good to hear
You know its great to hear you lads are happy. Also that HE is not driving the ship now. Or at least he changed his style.
When I was there Air Ngukurr was still very small. I was the fourth pilot on. Slowly it grew and more pilots were employed. I cant remember anyone ever being happy at Ngukurr. A couple of the guys that got based in Darwin were......content. But I can never remember anyone saying they were loving it.
Seems things chaged for the better after the trouble there.

Ngukurr not so rosy
Helldog, how you going mate.
Your photos are still up at the donga, if you care picking them up
Yes the company has changed for the better, however me thinks the town is going down, there's more and more violence and petrol sniffing, our car has been stolen twice in six weeks and damaged.
Its not like it used to be, you cop a lot more abuse and the whole joint is just filthy. the cleaning patrols have not been working for over 4 months, you should come and see the council premises, they look like the streets of calcutta.
The only good thing is dem fellas know who i am, they don;t mess with me and everything will run smoothly.
On the other hand the flying is great, exept for that time we had to clean someone's vomit out of the seat pocket of the 210
Not always NGU-RRB. maybe 40% of our work. otherwise Tindal, hodgson downs, numbulwar, groote and odd cool Darwin charters
I'll just be happy(er) when my time is up here in NGU.

hopefully Bandit Captain within 15 years.

H.E. not running the show hey???
So what is he doing there without a Pilot License then. Suspended for how long helldog? Maybe he's a full time $60K per year gardener!!!?
You bet H.E.'s at the helm alright. Otherwise, why not put HIM on casual. That'd be a laugh
Oh!! Right!! You're all going to say the Ngukurr Clan need him there 'cos he's the only one they can trust??? Well if that's the case, he really has the wool pulled over their eyes.
What's the new CEO doing?? Sitting on his hands?? More like sitting on H.E's hand as this guy would have to be the funniest puppet I've ever seen!
One thing's for sure, if and when H.E. gets his license back, I'd love to be a fly in the Bandit cockpit when he goes flying with the new CP!!

G.A. Boy, I am glad to see you are not holding back. I do understand what you are up against. I have had my fair share of the network, one name comes to mind, and I know it does to you as well. If the department would just give the new CP’s a fair go, the company would actually obtain a stable approach to the GA market.
The long and hard road, has been holding most CP’s back.
Fortunately for some, due to the overwhelming attention drawn to the company in question, most of the opposing companies have had a free ride.
I have never seen such waste of good recourses, for example, why would an FOI do three (3) routine ramp checks on the same AC in one week. They really wanted to find something, but never did. I kept a clean ship, and I am sure it is just as clean as I left it.
Good luck, GA Boy.

Hey DJ,
I have photos there? Nothing incriminating I hope
Is the spud gun there? Is it still operational? I think it is due for a check III by now.
God sounds like hell got even worse. That troopy has been stolen som many times. Been rolled twice...added to that yet?
Thanks for the news. Say hi to Pommy Ray, Blinky Bill, Wazza Starkey and the rest of the G Jockeys there. Also love to the Daniels, Mortons, Blitners, Mugrunguns, Joshuas etc.
PS slap Desley from Roper Bar Shop on the arse for me...with a cricket bat.
Oh and say g'day to the cops, Mick and Jamie.
Cheers

Helldog,
Mick and Jamie in Darwin now. New cops, they are sheit. And the blokes you mention , they still here except Starkey haven't seen him in a while. He tells me of this great story... the MYTH... troopie bogged down the back way. you are the legend down here, man !
We have a litlle holden astra. the troopie got too bad, they would not re-register it, esp after council wanted it back when the airline separated from the rest.
Hows Africa. That thing about 402 and chieftains job you turn down, is that for real ?
Catch ya
DJ Dave
spud gun needs a gas cliker, and is up for an AD/RAD/FPE next month.

Yeah man its all true. You been talking to Boat?
Just had my first official mission with my new employer on the 206. Arusha-Lake Manyara-Kilimanjaro-Arusha I chose to stay here because there is a better future in this company. The next step here is onto the Van. So if I behave I will get a shot, fairly soon I hope.
Yeah, not only did we bog the Air Ngukurr troopie, also the health troopie, two police cars, a tracktor and the big Cat with tank tracks, ahhhh that one stayed bogged. Bloody hell mate you talked to Starky long enough to listen to the whole story, your luck your brain didnt shrivel up.
Take it easy tiger.

Troopie, right you are, it was the Delica. Remember we were pissed and I was pushing you to drive on? Dino was in the back packing darkies. Then we had to wade back to town.
Yep lucky honks was going fishing and was in a good mood. Ahhhh some fun time there I must addmit. Like the great caravan fire. I guess we can also say that we used to troopie to ram it a few times first...now that she is retired.
Oh and the fire that nearly blew up the power station. That was me...I may have had some help But it was all legal, because it was burnoff season. So we got clear permission from a local to burn as much bush as we felt was warranted. Lucky the power station had a fire break around it. Would have been nice to see it explode though

What was the distance we ended up getting on the spud gun when we had it out on the runway.
That reminds me, remember doing drags in the Delica on the runway at 12 at night, and doing drive buys at cane toad corner. And best of all the Roper river approach in to Roper Bar.
Helldog, been to the casino in Mwanza lately. hows my girls.

I cant remember the official distance achieved. But its amazing power was due to Steve's patented lip shaping. It allowed a better seal and easy spud cutting.
Mate I have been out of Mwanza for a while. I am now in Arusha. Heaps better, much more action. Lots of white girls, but I still cant resist the local chicks, they are so hot and far better in the sack.
Some girl asked about you, maybe it was the one you put away.
You should have stayed tiger you would be in a good job right now. But good luck up north.
I am virtually going to flog off now, yeeh thets rite.
