ThoughtCrime,

No worries mate, any time!

Disco,

Did you photoshop that pick or is there really such a thing? Imagine if you had to do an oombie store run in that mother on a summer day... *sound of stall warning screaming in the background* "meh just follow the river, you'll be clear of terrain"

As for the 5 million dollar question, why is it that every g.a. owner over values their company???

I cant take credit for that fine machine above, thats a creation of Tiger77's excessive time on his hands in knx (Which is different to my excessive time in portagutta)

Look at the C209 thread in D&G for more details...

Of course it would be a rocket, it's got a seaplane prop on it.

Ya like that OCTA. Reminds me of an operator I used to know.

Its alright LHRT, I once flew a 182 for a gentleman who took great pride in telling me that it went like the clappers because it had a seaplane prop on it. I am hope a few of the many people I told the story too see the post and get a chuckle.

There was someone on the "building time in van's" having a go at skydive operators if you missed it. Better go in and stick up for them. hahaha

HOD,

Its the same mob of NFI's, suggesting there is a lesser standard of Maintenance for Parachute Aircraft, double standards and the eventual ignorant suggestions that parachute operations are RPT, blah blah blah, so why bother, let them enjoy their "circle jerk", why aren't you there ?.

Take it easy I was only having a gentle dig LHRT, just cause it is anonymous doesnt mean you have to come out swinging. I've got my opinions you've got yours, and we have both seen a bit of the industry. So theres no need to get nasty.

HOD,

Don't think for a second this forum is anonymous, or that this is harmless fun, when posters here make an allegation about a operator, pilot or sector of industry, it brings generally unwarranted attention to this entity.

Example: some clown suggests bad things about Alligator ( read above ), do you think CASA in Darwin reads these posts ?, does CM deserve this attention, CM would not lower himself to respond to this tripe, add chinese whispers and personal agenda's, next thing you know CASA is knocking on CM's door ( sounds familiar doesn't it ).

Sure does........ thats why theres smiley faces on there. If people can't pick the differance between malicious gossip and a bit of friendly rib poking, they're idiots. I'm sure CASA have better things to do.
Thanks for the clown ref mate. I'm heart broken now.
Gotta go, I lost me red nose somewhere.

If I say something that is true and worthy of investigation and somebody investigates what is the problem. Not that anything I have said in this thread is worthy of investigating. I dont think CASA has time to investigate people deluding themselves ie seaplane props.

So dont address those comments to me unless I have done something wrong.

If you want to talk maintence in parachute ind. by all means but I wont be posting here, when I tell my story it will be in Flight Safety.

Yeah I am a bit bitter but I am getting over it

Heard on the grape vine that the Wiggles are selling off their red car because jeff in a lazy bastard and hasn't made the repayments, you'll probably get it cheap.
