Whoops got my turboprops wrong .........yes it was an Alison 250 not a LTP-101...there is a version of the Aermacchi SF-260 (which is about the same size as an Airtrainer) with an Alison (now Rolls Royce) turboprop.

We also have testing officers in each club. Modellers are encouraged to get their "Wings Badge" in various disciplines. We are tested on basic club rules as well as watched as we pre-flight a model. Then we have a flight-test of the basics. Nothing difficult - just encouraging safe practices. Wings badges cover disciplines such as Jet / turbines, fast (pyplon racing), aerobatics, gliding, helicopters and large models. We also used to have "Instructors" cards (which I used to hold at my old club 10 years ago). Many of the rallies require you to have a Wings Badge - or fly...

Over here in Perth they are relaying the main runway. They are doing it during the day, closing the main runway for 12 hours from 7 to 7. The second runway cannot handle 747's or 340's so during the times they need to use the runways outside of those times they are using ramps to cover the uneven parts (raising it 6cm). They're also closing the airport for two Sundays while they do the intersection. Perth is also a nominated 380 diversion (we've already had one divert), so I assume they should be able to get these ramps up if required in a hurry.

However, I see an opening here for me, I could have become the Gavin Conroy ( ) of frog photography..., only trouble is I don't know where the little bugger went to 5 minutes after I took the shot... /angry.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :angry: border= 0 alt= angry.gif /> /laugh.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :lol: border= 0 alt= laugh.gif /> worth thinking about Bazza.

Thanx for the comments guys. Ian, I am planning to head over on Sunday, see you there hopefully. Jimmy, thanx for the suggestion re Thai, will have to talk to our travel organiser and get on the BKK flight next time (am heading back there in April by the looks). And yeah we had a great time once the work was over, the conference venue had its own skifield which we used one afternoon for free, then on the weekend we went up to Hemesdal ski field for two days of glorious packed powder action. Was great fun, even tho the temp was down around -25 most of the time /blink.gif style=...

Interesting stuff!! Urk. Not so much interesting as frightening... /sad.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :( border= 0 alt= sad.gif />

I was flying in the vicinity of Hampten Downs on that Sunday and saw a whole heap of Wardbird aircraft heading overhead- the Mustang just took off as I landed back at Ardy around 4pm ish- sounded beautiful! Also, does anyone know what car show was on this long weekend just gone? There tons and tons of classic old American beasts out around East Auckland, wondered if they were heading to the 4's and Rotary thing at Greenlane?
