Dick Smith 65th Birthday
Just saw on GNW its Dick's 65th on Wednesday the 18th of March!
Now I know he cops a bit of stick on here at times and I do not agree with all he says either, but he is a passionate supporter of aviation in Oz. So happy birthday Dick http://www.augk18.dsl.pipex.com/Smileys/beer3.gif J:ok: |
Happy Birthday Dick!
Thank you for your ongoing passion for aviation in Australia. Make sure you have a great one! A Comfy Chair. |
As with the above, misguided passion is better than none, at least Aviation is kept in the media spotlight a bit!
Your a good man, Have a Jar of the 'Aussie' Vegemite on me. |
65? Crikey! Does this mean you need to stop flying? :p
Happy Birthday Dick.....sorry....HAPPY BIRTHDAY DICK!!! |
Well bugger me, it's my Mums birthday tomorrow too, she's 81 and only has a few marbles left as well.................amazing coincidence ;)
Happy Birthday Dick and Mum |
Happy Birthday Mr Smith - and keep fighting the good fight (well your fight anyways!!!) :ok:
|
Happy Birthday Dick.:)
|
Thanks for the greetings but how about some expensive presents? Pse send them to DS "Bowylie" Gundaroo NSW.
The presents can be landed on the strip. Pref Avtur powered as I have no Avgas. A BBJ would be good. By the way, I still believe Australia can earn millions of extra export dollars by becoming the world leader in flight training and recreational aviation. We just need a vision and a plan! And to get our industry booming again we have to concentrate on removing all regs which add to cost but not to safety in a cost effective way. |
:D Atta boy Dick. I can just see them struggling to put a lid on yer coffin as you just make one last point about airspace!!;):p
|
Happy Birthday Dick!
Couldn't agree more, however the powers that be might have something to say about it....We couldn't possibly have any more flying in such a small country with no places to land or interesting things to see....Where the bloody hell are ya? Keep at them Dick i know of many people who support yout ideas- even if they dont patrol the intelligent domain that is PPRUNE. |
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DICK!
Vision and a plan. When left in the hands of politicians, not a chance! |
Yeah...HAPPY BIRTHDAY DICK!!!
|
Happy Birthday to the BIG DICK!
|

You have been out of the limelight lately.... Are you up to something to suprise us all again. How about putting up a party and invite all of your fellow aussie ppruners. I am sure your property can accomodate most of us. I promise to bring you a present. ;) Be sure to put Jaba on top of your list :p |

Happy Birthday Dick.

Have a great brithday Dick.
Cheers, Flog. |
Happy Birthday Dick.
Keep up the great work. And equally as impressive a result is so far 19 posts without one negative post. PPrune would be great if we could keep it this way. Cheers |
And the Mods would be exceedingly happy if every Dick Smith thread went to "19 posts without one negative post." :ok:
Dick. By the way, I still believe Australia can earn millions of extra export dollars by becoming the world leader in flight training and recreational aviation. We just need a vision and a plan! You've certainly caused some real headaches and brought out the worst in some, the best in others, but you have always been an avid contributor to these forums - 1,425 posts since 13 May 2002, including the odd banning and thread restriction. You are a passionate aviator and have certainly never been shy of publicly expressing your opinions! PPRuNe Dunnunda has probably been the better for your presence. Mostly. Well, occasionally perhaps? :hmm: Best wishes to yourself and your family for your birthday tomorrow. :ok: :} Tail Wheel |
Happy birthday Dick.
|
Happy Birthday Dick and best wishes with the dream of affordable aviation without so much red tape. Am looking forward to the day when we achieve this.
|
Hey Dick,
Even Airservices Australia got you a present: YMAV NOTAM C0103/09 CTR/CTA CLASS C AIRSPACE AND TOWER ACT 2000-0900 DAILY FROM 03 160113 TO 04 040900 Dunno why but it's a start! UTR |
Happy Birthday Dick, I'm sorry I -225'd you that time twice in one day :}
|
Dick, I dedicate my 1000th post in wishing you a happy birthday....This is not to say I am going soft, just a recognition of your reaching a milestone.
I was told a very funny (true) story the other day that involved yourself. Very poigniant on your life it was....."Wrong end, Dick!" ....at least I can still have an argument with you and you haven't slapped a court order on me.....yet:E Happy Birthday:D |
Concur with all previous posters;
Happy Birthday Dick!:ok: Sorry, but can't afford the BBJ. Struth, I could'nt even afford a BBQ!!:{ |
I had to look down
|
Happy birthday Dick.
As AFL legend Ted Whitten (Mr Football) once said, "Stick it up 'em!!" :ok: |
How about we all chip in for an ADSB unit.............:ok:
|
Or perhaps a reasonably priced repair job on a Rogerson Kratos EFIS.....
|
Happy Birthday Dick, many Happy returns.
Whats the next adventure ? |
Happy Birthday Dick, now you qualify for a Seniors Card
|
Happy Birthday mate. I'll have a beer for you later!
I'm a big supporter of you, your work and your passion... and have been since my first 'Funway Electronics Kit' well over 20 years ago. Have a fantastic day. |
Happy Birthday Dick!
I attribute a lot of the successes in the reforms and safety improvements I’ve been part of in the developing world in recent times to the lessons I’ve learnt from you. I hope the next time you get a chance to shake things up in Australian aviation I can come home to be part of it. I’m too far from home to pop over to Bowylie for a cuppa and to wish a great birthday and I think the President would get upset if I borrowed his BBJ but I will be home in June so we can catch up then. |
Happy Birthday Dick,
I haven't always agreed with your opinions, but I am always interested to hear them. Keep sticking it up them mate! HD |
A great Australian Icon, an asset to the country and to aviation. Have a great day Dick with many many more to come. ::):):)
|
Its nice to see the good sentiment directed at some one who alot of people disagree with. You should feel chuffed.
happy birthday Dick :D ::DD |
although not knowing you personally i have shopped at your name sake for many years as well as being entertained and enlightened by your many threads and so from a lowly PPL and widebody LAME Happy Birthday :ok:
|
Many happy returns of the day Dick :ok:
