Well on ya bike Ian, bloody near killed me, think its was this that saved me .. the THUNDERBIRD machine biggrin.gif , the first watch did not get my meaning.

harm then Marty, yip just happened to bump into him and course bumped into Greg as well ...

This stage I was really hooking into entertain the troops having Virgil Tracey upstairs driving the machine in his blue IR blues, next Marty grabs me by the
collar telling me to "Settle Down Settle Down" arr all this excitement in around those big things with big grey thing hanging out to the side .

Well I guess we sorted out the name of those stairs James aka: Goingboeing post from the Wanaka transport museum a few days back. Its a ...............

I knew Caloundra was there of course - it is an easy 2hr drive from my place as I don't have to go through Bris-bunn. So are Caboolture and Redcliffe, but I haven't had an opportunity to visit any of them sad.gif
Can get there by train, too...Mustapha Luke one day. The Beagle 206 history was an interesting read.

You lucky Bu66ers !!! What a great day for it too. Awesome shots. Do love that C-17.
Man I really do live in the wrong town, well, HW seems to get to see some interesting aircraft, might have to get on his frequency smile.gif

Oh, and am VERY RELIEVED you sorted out that Stair-truck. No need to Escalate that issue then <groan> (had to get in before Ian did)

The insides, no not the cockpit .. but places were we are on the norm not allowed - the engineering ... the squeeze and climb into parts.

Guess that is now put to bed, could have been any thing ... funny what pops outta the woodwork ... least one thin Marty pointed out , exactly the two bumper bars on the front, rather rubber they were wood off all things... like most others , I've never heard of them but now recall seeing them regular ... what happens when air-bridges replace the traditional.

Globetrotting is where I've been... Marty that shot of you propping up the C130? In my vast trove of travel shots, I have one of those ones where you push over the leaning tower of Pisa...
