Reduce to a low power setting on decent into the remote N.T. communities especially very early in the morning when it’s nice and crisp……………sneak up on your target.. .. .Just as you pass over the Tin Sheds at a very modest and legal “1000ft” plus or minus a few feet ..”yeah right”, open up the taps in a nice hard turn…..and give the donk a good old roar!!. .. .Some people cannot afford alarm clocks in the N.T. and do not have electricity, so Cessna 206’s can become very effective wake up devices for those who have spent a hard night on the “GREEN CAN” and have trouble getting out of bed at 6:00 am to meet their charter.. .. .Once you land you will be welcomed with open arms by the locals and thanked for you generosity and assistance in getting them up nice and early – Not only will the camp dogs go wild but every baby in the camp will also start crying and you will taxi in to a chaotic remote area symphony of cry’s screaming barking and verbal abuse……. .. .It’s simply breath taking I suggest you try it……... .. .VINCE <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="tongue.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" />
