Talk about FSF currying favour with one of its "supporters/sponsors"
I hope Ms Marchbank did NOT travel to Italy at our expence to receive this "award"
As for the screaming skulls fluffy words, he might as well go back to selecting his co-workers for vindictive termination as per CX Star Chamber for any credibility as far as I am concerned.

A world record would you believe!!! twenty years and hundreds of millions of tax payers dollars!!!..without ZILCH...now tell me what other bureacracy can claim that sort of record !! In addition they must be given the gold medal for creating the most confusing gobbeldegook regulations imaginable, the others are not even close...FAA part 135 only forty pages...ONLY FORTY???.

It goes without saying that the Skull,,,sorry CEO Must travel (first Class) to accept this award and be annointed by his peers, My god...he's wasted in CASA...just think what he could do in Banking!!!...God he could have the country in recession in a month!!

Not strictly correct, Rose. Have you ever tried to wipe your ar$e on glossy paper ala FSA? The only thing worse than FSA is that "John Wayne" paper that you can get from Franklins..... "It's rough, it's tough, and it doesn't take sh!t from anyone".
I'll take my chances with a single sheet of Jepps, thanks

I remember reading an article about a twin engined aeroplane with a full load of passengers being flown into known icing conditions without de-icing equipment. It climbed to 10,000 ft with a malfunctioning engine. The pilot then shut down the malfunctioning engine and lost control of the aircraft. He recovered and was soon in cloud below the LSALT. With the help of a friendly controller he found his way to an airfield and landed.
ATSB found no problem with the instruments.
This was said to be "the right stuff"
I disagree.
This may be a pretty magazine, but I cannot respect it.

Sweet and sour
HJ. Still laughing. Now I know why sensible, venerable aviators don't bin amendments. Always wondered until now, you know, puzzled like.
Aroa. Again. Great point. Sad but true, this is all we have to call our own. Almost funny, if not so sad. Pathetic may be better.
Bushy, tale reminds me of another spog in an Aero Commander. Not so lucky, (YWLM - YLHI). Sad, messy, expensive and despite Mr. Staunton. No f changes to anything that matters. BTW, I agree, not quite the right stuff.
Heigh Ho - as they say.

I am led to believe the same committee that awarded the Nobel Peace Prize to President Barack Obama was also in charge of awarding CASA the prize. Would be interesting to see the calibre of the other nominations.
