QUOTE (Efliernz @ Jul 25 2011,2:37 PM) "Christchurch has snow, it’s the icing on the quake" Pete , you could say that , rather have the cake without the icing , weather here will really put a damper on any fix ups here and course the cold kills .

Great link, thanks. I think they are fibbing about what's inside Global Hawk, though.

Having done security work for 22 years I feel sorry for the poor Noise Control guys that went to the initial call out. Cops come in at least pairs, normally more if it's a big party. Poor security guy is on his own serving the original abatement notice. I've done a few "noisies" over the years and being in a student city I can honestly say gang parties are easier to deal with than drunk student parties. As you guys have pointed out. It's our booze culture. Lots of public events are the same. Look how many people try to smuggle booze into alcohol free sports events etc....

Na-val Avy-atorrs...not pilots. Those guys have the Right Stuff. That sit up and beg is actually quite a low-g manoeuvre as the airspeed is way down, maybe 150kts. High-g isn't as exciting for the spectator as it tends to be high speed too, and moves out of frame too quickly.

QUOTE (Alfashark @ Jul 15 2011,12:17 PM) 20kg of turbine vs 35-40kg for the normal 2-stroke setup... And yes, 50-60:1. 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=...

QUOTE (cowpatz @ Jul 14 2011,6:01 PM) Not something that you would cruise down to Countdown to get the groceries in is it? A bit of carpark rash could be potentially fatal. 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 ,
