[Jabawocky]

You are kidding me.......It can't be......:eek:

You sure you are not photoshopping a soccer game to the Wannaka strip?

J

[PyroTek]

what?! wanaka has a strip and I wasn't informed of it when i went there?! geezus.

Flyitboy: go to http://imageshack.us (http://imageshack.us/) and upload your image there.
when it is uploaded copy the bottom URL in the text box (ignore the rest)
and paste it into the alert box that comes up (when you press the insert image button)

[flyitboy]

tnxs 'pyro' much appreciated

Why is everybody so clever?:ok:


F

[PyroTek]

flyitboy: many many, MANY years on the intarwebs

any word on VH-FTN? anyone?

[flyitboy]

'pyro' yr 17 yrs old for crying out loud(lucky bugga), how long could you have been on the web? You ought to be out chasing girls down the street rather than sitting as home staring at pretty ones on the net!:E If yr heading towards a pro pilot career then I can advise you to stick with the net, not too many have lost their brief over the net but plenty have been cleaned out by girls:p

I guess the kids of today have more 'toy's than we ever did ! 'alf ya luck!:ok:


F

[kingRB]

Night Mode - thanks for your photos mate, the ones from cruise & dawn and night simply stunning!

Please post more if you have them :ok:

[Capt Wally]

Pyro I see yr advice to 'flyitboy' for photo upload. I've tried that a few times & it never works for me. Had any luck so far 'flyitboy'?
The URL seem way too long for it to be accpeted fwhen I try.

Would be nice to upload a piccy


CW

[dreamjob]

Is it just me, or does CW and flyitboy seem like the same person?

[PyroTek]

flyitboy: you'd be surprised, i've had internet since i was about 6 years old, that's 11 years....

Also, I don't need to chase girls? I've already got a perfectly good one (off the net, but far enough away that i don't get made bankrupt :cool::p)

CW/Flyitboy: Allow me to make a tutorial eh?
I'll post it up somewhere in the near future and then i'll PM you both.

DreamJob: Same kind of typing style, I wouldn't think they would be the same person, to be honest, otherwise they'd type different, to hide themselves.

Now, on to the tutorial. :D

-edit-
Done! Click This Space! (http://www.pprune.org/forums/showthread.php?p=4003942)

[Capt Wally]

geeez 'dreamjob' ever thought that 'flyitboy' might simply be mimicking me 'cause to him I may seem to have a different point of view to some threads at times? I agree he does seem to write like me in some ways I've noticed that at times but nobody cares I'm sure! I'm aware that some have numerous aliases on PPRUNE but not me, there can only ever be one Capt Wally:)

Tnxs Pyro for yr assistance but plz don't lump me in with Flyitboy, next thing ya know i'll be branded another 'Bo' lover !:E

Oops!

Ahhhh, just checking out the Paterson's Curse in the paddock to the left of the runway, Jaba ! ("Overly observant smart ar*e!", the Mad Dr mumbles to hisself)

PS: Jimbour it is!

[PyroTek]

I was thinking that, If i wasn't landing and wasn't taking photos, then who did both!?, then i realised it was landing number 2.. i videoed it, however :P

[ABX]

Pyro,


i videoed it...


Well... post it on youtube and post the link here!

ABX:ok:

Capt Wally, can you explain why this post has "CW:)" at the end of "flyitboy's" post? (if you're not him!) :}:cool:

uh.. I think CW is saying 'whoops' now :p

anyway, As Requested:

Landing at Jimbour (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrdR6er6yT0)

[Capt Wally]

well 'dreamjob' I don't have to explain but seeing as you are on some sort of witch hunt here I'll tell you & others that can't mind their own business that 'Flyitboy' & I have had a few differences via PM's on some thread matters so he's signed off a few times using my ID just to P**s me off. I don't care really whether you or any others for that matter believe me or not. He comes & goes & and has p***ed off a few in here as 'aircraft' used to. End of story!

F( there, does that make us even now?):bored:

[ForkTailedDrKiller]

Hey Wally, that's the problem with having multiple personalities - keeping them coralled! The suckers tend to break out on ya!

geeez Dr:8 how did ya squeeeeze into a Mooney?

Mooney, Bo, Mooney, Bo, Mooney, Bo oh such decisions!:ok:

[PyroTek]

Capt, we squeezed 4 people into the mooney! it was rather fun

[ForkTailedDrKiller]

Wally, Jaba and the Chuckler broke the Bonza - so I had to slum it in the Bro's Mooney.

Had to have physio for a week to be able to stand up straight again! Getting in is not too bad, but I gotta kinda roll outta the thing!

Dr :8

[PyroTek]

stop complaining Dr. 'slum it in bro's mooney', It was an alright plane! Certainly better than nothing!

[Capt Wally]

b) I'm taken, I am very loyal, unlike most teen males.

You better be careful there.. :p I might post things you don't want me to post... :ok:

Hey Pyro mate

You started it................"it was rather fun" :}

J:E

[PyroTek]

True, I see what I did there!
Whoops, ah well... She is quite the cool person anyway :D

[Chimbu chuckles]

Jaba and the Chuckler broke the Bonza

Lets face it...the alternator karked it...who would dare suggest it had not earned a rest..prolly pumped more amps out than any 10 other IO520 alternators...prolly worked harder than the prototype did during certification 'testing to destruction':E

Or maybe, as the good Doc transferred pretty well the entire nav suit (2 GPS' and a tablet-although I suspect there were more:} ) over to his brothers Mooney, the alternator felt it had been put out to pasture and died of a broken heart?;)

It just occurred to me- The Bonanza gets called a Boner so does that make the Mooney a Mooner or a Moaner?

[PyroTek]

hahah chimbu...
I suspect the alternator was working too hard trying to power all of Dr.'s peripheral equipment :p

[Capt Wally]

hey Dr:8 what denomination Mooney is that?

I figure if the lovely is twice Pyro's age (by calculation) then she's still very young !:bored:

Something look out of place in that pix, not sure whether it's the church or the plane, 'she' can stay but sumfin's gotta go !!:ok:

[WannaBeBiggles]

Haha looks like Pyro is getting one hell of an induction in to aviation! Onya pyro :ok:

Enjoy while you can mate, because you won't be seeing much of that out in Kununnarra or Palmerston, where your first job will be :}

I'll upload some pics of 3 more unusual planes that I have encountered in the last few months on the weekend... should be a good distraction from sharp objects while I'm doing my IREX practice exams :p

[ForkTailedDrKiller]

Something look out of place in that pix,


Aeroplane, attractive young lady, church? Seems like a typical aviation scene to me Wal!


hey Dr:8 what denomination Mooney is that?


Its a Mooney 205, Wal - 1987 model (I think!). How do turn a Mooney 201 into a 205? Ya rip the step off a 201 and throw it away - goes 205 mph instead of 201 mph!!!

Dr :8

[Atlas Shrugged]

There appears to be a link here somewhere.

Who did the preflight?

[RadioSaigon]

Well spotted Nivo!!! That would be a PinC responsibility methinks... one has to wonder is that how the FT became a DK???

ref: post #2679, the character 5th from the left & 5th from the right for a further piece of the puzzle :E

ROFPML

[Capt Wally]

you see 'nivo' the Dr:8 was trying to see if his bro's Mooney was faster than his own Bo so he wound the Mooney up & sent the needle right around the dial:E As for the red thing hanging from what appears to be the Pitot tube? well that's actually a deflated red ballon from the night befores church party, it's just lying there on the ground, then again it could have been a coloured proprolactic (not too sure on the spelling & I ain't gunna check either!), used of course, but then again it's a Catholic church right?:E:E Oh those Mooney boys, would you let yr daughter go to a church social with them?:E

p.s.........yes well spotted Nivo:)


CW:O

[BEACH KING]

Ha Ha Ha.... none of these goings on were mentioned on the day!!

I'd say embarrassment prevented any discussion of the matter.

Shouldn't laugh though, I've done it once myself... although very very early in my aviation life:=

Chuck.. tell me about this talking cigarette lighter. Surely you talk in jest.
Does it like.... tell you that its plugged in, or does it continually annnounce the supplied voltage ... or does it say that you should give up smoking?

[Jabawocky]

Beachie

It talks alright.....weird when you first hear it:uhoh:

Part of the G496, even calls out your alt on approach.....500 feet the girly says! Tells you when power is lost etc too so if you unplug it by mistake or from vibration.

Damn loud that Garmin Chick, even with a noisy Bo and your DC's on you can still hear her.

I can see CW thinking just like any woman!!!!:D:E

Where, I have no idea. Probably Queensland.


When, was probably a couple of weeks ago.


Why, well, I have no idea.

Nah, on second thoughts, it cant be a Roo.... the panel's the wrong colour, and the seatbelts have been replaced by octopus-straps!

'tis truly amazing how many washers, nuts, bits of lock wire, cotter pins and, previously blocked, drain holes you find in the bottom of a fuselage when you clean 38 odd years worth of grime out of them.

Since I have personally run into a screw falling from an aircraft above, I'd believe it.

VH-MEP, Jun 11 1986, Over Ardrossan.

Result...hole in windshield and buggered prop blade.

Aircraft that dropped the screw was a Tobago from AFTS.

Some forums embed the youtube onto the thread, the code is eg. kTWOk6slU_Y It embeds the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTWOk6slU_Y so you see it just like an embedded photo so you can play the video from here without being redirected to youtube. It looks like this;

DI-yep, that's the easy one, though I am not sure the history of the coathanger... is there a reason we ended up with that design? Perhaps it was the same builder, or maybe it was a kit?

Lol, I reckon that old bucket of bolts would have dropped a few screws herself from time to time! Strange thing was though, when a Chieftain fell in a heap somewhere (or crashed as once was the case) or the Aerocommander went U/S, old MEP would be sent to the rescue. Even done the mail run a few times - amazing what you can fit in a Sneaker!

Avalon last year it is for the pyros, Aero 145 it is also. Ugly duckling but kind of endearing... any guesses where?

Even done the mail run a few times - amazing what you can fit in a Sneaker!
And it went the other way as well.
One day I'd flown ACZ to Adelaide on the regular service, tidied up the aircraft and went into the terminal to gather passengers for the flight back to the gutter. Upon returning to the aircraft with the outbound passengers I found it gutted!
Half it's radios were missing.
Seems MEP's radios were out for maintenance and someone didn't want to lose a days training, so they just stole them from ACZ while my back was turned.

I did five mail runs in MEP after ACZ had that little bingle at Clifton Hills in the hands of a current QANTAS pilot (not female).

Guess what, after 5 channel runs I found it is possible to land a Seneca gracefully.

Hmm, that must have been before my time. The old saying goes that you never land a Seneca1 you only arrive in it, but I have occasionally watched some good S1 landings. By the same token I have also seen some absolute shockers!
BTW was anyone watching SBS last night? They were obviously strapped for things to put on in one of the doco programs, & dredged up footage of the mail run that was done back in the days of ASA/Air North. Mango was at the helm that trip. Loved the narrator's pronunciation of Dulkaninna - nearly peed myself!

Yep, I'll go along with that! Saw her take to the skies a few weeks ago, wish I could have recorded the sound. Only other thing that can get me excited besides the sound of a pair of GTSIO's! ;)

Can remeber FIE when it was operated by Flinders Island Airlines out of MB. They had the Herald contract to Mildura and other northern Victorian locations. There was also a second one FID. Did several runs up to Corowa and across to Swan Hill, then back to MB, landing using the flare path! A real pilots aircraft.

[Dogimed]

FIE was *special..* I think it was the only D18S in country... 3 blades and fabric control surfaces..

Personally I thought it looked better in red.

Dogimed, great pics! One of the finest acft to ever fly!:ok:

[Jabawocky]

By the tie down area and the BP in the back it looks like YMOR perhaps.

I have no idea who owned it, so a wild guess is in order, and the only one I can think of is FLOPT. Thats a wild guess!

cheers,

Hmmm... a simple google search of 'weheka' answers my question :O

[Weheka]

Yes, west side of Cook, Fox Glacier to be exact. In the old days the township was called Weheka.

Begger it Pyro, it was working fine till you asked that question - then it sh*t itself!

Sorry Corkey, I just assumed the PM was from Weheka. You all seem to know about VH-KGT!

Somewhere I have a pic of KFT rolled up in a ball.

Okay, back to posting photos eh?
Lets go into history a bit (well, for me)

YBBN-KLAX during cruise (as they say about the AVOD system: "On Q"):

http://img260.imageshack.us/img260/1640/dsc02129ws3.jpg

Approach into YBBN from Narita (RJAA or RJTT? I keep forgetting that one, i used to know it before i found out tokyo had a 2nd airport)
This was in 2005 or 2006, possibly 2007, memory escapes me


http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/1249/dsc00139lz4.jpg
Would this be classified as aviation? My bird (old photo, probably the night before the YBBN-KLAX flight): He Is his own pilot! (he's adorable, seriously!)

A few pics from my wanderings yesterday!

1) One for Jaba - I know the call-sign (VH-WTF) amuses him (I guess he is just a big kid at heart!)

http://www.fototime.com/FBAEF86AF3E57A7/standard.jpg


2) This one is for Chuckles! Aerostar 600 Machen III - looks like an interesting beast!

http://www.fototime.com/52D6954A26DB530/standard.jpg


3) ..... and what the f*ck is this?

It landed at YMOR yesterday when I was refuelling. Sounded like a chaff-cutter - looks like a Pitts that someone took a chainsaw to and chopped off the lower wing.

Did some interesting gyrations on roll-out - I thought for a moment that I would get a really good pic to post in here.

I had a dream year in 2005, representing Australia @ the Junior World Gliding Championships, UK! The first two pictures were taken of me flying an LS8 'D4' while crossing the finish line, and the 3rd picture is my mate crossing the line in an LS1-f (the glider that I presently own part share of in Australia).

Great fun, can't wait to get back into a glider as the career is getting in the way at the moment!

[Chimbu chuckles]

No idea what the third one is.

Aerostars certainly look like sex personified don't they? When everything is working they are great, if serious, fun to fly too but keeping everything working is VERY money intensive. Is that an unpressurised 600 or a 602P with the Machen mods? The two I flew started life as 602Ps and then were turned into 680/700Ps via the Machen modifications. The difference between 680 and 700P is the props.

[ForkTailedDrKiller]

go soaring, your pix reminded me of the motor-glider that landed at YBUD yesterday - sorry, no pic.

Two people alighted - only one was wearing a parachute!

Another Cirrus in Canberra.... one could be forgiven for thinking they're breeding over there :suspect:

[go_soaring]

"Oh sh*t the wing has fallen off!
I'm outta here! Seeya mate!
Enjoy the ride down!"

FTDK, yeah something like that! Often the parachute is only warn for comfort/padding in the cockpit. When you learn to glide in Aus, you generally go up without parachutes - madness hey! I own my own parachute these days, so on all gliding flights it comes with me :)

Here's a picture of my old mans glider, about to launch @ Kingaroy. It's a Schempp-Hirth Ventus 2cxM. The engine is a 52hp Solo engine, and at MTOW of 565kg it'll easily climb out at over 500fpm (early day self-launchers always struggled to get this). Once at around 2000AGL, the prop is lined up vertically and retracted back into the fuselarge. This transforms the glider into a more traditional 'pure sailplane'..

You might be talking about ZK-FNX, currently on skydiving ops in the North Island somewhere, I believe that was down the ice before arriving in NZ. I think the original log books are still down there, in the ship which went down.......down there.

Is that Air Canada one for real or a good mock up in photoshop? Surely not real:confused:

[Dave Incognito]

If memory serves me correctly, it’s blended with a photo from a test where a bomb was detonated in a retired fuselage. A good effort though!

[notmyC150v2]

Dunno Jaba. Like I said they were just emailed to me.

I hope it is a photoshop jobby though. If it was real it couldn't have ended well.:sad:

[notmyC150v2]

Dave,

That would explain why there are all those lines where the explosion is but not on the rest of the fuselage. Very well done though.

[BPH63]

(old) fake. its a composite photo including a Air France fuselage being detonated in tests

[Hempy]

The last one is a scene from some movie whose name escapes me at the moment.

[satmstr]

i remember seeing a GIF image of that last image (with the logs) and someone had chucked the face of King Leonidus from Sparta on the end of the log...

[Cap'n Arrr]

That truck got Boned. Hopefully noone injured in any of these

[ratso]

Thanks for the mention of CJT.
Yeah mate of mine D.Brffa owned that 185 ...and yes it was to go to the south pole back in the eighties to pick up the guys who were retracing the explorer SCOTTS footsteps. When the ship carrying it arrived down in the ice the ships hull was crushed and CJT was hauled off the ship in the nick of time.
Soutern Quest or something the ship was called.
Briffa and I were both based at RAAF amberely ground staff in those days.
Many a DZ jump trip was flown in that machine. Briff kept it running like a swiss watch and being a LAME helped.
Not too many pilots were allowed to fly her as she was a real horn machine with a "HAIRY CHESTED IMAGE" as one young lady used to say
Glad to hear she is still flying.

For the sake of allegedly-good TV, they showed simulated cockpit views. Problem was, any pilot looking at those views would know that he was already dead: They were from about 1500 ft, when the aircraft was supposed to be at 10000 ft.

IO550 powered 1998 C210N - 5000', 2500 rpm / 24" (full throttle)


Was that the year it was rebirthed? :}

I've had 216 knots in cruise in a A36 (but dont have a photo to prove it ((but I do have the GPS log somewhere probably))

Bevan..

[StrutlessDrKiller]

Oh crap Jaba, I forgot about that day! Getting old ya know.

Well today was the 2nd highest GS in cruise that I have seen in a SE light aircraft!

Today was scarier!


Bevan, the 210 has 0007.1 hrs on the tacho!

Dr :8

PS: 216 kts huh? Don't think it counts without the pic!

[PyroTek]

Does mine count in this case then Dr.? :p

[StrutlessDrKiller]

Does mine count in this case then Dr.? :p


Pyro, ya 2 is a bit skinny - and ya 7 is crooked! Ya'll have to do better than that!

Dr :8

PS: The FTDK doesn't have a Garmin 530!

[PyroTek]

nah, your GPS was just a faulty one when it came out the factory, the LCD was incorrectly calibrated, yes!

(actually I thought my 2 was a bit fat)

but my 7 is perfect!

Wait a minute, 210's went out of production in 1986, and they were R models by then.
They never returned to production when the 172/182/206 did.
Someone's telling porkies here. :=

[Miraz]

Oh look, it's a man with a huge cock...:)

Matching collar and cuffs too...


(What have I started? :O)

[StrutlessDrKiller]

Lasio, maybe you and I need to have a serious talk!

That does not appear to be a "pussy" - shaved or otherwise!

Looks to me like a Cat - as in the Tom Cat variety!

Dr :8

PS: I guess that would be Puss-n-balls, huh?

[Lasiorhinus]

I thought we were talking about cats anyway... chickens and cats:confused:

Dr Killer, I havent had the chance to remind Jaba how easy it is to hot-start a Bonanza yet..


ETA: Is this better??

[Jabawocky]

Lasi,

If you use the Doc's technique it works well.

If you do it too well it revs to 2000+ RPM in a flash:ooh:, and ya cant get the throttle out quick enough:uhoh:. Makes for a good brake test though.

And next time learn how to sex ya livestock would ya!

J:ok:

[Lasiorhinus]

That's disgusting, Jaba:yuk:

;)

[tipsy2]

Stop picking on us Cats:=

And anyway, its not as though I had a huge amount of choice in my image library of depilated felines... I really didnt look that closely. Its not as though I spend my days around the lower halves of animals..:E
