Hi Mirv. Is it true that you only wear brown underwear in formation now?

Here are some suggested activities for your party:

Hanging around in a blue flying suit.

Deploying to Squadrons to tell their QFI's that they don't do enough Demo - Direct - Monitor.

Rejoins into formation: Height - line - speed - bloom - crunch - spin - BANG.

Ruprecht.

Why are people so unkind ???

[donpizmeov]

And then maybe a showing of what really happened to the chicken after mirv's wedding!
Ruprecht,
I think a baby blue safari suit would be more suited to the occasion. The flying suit is sooo yesterday.

Of course, for the Walter Mitty's amongst us, the internet has brought us the Roulette experience without the associated risk of a Martin Baker letdown!

Check out these guys, their video is awesome..

who fly on a LAN and have actually performed at airshows..


They program they use is Lock-on. Where this sort of thing will end up is anyone's guess.

Wow, recognised the name of one of our guys on there. I think he's been known to read PPRUNE from time to time as well!

[The Matirx]

Hey Keg is it true that you are also an ex Roulette ?

Vh-Pen ?

[Keg]

No, most definately not. Not even an ex-RAAFie! I did get a ride in a PC9 once which is about the closest I've ever been!

From one who has enjoyed the Roulettes over the years I have copied this to the Military Forum and will sticky it for a while.

I'll let you guys deal with ruprecht.

Likewise, should be good, except for the hangover!

[Soopster]

Mirv, will you be wearing that tight velvet purple safari suit you had commissioned in Asia (Vietnam wasn't it?)
Great to see you made it down ok! The Canadian display team didn't fair so well.
Are you really married!

[Sir Shiraz]

Wish I had been a roulette so I could go.... but then again it may clash with Melbourne Cup.

[plane of motion]

Did anyone see the powerpoint presentation that went around the RAAF shortly after the prang??

I had to pick myself up off the floor from laughing so hard!!!

[Obiwan]

ooo.. sounds good. Tell more!

[plane of motion]

I could tell more but wouldnt do it justice.
Suffice to say it was good banter!

If anyone wants it PM me and I will see if I can get a copy
