikes (in particular moto X) (road bike get an unqualified exemption Nev) any moto X bikes blipping (for want of a better word) all afternoon can be very annoying and tiring (except I assume if you are on the said moto X bike doing the blipping)

    no pun intended I assume spacesailor

    in 14.5 years I could be burnt at the stake as a heretic ........... but I think any person that thinks a future society will have flying cars must have a deluded psyhcosis that stems from the Jetsons - probably a parental / paternalistic feeling of nurture & comfort as George ? Jetson blits off to work. Tommorrow I am prepared to wager $ 10,000 that a flying car spciety will never exist

    Its great you can live in a country (Oz) - own a 12 cylinder car and get a pensioners rebate on the E-type jag (if that is true) - means you can still throw the lawnmower in the back and go out and earn some pocket money
