A the 900ft/min sink, one thing I pointed out years back was if you flipped a US NAVY USS Nimitz class on the, its stern 1100ft long plonked it beside the Christchurch port hills you would see it before those in-behind port hills , that is a good example how quickly it was dropping so for those of you who have hill around and you use as measuring sticks ... gives you a good idea the speed of decent.

Maybe its just me?.... :rolleyes: .... ...but I tend not to dwell on; "Things". I think that; "Things Happen", and its the way of life! My dear old Mum and Dad passed-away at the age of 90 in 1990... There's nothing we can do to change it... ...and I'm still here...thankfully.......annoying/humouring everyone around me!... :lol: ...! Paul.... :D ...! "Dwelling" results in "Depressing", and serves no useful purpose!...trust me!..... :wink2: ...! Cure: Cook yourself a fantastic meal, together with a cool glass (or two) of Beer.!..... :lol: ...!

Yes, I remember the time - there was some great music around, especially the protest songs - and back then, the air was clean and sex was dirty :D When did it all go wrong?

Ian needs a 1980 Honda CB900F. I did have a 1982 Honda CB900FB, it did come with the racing fairing , I stored that put the smaller semi race fairing , a good heavy rack with the ability to put on a pack , ideal for touring the country it clocked 217,000 km (135,000 miles) before replaced.

I think one of the biggest things was the depth add being in the ocean being offshore null'd it.

Nice post CP ... 95 isn't a bad innings , what an amazing guy. Weird thing is, well Hmm is the 747 going to reach 100 years, such a great aircraft even the early variants .. the cycle times , the updates and even the new aircraft .. really stretched BOEING :)

Young Munter, the cat door was for Mars' .. Munter has ripped in and out again , I really do like cats and city cats .. weird thing young Munter really dose get around, something I have never heard of is taken a four legged puss into the wilderness , as you all know I'm a real cat person , I'm just pleased to be here to be a Muntz backup, home away's form home .. amazing cat .. No wonder he is now well know thru the the block here .. do cats really talk to people ? , .... can't catch a bird yet .. but sure as hell a great fisherman . .... well maybe not 'Mister Fish' is in the premiere Fish...

I'm back into watching 'PASSENGER 57' ... surprised they did not make a movie called 'PASSENGER 51' :rolleyes: ... I could have been in it ...

The Ole BAC 1-11 really chews up the runway ... DC- 9 was in the same class, was the good old Classic 737-200 that nailed it specifically because off the wing design, all the little fancy lets make the wing move really come into it own , the biggest thing was most off the based theory was from the B-29 Superfortress , but the gap between the two was only twenty so years.

I like Sheriff Bart .. He only man to put Mongel Down ! :lol:

I simply love these types of movies, SI-Fi .. War and Weapons .. rather the soap box women's life drama , my latest paint is almost ready .. Hmmm maybe not , biggest thing is this is the word BATTLESHIP .. have an old movie here 'POTEMKIN' all pre WWI dreadnought stuff and the same caliber style movie as "All quiet on the Western Front" ... course my know with history and incoming painting ... just needed a break from the my norm .. again historical based.

Great post, I wasn't aware of this! Douglas sure made a strong airplane. There was a tale of a 727 going supersonic accidentally, in the '70s, and survivng. The "Sound Barrier" obviously wasn't as great an obstacle as everyone had thought.

Then I thought further: Wait a minute! isn't Lockheed Martin the purveyor of a flightsim which takes money by way of "Licence Fees"? It does bother me to be honest. I'm a civilian sim flyer usually and a fan of Boeing airliners, but as we all know they're just as involved/guilty of feeding the military machine. You can say the same for for brands of electronics ... for the un-educated , Westinghouse company make washing machines, oven and other house hold appliance's and weaponry and been making Shhh Nuclear Reactors since they were invented ... every has a finger into weapons and a...

I've already made weapons , even practice dumb mortar shells .. lot of other stuff :) .. these really are not models .. they are more templates to build on so in a way , if you had a UZI on your desktop (real McCoy) .. in my hands would build it very easy and frankly a lot easier than this , really have studied this and already modify'd it , ...... One thing it dose is give one a complete template to the exact scale, So with that in mind , lets remodel it .

Lucky Him and great bunch off supporters ... check the registration ARNZ .. Aircraft Repaints New Zealand B-)

WHITE HOUSE DOWN ... B-) Brilliant movie , my sorta movie, James Woods playing the part of the ... Well the could become Prez Donald Trump, think the angry part was because required to have a hair cut .. Donnie would have played the part so well but it was the hair cut that kept him out ... so obviously James followed the Don to get the mannerism and the feel for the part ... Five Stars for that man James the actor with a hair cut ... sure Donnie would have done an equal job ... simply the hair cut stood in the way, .......... one thing about and with this movie, they were trying to catch up...

There were no winners in that war only losers. That is also a good one Steve , after war, WWII the losers were in a way the winners, look how Japan was rebuilt very quickly due to Americas help and for the better, "Operation Vittles" the Berlin airlift, show's what comes from the military intervention from America, Britain and France and how siege city people really appreciated and hero's come from that, the lolly bomber. One thing even the losers were admired , how many people read about the German and Japanese aces or wanting to learn more about them, the interest in the hardware,...

:D .. Serve's ya Right Lawrence .. after all .. we are all utter utter Barstard's :lol:
