Nivo

If it was populated by Balinese? :rolleyes:

Nivo, I was guessing South Africa or India.

But the aircraft rego gave it away!

Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania.

Throwing darts here.... the first one could be Morogoro.

HN

Tanzania is a long way to take ya Cessna mate.

You do get around the traps!

J

Well done CF
 

No. 2 is indeed Dar es Salaam. No.1 is Mbeya and aircraft was photograhed at Sumbawanga.

Very interesting country to fly around, and it amazing just how much runway even a lightly loaded C210 needs at 30 degrees and 6500ft elevation!

Jaba - I might go a long way in a Cessna, but even I draw the line at Tanzania! We are just back from YNCW which was 26.5hrs round trip.

cheers,

Nivo

YNCW :eek:

Long way to go to sell some sheep!

Gotta be cattle involved then!

J

Jaba,

Not selling, just buying (XXXX and rum) and catching up with mates at Spellbore campdraft!!

cheers,

Nivo

I can't remember if this was posted at the time, but I stumbled across it again today and thought it was worth revisiting!

Dr :8

I always get a chuckle out of Beechy and Jaba's reactions in that vid. Its Jaba going 'Wooow' and Beechy going 'Jeez look at that hahaha etc'.

It was a fun day out:ok:

Had not seen that.......COOL!:ok:

Here's a sexy looking v-tail.:ok:

Those noises were all Beachie actually!

He is easily entertained.....:}

We just need another A36 to join the flock for some more fun movies!;)

This is HTI Hamilton Island

Bonanzas
 

A long time ago I flew bonanzas for about two years, so I can understand peoples enthusiasm for the type.

Some years ago the controller at osksh said "bonanza formation clear to land", and 150 bonanzas landed.

i reckon some on here would have had an orgasm if they had seen that.

Watch 150 Drs land in formation?

I'd be finding a deep hole to hide in.:E

'Bonzas' can do almost anything??
 

I hope this works.... a 'You Tube' link....

YouTube - Bonanza Plane goes under Eiffel Tower

There ya go DOC!
:ok::ok:

Gee with a Garden Bed ILS like that even I could do it!;)

Great Vid Griffo :D

So did you get into trouble for doing that?

J:ok:

G'Day 'Jab',

Nah! Just selected both port and stbd thronomisters to FULL PWR, and made like a mob of seagulls..............got the flock outa there...........:}:}:eek:

The power shut off at FL200 so we just glided back home - you know wot these 'Bonzas' are.......

Sacre Bleu!!

Where is Forkie and Chuckles now:D:D:D

:}:}:}:}

J:ok:

A REAL beat up from many years ago!

Wake Turbulence aside I reckon Chuckles could have flown under that in the Bonza! :}

J

Haha that video is brilliant :} Would be good to see an outside view of it going under

A real beat-up from not very many years ago :ok:

The good old days
 

When we weren't good, and we weren't old.

Thats what ive been doing wrong - attempting to fly in the middle of the day!

B-707
 

Hey, that photo of the 707 reminded me of a question that has bugged me for YEARS....

Does anyone know why three of the four engines have little ducts on top, but one of them (I think its No 1 engine) doesn't????:confused:

The engines with the little ducts at the top are fitted with turbo compressors for cabin pressurization.

It can vary somewhat, I think you could choose from having 2, 3 or 4 on the aircraft.

I understand that the three I picked out are all different series but I believe if you search further you will find variations with in the -100/-300/-400 subgroups.

Just trying to figure out how to submit photos. IF this works I may be able to join in.

Pretty sloppy track and altitude keeping if you ask me. Ten feet low good enough for you is it? :E

Check out the Alt if you can. Big hills over there.

Is your name Mr RVSM? I say good enough for a Cessna auto pilot in reasonably rough conditions. Certainly better than I could do.

Yair, Grog, you got the idea, but make em 'web' size 320x240 instead of 'email' size 640x480 and they fit the page width a little better.:ok:

Interesting, thanks Mr Fanelli....

Any guesses as to where (in WA)?

Background looks like El Questro, but there doesn’t seem to be enough scrub around the runway.
