1/ Wheels up in DN
2/ Power off landing on Groote
3/ Beachfront Tavern ran out of VB
4/ No flight/duty times were busted for 7 days running
5/ NT News failed to mention a killer croc three days straight.

All fairly serious and none reported on prune....I blame it on the recession.

As well as the hairyplanes, something is getting shagged....

TERRITORIANS hug the least, barely laugh and are the misery gutses of the nation, so say the results of a national health test.

But at least we're getting a load of shagging in - more than any other Australians, except those randy perves down in the Australian Capital Territory.

All pissed?

In terms of happy points, Darwin City scored the highest with an average 394 points out of 776.

I hear ya Hoff, the NTBIIC should have classified it as an accident rather than an incident. A lot of people must have been hurt.

Darwin
The aircraft and incidents remain the same, it's only the names on the hangars which change...

HH. Darwin resident 1998-2001.
