Is There Any Evidence The RAAF Has A Positive Attitude To GA?
Source --- Me. Hence minor variations due memory, but the message was there. Date, as I said, years ago, exact date, too hard.
The remark was made to the operating crew of the aircraft, including the Captain.
As I recall, the reason he was even in Australia was not aviation, but guest speaker at a major annual function held at the Royal Melbourne Golf Club.
Tootle pip!!
PS: Crew treatment at any Port of New York Authority airports has always been dreadful, long long before 9/11 ---- and is nothing to do with FAA, just as security here is nothing to do with CASA.

If they actually trusted you like you say they did, they would have given you ammunition. Now you’re just giving ammunition to everyone else, to use on you.
That was probably back when they had conscription; they don’t have that any more. That’s why they gave you the rifle, to make you feel important, thus it’s easier to send you off to war to your early death because you believe they trusted you to protect the country. You don’t realise it Sunfish, that nothing has actually changed over time! Nor have you...
The rifles went home with us because it was the easiest way to store them at the time. Bare in mind that it was also your patriotic duty to have a .22 and shoot rabbits - for which you got a bounty.
Lest you think I'm joking about "lockdowns" this is what happened to a star wars fan who left the butt of a toy ray gun sticking out oh his backpack in 2008:

You could buy ammo anywhere, and at the range it was free. The MCC rifle club offered me a brand new .303 jungle carbine (short barreled .303 with flash suppressor) still in its cosmoline for $10.00. I happened to have $10 in my pocket, but thought that Mum might not approve. A mate bought one and we tried it next weekend - kicked like a horse and a very loud bark - not useful for target shooting.

Now, what are the other great impositions on freedom you are complaining about?
This thread has really been a good time for me.

Right. So the laws regarding firearms have changed due to two massacres perpetrated by white, male Australians. This was done by a conservative government and widely supported by the community.

That really takes me back. I have still got the Mk5, SMLE built version, bought brand new, in the grease, but I paid 15 quid at Mick Simmons.
I was probably 16 or 17 when I exhausted the savings account on the Mk5. Great for pigs.
I only found out many years afterwards that the really big recoils probably meant you had some ammunition intended for Brownings in aircraft, not for rifles.
And my re-barreled (.22) full wood Mk2, for potting rabbits.
Tootle pip!!
But it’s the transgender lobby and feminists that stop schoolboys taking rifles on trams.
There were protests outside the initial staging of Jesus Christ Superstar because It was blasphemous, and Bob Menzies didn't just ban Lady Chatterley's Lover, he banned the book detailing the trial that got it's ban lifted in England. He was GOING to ban "Hair" outright, till a photo emerged of Princess Anne dancing on stage at a West End production of the show.
Stifling free speech was a staple of conservatism- it is now, unfortunately, largely the preserve of the left- but the right only squeal about free speech because THEIR days of censorship are over.

About 7 years ago, the wankers at RAAF Pearce made me made me drive (rather than fly) an engineer to Gingin after my aircraft developed an issue with others flying it, PAN call and landed there. And made it extremely difficult to fly out of there too. Complete wankers.
There were no military ops happening at Gingin at all.
Pearce Flying Club also "appropriated" remaining AVGAS in drum too for no compensation. Thanks so much.

The constant negativity in this particular branch of the forum is an ongoing source of amusement alternating with bewilderment.
Glad to see some of the chronic whiners are finally being called out.
