Final flight of VH-NGA

[VH-ABC]

Just saw an ad on TV for 60 Minutes this Sunday night... should be worth a look.

[Peter Fanelli]

should be worth a look.

I doubt it.

[Falling Leaf]

Standby for the usual infotainment; 2 minutes of 'facts', probably read from the ATSB initial report and a few old media releases, with the usual 10 minutes of sensationalist padding, a few teary-eyed relatives of those involved and another 10 minutes of adds stuffed in-between.

[Stationair8]

Sixty Minutes, 48 minutes of waffle interuppted by commercials and self promotion of the network which will include Underbelly, Topgear and anything else we can promote.

Thought who took the naked picture of Laura would have been higher up the list than NGA?

[Jabawocky]

The most informative bits are the Top Gear ads....

I'll buy a beer to the first ppruner who's quote from this site is used by them!

[training wheels]

Took a while for me to realise that this is to do with the Norfolk Island incident last year.

[Frank Arouet]

Pelair- Westwind- YSNF.

Do I get a beer?

[Jabawocky]

Good one Frank....maybe just one for being a clever bugger!

I meant a quote from one of the earlier threads

[Howard Hughes]

I meant a quote from one of the earlier threads

Of course this pruner will be referred to as 'an industry insider'...

[GADRIVR]

Will be absolute rubbish.... with about as much attention to details, facts and logic as the original Norfolk ditching thread!
Yawn!!!!!

[Atlas Shrugged]

What is 60 minutes?? Is that the show with that Grimshaw idiot on it or is it the one with Eddy McGuire.

[Frank Arouet]

It's pretty in depth. It took me one and a half hours to watch the last one.

[PA39]

More like 60 seconds !!

[MyNameIsIs]

What is 60 minutes??

It's 1 hour.

In our house it's known as 60 Idiots.

The ad shows radio conversation between controllers and the pilots of NGA. Does anyone know if there is a transcript or something similar floating around the net? I can't seem to find one

Anything about being "at bang"?

[mustangranch]

on the ad there is underwater film of a what looks like a westwind? Have they been down to film it?

It will be a MASSIVE media beat up, however; the point still needs to be made WHY didn't they plan to Noumea? Do the French even let them in there?

[Jabawocky]

ATSB have released a video of the Westwind. Fish seem to be happy with it!

[Desert Flower]

In our house it's known as 60 Idiots.

In ours it's known as 45 minutes, because there's about 45 minutes' worth of actual reporting (if you're lucky) & the other 15 is taken up with ads!
