Well you would've seen it if you'd been at THAT bash, Voice. You'll just have to accept the current hairless look when I catch up with you on Friday!

W... if you're after links to pics from various Brisbashes, I'd be happy to post them, but don't think this thread is the right one for that.

(ie I think we've hijacked this thread about as far as we can! )

Any other ideas?
cheers,
Are you going to do any hard yards for this venture? Next you'll want some one to do the deed for you too.

Capt Claret,
If I had a charter AOC and a Seneca, I would be "doing the deed myself".
Thanks for your witty input though.

Another idea then.....

hey mate, try looking for a C208 operator. The Caravan would be a more suitable machine would it not?

Hey guys, this is one of the best hijacked threads, its good clean fun for a change.

Very Funny

Well I did not breed them all..........

And none were the product of such a venture as far as I am aware!

but if I had the $$$$ I would be interested in a C208.

For that "Clan" of yours, the only thing that might be suitable is a Pilatus PC12 with commuter fitout; preferably leather.

You have a point

PC 12 is nice machine and much faster. They go OK at YCAB too. Need some Kero stocks there though.

Now what are you referring to regarding "preferably Leather" on a thread like this?

PS check your PM

JS430,
The C208 is too big, too much money, and anyhow, I don't need room for 10 pax

A Seneca, a Baron, a Bonanza, and at most a C340 would be what was required.

Possibly a P68 or an Aztec

Possibly a GA-8, but don't know many that are not set up only for parachuting.

The GA-8 is no good to you at night with only one donk!

You need two donks to have a bonk. (well at night anyway)

Maybe its a silly Question

But is there really such a big demand for such a service. Maybe Mr Godfrey and his mat Sir Dick could pull a trick here and do a mod to a B737 of theirs and really do the job properly.

Cant see me sheepishly sneeking out for a loo break or a drinks service with 130 odd POB on board, but if its such a necessary thrill, I am sure that the entertainment value alone would have someone interested.

Only problem there is on the unbooked flights the crews might get a few too many bright ideas on the definition of fringe benefits

And if you just happened to be a bit afterwards, what are the CC going to do when it comes time to prepare for landing......ohh the complications.

Wont be any such activity on board my PVT OPS

Cheers

Oh yes. Absolutely.

I represent a couple of hotel and resort chains and their management often joke about the "groups" who book out the penthouse suites on a regular basis for parties.

Apparently the housekeeping staff HATE the cleanup the next day

So I can imagine a fair number of bookings for such flights. In fact just remove the seats, put down plastic sheets and let 'em go.

A bit of aerial acrobatics during the flight (in addition to what's going on in the back) might add some extra entertainment and earn a bonus.

Fair dinkum, you'd have to be desperate for the hours to go along with it wouldn't you???

I guess you would want a reliable autopilot.

If the pilot was a smarty....

If you thought you knew how well things were progressing in the back, and the plane was good for it, ...firewall the plane and at the right time, climb at a very healthy rate and then when you think its a good idea, nose her over for a bit

Pity you can't Jam them in the back of a PC9

Cheers

I find it amazing that with all of the pilots complaining about lack of work / pay, that someone has not stuck their hand up for this. Fridgid maybe?

Maybe they value their self respect and dignity a bit more than a few hours flying time and a few dollars.

Not everyone wants to be a pimp.

This is why moan detecters are now required in the toilets of all RPT flights over 15 minutes duration by our fundamentalist government. You boxhead. Some people only fly to join the club, why not let them do it in an environment that won't leave me stepping around suspicious carpet stain when I fly. Are you suggesting Motels are immoral because couples go there to root?

I saw a thing on the telly years ago. A C337 based in CB (I think) was opulently decked out in the back, and a curtain behind the pilot. Could be done now with a live video feed to really close friends...
