Hay there Helldog,
AN won't need to be sabotage, it is in self distruct mode with the fantastic three, CP:RH, CO:NB, and the the sticks his nose where the sun don't shine to get ahead PH running the show. It is all just a matter of Time. you have to ask yourself why all the good people have flown the coop.

Thumbs up NAC EBA

Its good to see that the EBA has made the little drunk leprechaun finally play by the rules - hell it only took him 9 months

Are the guys/girls that stood up for all pilots against HA (or whatever other name he tries to disguise himself with) still got jobs?

The ones that signed the contracts are they now on the EBA also? Shame that they didn't all stick together... but now they probably get the benefit of an EBA when others had to put their flying in jeopardy.

So has backpay been paid now Stars Jewel - HA can't get out of that can he? I'm sure that HA would hate paying it.

Well done to those who told HA to shove his 'contract'

PS Hammer apparently reads pprune!!!!!!

well well I would like to be a fly on the wall in the old NAC office with those two clowns running the show.
I guess HA needed the planes and Honke just happens to have two. I remember flying UBK (Utter Bucket of Krap) out of Kiana one day with three people and only getting 200ft/min. Level off build up speed climb, level off build up speed climb.

KIANA

Troopy....

Yeah gotta love the old Kiana Station, black soil and higher terrain on upwind. Always enjoyed taking off outta there at MTOW.

Have they done anything to Bulman - Delara yet?

Always fun talking bout the territory

Hey I heard that AN ran the bandit out of fuel on the runway on return from bathurst the other day. Would anyone like to comment on that? It seems that they are sealing their fate with 3 fuel related incidents in the last 8 months.

Couldnt tell you about Bulman, Its been a few years since I have flown those areas but still funny thinking about those places.
The other dodgy strip was Limmen Bight Station, I remember 5 AN planes there at once, you had to make sure you pulled up in time or you would take out the other aircraft parked at the end.
I also have a photo where the grass is touching the wing tips of the 210 and you can just make out the strip by two tyre marks

Troopy...


Would enjoy a copy of that photo, will PM you an address. Limmen Bight Station, sounds familiar but i am thinking of a ranger station near NGU (Nathan River) me thinks. Can't help but wonder how those poor guys are sitting out there in the absolute middle of nowhere with nothing to do but fish...... hmmm on second thought!

Don't ya think someone should post some piccies of the accom for AN boys in those parts on the net....... would be good for some to see how the other half live!

cheers

Back in the 1880s, the outpost of Borroloola had a reputation as a bit of a redneck town , peopled with all sorts of strange characters who worked at the port and on the surrounding stations. Today, the town is a fishing port and regional centre for local properties and mines. Facilities include a hotel, various forms of accommodation, fuel, mechanical repairs, general stores, boat hire, police, medical centre, post office and banking agencies.

Yeah right

Apparently Bulman will be sealed next dry. Hodgson Downs now sealed, but there's opposition to an obstacle light on the sacred hill(?) there. So no lights.
Was at Nathan River last week - definately not sealed! Ha Ha Ha...

HDD sealed, but is it any longer? Those trees used to come up pretty bloody fast in my old 402 with anythin over 4 pax....

Remember the doc asking me how many pax I wanted to take out of there. I said, "the book says we can take 7, but any more than 4 and I get scared".

We took 4.

So what's changed?

It was still like that last time I was there, 4 years ago!!

Cheers, HH.
