Is this why CASA want META data? :{ Already IN USA and Europe !! :ok::ok::ok:


Been offered in a handful of cities so far – so riding in an UberCHOPPER would most certainly give you several weeks of bragging rights.

Where is UberCHOPPER Available and for How Much?

Passé ..

Reg Ansett had his own helo .. Cal (his pilot) would pick him up in the morning .. take him into Melbourne .. and then home at night.

The Abeles and Murdoch mob sold it out from under him to get him out of the office.

Cal and I did the 727 school together years ago ... lots of interesting corporate stories ..

Nobody could say "ALPHA NOVEMBER DELTA" like Cal could.

Reg also had a big Cadillac (?) from memory, that used to follow the helicopter home?

This is how it 'worked' in Sunny Perth.....

The ride may have been 'free', but, it cost everyone who rang on the 'al capone' $1 / bid on the app.... Sneaky..??

No Cheers:p

TAA fixed Reg's little red wagon with his helipad on the roof at the corner of Swanston and Franklin by sticking a 15 storey building just on the other side of Mac's Hotel in Franklin St.

That buggered his little flight to work! He had to be landed at the helipad on the Yarra which was probably why the limo was tracking him.

Mac's was then legendary as in reservations we got a 30 minute lunch break and once they knew you just a wave on the way in and your steak sandwich was on the way and 3 pots and the sanger later you were back in your seat on time.

Legend of a pub.


Best all
