QUOTE (Florian_S @ May 28 2008, 07:25 AM) Interestingly Irish Air Corps "161" is herself a preserved warbird....or should I say was. This is a photo I took of her as PV202 at Duxford (Spitfire air Show, 16 Spits in the air!!) in 1998 prior to the fatal crash not long after, and then subsequently rebuild as 161

QUOTE (Alfashark @ May 17 2008, 11:46 PM) Wow, it only took 70 odd years for someone to attach a pulse-jet onto a manned aircraft... Think this tech is a bit different from the Pulse jet on the V1.....on those there was a shutter which created the combustion chamber, I think on these the tube is open and uses some aerodynamic wizardry to create a pressure bubble for the compressed fuel/air charge

The Airbus Goose is a goodie :D as with the rest ...... 747 should not be in there ..... real mcCoy :P

stick to the correct speed and G loading and any aircraft can be barrel rolled - its really just a continuous climbing turn. I did read a pilot report of an RAF Nimrod being barrel rolled by the flight crew to 'mess with the heads' down the back as they tried to figure out the readings on the radars etc. :lol:

So does he log it as multi engine turbine PIC? :D

I'm just winding Keagan up!

Ahhh the infamous death-star.....

The 720 pictured above is the Pratt & Whitney engine test bed if I recall correctly and engines can be taken off and on as required hence all the protusions. Yes the Basler is a turbo prop DC-3

The reason fligths are cancelled is because sure, planes can take off, but pretty soon you start running out of planes able to take off, as none can land.

nope black tail I said

QUOTE (Daniel @ May 14 2008, 07:23 AM) Nothing is actually happening yet. Will locals trust them if it does return? Palmerston North will be happy but still cautious at the same time. They dont want a repeat of last time. Cheers Daniel Your absolutely right :thumbup: (and so is greaneyr). Locals will be happy, but cautious and I'm sure the ones who were burnt in the past with OzJet will be especially careful. Does anyone know if OzJet compensated those who were affected when they left? Cheers Anthony

QUOTE (Alex @ May 13 2008, 07:34 PM) For those with Sky, I think it screens on Discovery? (or maybe Natgeo?) - I saw a snippet of it the other day. :) Alex Yeah I saw that the other day.I think It was on Natgeo they made a lot just out of the jets them selfs something like 5 mil each.

A Boeing-Vertol 107 it twas

Twas me, yar!

hi again. Due to other commitments this past week I haven't had time to upload the videos I promised (tonight will probably by a no go as well) Though you can see them here: I will eventually add them all there but I can still upload them to here if you wish?

The sound of those beating rotors is actually seductive. I must be a weirdo! Too young for vietnam, but flew in them in the territorials back in the late 80's. As Keith Quin would say...... ohhh ohhhh ohhh

no I am in Wellington hence the reason I asked if anyone was in Wellington
