That is amazing .... imagine making all those seats ! not to mention the rest .

This happened on my ARBUST flight that broke down, a suit sitting across made right dork of himself, funny thing when plane stopped at the gate it was nice people who got super treatment and off the aircraft ... mister klutz in back was still ranting as the girl let us of first with big grin's on there faces , we did have connecting flights .. friggen...

QUOTE (Splitpin @ Jan 23 2014,8:05 PM) The air show may not happen now due to work commitments , Take a couple off days off, say your best mate Ian Warren died , I'll come up with the gurgling sounds if they phone home /tongue.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :P border= 0 alt= tongue.gif /> Arr the things we do to get to an airshow !

HOLY COW!!! So sad, I saw the news that it would take a whole year to come up with the cause of those crashes, All my symphany and bless to those families and mates in those aero clubs who are being affected by this tragic experience /sad.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :( border= 0 alt= sad.gif />

I spotted that , bugger others planned something tonight but sure will be posted later.

It wasn't until I joined up here that I found out... all too often. /sad.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :( border= 0 alt= sad.gif /> Another difference was IE, we called it a bull night. Interior Economy my a**e, how PC was that? Arr, things I missed out on being a young fella !

QUOTE (Ian Warren @ Jan 12 2014,12:18 PM) Arrr yes but if they are "buckroo's" and not strapped in , a heavy landing is going to cause a whole lotta hurt ! From what I recall its 20+Gs that they can take although they may not have been strapped in or been inside the aircraft when the crash happened.

Nick's reply is spot on. Depending on aircraft type an autoland must be logged every so often to keep the validation current. Also the flight crew must do one every so often as well to maintain their currency with them. Typical values are an autoland every 28 days for the aircraft and every 3 months for the PIC. When the conditions are around Cat 1 minima the localised areas around the localizer antennae (call sensitive areas) need to be protected to ensure no interference to the signal. On a VMC practice autoland the approach and or tower are advised. You may hear them respond with...

No room to run a trolley up that isle, i'm sure i saw this aircraft displayed ways back in 1988 at Richmond but course was at recent Avalon shows.

The original AK 47 was good in one point. There was no stoppage of the gun. In mud, in Rain, under circumstances an G3 or an M16 was out of order, the Kalashnikov still firing. The range was about 350 Meters, but at this it was inacurate. No two AKMS are the same. First if you got a new weapon, you must see if she is steering to the left or the right and then compensate. A lot of adjusting and maintenance was nessesary to get a real good AKMS. After one year i have a really good weapon, but than came the AK 74M. The AK 74 was more sensitive. We good two accidents with this. On guard and in...

Its amazing or a great compare to most just how small the Big B-29 is, a great photo to understand for the many and its great to hear a second aircraft going to be airworthy /cool.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= B-) border= 0 alt= cool.gif />

Keepers. Never knew that was a kiwi song!

I have that one on my shelf , they play it on New Zealand TV , the first Gulf war had the CV67 USS John F Kennedy and the second Gulf war was this documentary, run on the 60 minutes program i recall, CV67 is long gone now and CV65 retired last year making the Nimitz the oldest now .

You have a good one Jay /cheers1.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :cheers: border= 0 alt= cheers1.gif />
