Couldn't have done the tyres much good...I was going to make an amazingly witty remark about needing FlashPlayer to view it, but decided it wasn't worth the effort. Flash Player.... ....Love it!.... :lol: ... :lol: ... :lol: ...! Paul.

Some people have mentioned that they maybe too lightly built for operators, but I think they should be good you have to treat it appropriately . One area specific was the 'rough field' "operate off unimproved airfields" spose wheel spats would be or could be a hindrance, I see the NB Islander appears to be a more rugged design even for its age .. wide span UC , twin main wheels .. I guess we will see.

I would be fascinated to learn more about Marty's (Splitpin) Russian Family History... :rolleyes: ...! Its a funny old do, but I always see my various USA Flight Sim Chums as being; German, British, African, Italian, French, Norwegian, Scandinavian, Dutch, Chinese, Japanese, Australian, etc.... ....rather than; "American".... :unsure: ...! I see them by their Origins, rather than where they are now! NZ: Anyone who is not a native Maori must have come from somewhere else......quite recently!.... :rolleyes: ...! Paul....A British Englander.... :lol: ....!

Cheers Ian ... I have started logging what i do during the day. I think the best thing for you is moving into this field rather on a worksite-yard , many other options may also open up as well.

Ooophs .. 2. Pilot flying’s decision to disconnect the autopilot shortly after the first master warning increased the pilot flying’s subsequent workload and reduced his capacity to assess and cope with the emergency situation. 8. Captain A’s performance during the occurrence was consistent with his performance weaknesses noted during his training, including his continued difficulties in handling emergency and/or abnormal situations, including engine flame out at take off and single engine operations. However, TransAsia Airways did not effectively address the evident and imminent flight safety...

Ah nope

I wonder if anyone was home , the second photo , would have made for a very interesting day !

There are people actually saying the opposite, which must increase fear and unease, and it suits the media to encourage this. But it doesn't make it true. Off all things, the one thing the Police picked up on or at least me was a couple of Warships, you all know, the regulars that stop here, ... when evicted from home simply Police said I/we Rick had a better chance .. around my first years off work .. I was 16 or 17 close ..... that was it with family , the biggest thing tho was I got targeted again around 19 or 20 , one thing due the the area I lived in the Policeman recognized me with my...

That is one scenery I simply had to buy, it was the my first outside New Zealand scenery I ever brought, I wonder how many Chinese plane spotters were pissed off with the closing and course people in the housing would have had some amazing views, I did have a book about a Cathay Pacific 747 flight from Kia Tak to London and back had some amazing city shots and the take offs and the landings... unfortunate was another I lost.

Looks interesting. Almost Identical to England! But England is far too close to the North Pole... ...and Kaitangata is far too close to the South Pole, for my liking! I prefer some where warmer...in between..... :bow: ....! ...and there is no way that I can spell/pronounce all those funny New Zealand names anyway!.... :lol: ...! I imagine there must be quite a temperature difference between the top on North Island, and the bottom of South Island?.... :rolleyes: ....! Paul....I like to be somewhere warm!.... :D ...!

...and more stuff relating to Guns, etc....>>> ..it needs the bloke in charge, Obama, to take a note now!.... :angry: ...! I cant imagine England being awash with Guns!.... :o ....! Paul. ...and more stuff in the Golden State...>>>

Think more OCD -- I'll get you started: For some weird reason I am obsessed with songs that start with ___ ____ '___'.

When it comes to Pets, and their longevity.... ...the reason why I have always liked pet Tortoises... They are likely to out-live me, rather than the other way round! .....Providing that you/I remember to take them out of the cardboard box when they have finished hibernating for the Winter!.... :blink: ...! Folks recommend a Female Dog (gentle temperament) for me, as company, but I know I wouldn't have the patience to look after them properly, so that's a no-no! I will have to stick to my Teddy Bear, Rupert.... :) ...! Paul.... :D ...!

I have seen this cover, never stopped to look at it, there are a few like it published along the same lines, I simply thought and looked people making money out of misery, I should have been quicker, its a photo .. I look at the real material loss.

About the same as you Paul, .... Today I simply walk around with my fifteen year old solar calculator .... just to be with the in-crowd :wacko: I am firmly rooted in 1950, Ian!.... :wink2: ....! I even edited one of my Motorcycle videos into "black-and-white", to represent the trip in the 1950's! ....In 1950 the whole World was black-and-white...trust me! Only "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" introduced a bit of colour into it, in the 1930's...for a while! Paul......Sing: "Hi-Ho, Hi-Ho, its off to Sainsbury's I go!"... :lol: ... :lol: ... :lol: ...!

.... :lol: ... :lol: ... :lol: ...! Always good for a laugh on a dull Thursday morning!... :clap: ...! Paul.... :lol: ...!

Your travelling about the same speed 240 km/h (149 mph) , those Honda CBR 600 could go like the clappers, I was slightly behind one when he took off .. he was on one wheel ! I was impressed , we were already doing 120 kmh , It took me 180 to start hauling him in, you can see with this choo choo it gives people a good impression of speed at near ground level.
