Once you've finished your climb, kill the fuel supply and retract it back into the fuse. When you bear in mind that the average high performance glider can hold up to 200l of water ballast, that 20kg of scrap iron is effectively just 10% ballast that can't be dumped /smile.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :) border= 0 alt= smile.gif /> Oooh, so 20kg of jet engine and 180 litres of jet fuel maybe ? That's my kind of glider ! /cool.gif style=...

Drool... drool /drool.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :drool: border= 0 alt= drool.gif /> Yes , very Cableable and has proven to be off great benefits during multiplay and comm's across the board and since im so close to a hub . /cool.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= B-) border= 0 alt= cool.gif />

Did you ever have this fear of falling , Guess those SRBs are to be scrapped now and course the shuttle on return will become , well the fleet now museum pieces , hell off a way to get Hi !

He he imagine the look on the testing officer's face after rolling up to sit your restricted license in it!!! Priceless! Yes you'd be able to fly it, before being allowed to drive it! WOnder how it performs? Traditionally, carplanes are twice as bad as road cars, and half as good as light GA.

Strangely no one was prepared in 1939 , arrr that but that was because the big one to end the biggies 21 year earlier them whamo , Now NZ has depleted its strike capable force as with most the world declining , good way to save money , but what happens if it gos FUBAR! .. and possible threat ? I guess the only saving grace is no one can afford one. They really could not pay back then and really still in a way paying for it ,

Thats my boy /thumbup1.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :thumbup: border= 0 alt= thumbup1.gif /> of course you have a jump start...you have an excavator already! BTW your signature pic looks good.

Really nice to see the LAVs finally being put to some use...

Wow

Did you read this post Daryl?

I see! Quite right, it is an Air Tran. Did a little more digging, was actually operated by Ryan International Airlines for Air Tran (in their colours) for a year. you learn something every day, I never knew they had an Airbus in their fleet /biggrin.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :D border= 0 alt= biggrin.gif /> That plane has had a busy career. LACSA Costa Rica, Ryan International/ Air Tran, Atlas Jet, Airblue, Airblue for Saudi Arabian airlines, and currently flying for Batavia Air. Great photo

I like the "Boeing property" written on the tyres. They must be planning on touring some dodgy places and don't want the wheels nicked and the plane left up on blocks !!

Some of the replies have brought smiles to my face. One thought though, how many female members of NZFF are there? Good to read the replies, thanks for the advice!! smooth landings.

QUOTE (Naki @ Jul 4 2011,1:25 PM) The B-52 pic looks kinda wierd...at first I thought it was one your modified aircraft pics ..those wheels are are rather big. When I first saw it I thought it was doing a power slide! /laugh.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :lol: border= 0 alt= laugh.gif /> QUOTE (Splitpin @ Jul 4 2011,12:47 PM) One for Connor I like that! Even got a bit of compression wave going on! /thumbup1.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :thumbup: border= 0 alt= thumbup1.gif />

QUOTE (Naki @ Jul 4 2011,11:28 AM) ahh no.... Ahh no, your right. I'm getting my Norwegians and Finns muddled /blush.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :blush: border= 0 alt= blush.gif /> .....

Sweet, CS is the one I was waiting for (though there are a couple of others I wouldn't mind, and of course a 4th of July release for the NGX /biggrin.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :D border= 0 alt= biggrin.gif /> )
