Not with axe wielding Judas Priest gangs but with what looks like a 402? :hmm:

Taxying 101..avoid poking the sticky out bits into Terminal buildings.

I thought ASICs were meant to prevent attacks using aircraft. :E

Any idea whose it was? And I wonder if his DAMP Supervisor organised a drug and alcohol test, silly me, I am sure CASA would have ensured that happened right away given how important, workable and OUTCOME based the new law is.

Not so socket - at the workshop I attended, we had a CASA doc saying that we shouldcarry around D&A test kits in the aircraft if we are in remote places and if we have a prang, test ourselves.... :D

An NT news story with no mention of a dog, crocodile or shark! Must be a "fluff" piece!:}

No, I am not a journalist, just someone who has spent far too long reading the NT News over the years.

Actually, I don't think the terminal could have suffered any worse damage than that done by the locals. :E:rolleyes:

To the terminal that is...
