Barry theres a super connie still airworthy here in Oz i think its based in Woloongong (great ozzie town name?) they saved it from the "bone yards" in the us http://www.hars.org.au/fleet/constellation/index.html Speaking of SAA i remember seeing a SAA 747 doing low passes over the rugby wo...

Hmmm so anyone going to ask why its been relisted? no mention yet .............. There s a hot '80 GTV in the trading post ATM in Tassie, 131KW haltech N/A nord, Zender bumbers/side skirts don't quite suit the old style front grill etc but it looks like a well sorted engine/bay. Hope someone buys it...

Just read the report Joey! Amazing, "when i slowed down the aircraft began to spiral dive(understandably theres only one wing!!!) so i applied full power with after burner to regain wings level"! Wish all aircraft had enough power/thrust to get away with that!!! Farrrk Talk about being str...

Nice pics Fedezyl,Barry i'm amazed at the F15 Barry, if you look at the touchdown shot you can see theres hardly any control inputs to compensate for the lost wing!!!! minimal rudder input and the wings thats still there has either the flap or aileron(not sure its an F15) fully deflected down!!! unl...

Nice, if you've got any more pics Fedezyl please post them.

Is this the one with the rear calipers mounted low, lower than the gearbox/diff for better cooling (i assume)? Had a strap around each side of the deion too.....?
like in pic??

Yeah barry please post some pics, maybe before (with flaws) and after with improved changes and explanation etc
Like anything i guess if you want to do a good job at something, gotta do lots of 'home work', so you do it right first time!

anything less costs too many $$$ and headaches!

Gee i've only seen one Merlin in Australia, plenty of Metro's, King Airs and some 1900's (C & D). Could you post some pics from Alaska Greg if possible, must be amazing senery and weather up there. I used to fly a Chieftain that operated there early in its life. It had everything, even deice boo...

Don't envy them Jules, being a cadet has its draw backs. The best thing you can do is head out west, up north get into a charter company and get some twin time up. This will fast track your career. Its a different world out "bush" you'll have a ball, flying all over the coontry, its a hard...

Umm yep that was a bit depressing..........

Don't feel bad Ben and hell don't stop taking the piss.........

its a great dynamic, demanding, challenging and exciting industry

here a fun pic to up lift the mood

"Nah, he's training up to be an overpaid bus driver... :P (Commercial pilot)" i don't mean to take the wind outa ya sails but....you need to know the harsh realities of what you're getting into..... With all due respect you have to flying a heavy jet to be on the big$$$ and the road to thi...

Its hard to imagine going into battle and you're dead before you've even seen the enemy.......certainly technology plays a major part now, not the pilots better eyesight + flying skills dog fighting like WW2 look at the first Gulf War and what the US Apache helicopters did the the Iraqi solders flee...

I think the f111 doesnt even have a Vmo just a temp limit somewhere on the airframe! Here some Dash 8 stuff some from Lord Howe Island, not as exciting as afterburners/missles. Enjoy the ride getting that airline job Jules as once you get into bigger 2 crew aircraft there's so many rules/regs/limita...

Hey Mezevenf glad to hear MD knows what a 75 boot looks like now

Very nice heres some more stuff......always read your NOTAM's Jules this crew didn't, missed the runway works in progress................ouch

I see, for the record it is an auto!!!! I already have a GTV and this 75 is my daily driver, I'm not the only one that drives this car either, so the auto was purchased because its a "transaxle" i could do general servicing on etc, very low Ks (116,000km) at a good price and a no brainer t...
