If it's over the runway it's not a 'beat up', it's a 'baulked approach'!:ok:

I forgot to add, "your Honour"...;)

Arnold, never let a bully win. I'd rather read your posts than the self congratulatory drivel I've been reading on this thread.
I think we know which are the real serial pests.

Arnold E and Walls, hang in there, ultimately they will Jabba away and fade into XXX oblivilon patting themselves on the back for saving General Aviation from itself.

Patience is the game.

Now, there is a someone who is qualified on unwelcome beatups in heavy metal. :=

Where on earth did you get that idea......You and I are usually on the same page, 99% of the time, now the serial pest I was referring to so far has not posted on this page. So WOC....maybe you might wish to rethink??

Gooday T28D :ok:, in your learned opinion, what do you make of the consequences of this Saphire beat up and crach story? How will it go down with industry, the public image and the long arm of the law?

Offer something constructive from your years of experience rather than attempts at dung stirring.

So a clown in an unregistered "aircraft" without any form of licence or approval crashes.

Reckless endangerment of the people he was no doubt trying to impress.

Otherwise just another loose cannon in the Australian red neck landscape, no more or no less than an unlicenced clown on an unregistered motorbike running into a cafe or alfresco area.

You all can whip this up into some sort of dreadful occurrence, but in the overall scheme of things, no one hurt, clown loses his toy, no doubt facing some nasty NSW statutory charges.

Aviation, how righteous thou art, but it is not really relevant, isolated incident.

The public couldn't give a toss, and keeping this thread going is only feeding the ego of the posters !!!!!

As always - blame the others

They are Cowboys/rich cowboys/Overpaid cowboys

depends on the mouthpiece but in this case he/she with have to work to avoid a custodial result

Mostly agree with you in simple terms.

Disagree the thread has anything to do with ego's of the posters, not one of them as far as I am concerned, but hey each to his own opinion.

Where I do disagree, is that this is not an isolated incident, sure its not a daily thing, but I have it on good authority that folk within CASA are very much concerned about such things, their far more pro-active participation in recent times, which is welcome by the way, is also a double edged sword.

Be it RAA Warbirds GFA SAAA Gyro folk HGFA you name the group, with privileges comes responsibilities and also comes T&C's...or strings attached. Refer my earlier posts. Despite what some may think they are not RAA bashes, sooner or later some mud sticks and may well stick to all of us.

Thanks for a good reply! :)

Hmmm... seems to me that Jabawocky uses every chance he can to have a go at RAA..:hmm:

About 6 months ago ah think it were when Jabawocky suffered a fit of histeria and offered up all sort of abuse to any poster that disagreed with him. Moderator let Jabawocky go on for some time digging his little hole before closing the thread.... It were a sad read.

Seeing the way our current govmint is pissing good money against the wind in the name of global warming, ah dont think i'd blame anyone fer not wanting to give the idiots any more money to waste..:)

Back to the thread subject...

We dont really have any factual inforemation to go with at this time.

The only two definate facts we have about this alleged incident is that the pilot were not RAA and the aircraft were not RAA.

Seems to me us experts here should wait until CASA has worked out what happened and the matter concluded before we make grandious statements and determinations about how best to fix 'whatever'




....and that's my grandious determination of this issue..:cool:

No, bring me a bucket:yuk:
