this should help Sunfish...

One pallet in the center. Webbing down the sides. This one, 18 November at Coffs. Ear plugs just like in a Herc.

[Sunfish]

I loved travelling in a Caribou with the tailgate open.... but that was a very long time ago.

I may be wrong about the webbing. I thought it was but all of us were too tired to care.

[Bodie1]

Oh look, he's back.

[Bodie1]

Did you pay for that flight? Or did the ordinary Australian taxpayer have to fund your elitist private flight? Why didn't you take RPT?

[Lookleft]

Sunnie if you think red webbing looks the same as black seats then you are colour blind as well as all the other things.

[Sunfish]

My memory must be fading. I grabbed one of the pallet airline style seats and went to sleep.

[Ascend Charlie]

So your military service was just a dream?

Good thing you “paid for” those pesky RAAF pilots’ shoes and socks while you had a nice sleep down the back. You earnt it Sunfish.

[Checklist Charlie]

Any chance we can get back to the subject IE Point Cook and leave the childish pi$$ing contest to Jetblast.

Thank You.

Nah, keep the pissing contest here, saves switching between threads. Sorry, the childish pissing contest.

[Trevor the lover]

As a Bou pilot from years gone by I am sickened to think that I may have had Australia's biggest Fvcknuckle, Sunfish, sitting on the ramp of my aircraft. If Captain Rex Havoc and I had known he was on board we would have booted him out the back with the $15,000 ramp extension that Rex let fly over Exmouth Gulf, hey Rex!!??

[VH DSJ]

Apologies for interrupting the pissing contest here, but can anyone recall the rego of the PA28 at the Pt Cook RAAF Aeroclub in the late 1970s? Was it VH-AFS?

So us despised "Civvies" paid for your flight training too Trevor? The sense of entitlement some of you have is mind boggling. You remind me of a certain public school whose students were also told that they were "to serve the community" - by dominating the ranks of judges, Doctors,Directors, etc. The term coined for it by progressives was : "The old boys club". Seems like its alive and well in aviation.

Sunfish, you repeatedly lie... You promised us you would leave the sensible adults to discuss this. But, like a bad smell you keep coming back. Please leave this thread, and PPRUNE, you provide nothing of value (except the odd chuckle at your deluded ranting).

Oh Sunny, I'm sure it's the same down at RYCV...

That photo you provided when you had your taxpayer funded ride on a C17 seem to only be "Old Boys" literally. The only female in the photo was one of your despised military members. Maybe you're a member of an old boys club yourself?

[Sunfish]

What set me off was Bodies comment about "civvies" which displayed obvious contempt for anyone who is not RAAF. He should apologise.

From what I'm reading there's noses out of joint for two reasons? Civvies getting kicked off a military aerodrome and whinging about who gets to fly some toys we'd all give our left nut to fly? Not much you can do about the first, the second, join the brown nose queue, or buy your own toys to fly?

[Lookleft]

Are you the PM now Sunfish? Your delusions of grandeur know no bounds.

Bodie has stated they are not or never were in the RAAF.

You've suddenly decided Bodie is the spokesperson for the RAAF and determined the RAAF hates all civvies. You have then gone on to provide your own evidence of RAAF assistance to the civil community which you benefited from; the very same help I was alluding to earlier when you labelled me 'entitled'.

Happy for you to apologise when you're ready, PM me if you'd prefer.
