I thought I'd heard of it but I can't find any info on it. So no, I don't get it.

Just hope I never fly with most of you people.
From the available information, I'm sure your wish will be granted. It will doubtless be a greater blessing for the herd than for the lamb...

Who's got the mint sauce?

Never heard of Rainboe? I'm proud to say a quick Google came up with
The biggest problem seems to be the delay in finding a satisfactory replacement product that is as efficient as Rainboe.
Watch out- it's deadly. And I lurrve mint sauce.

Mate- we don't have to keep hearing how you are so desperate to be a pilot, and the blizzard of questions that you don't seem to accept an answer for. Take the time to work hard on your studies and learn all about careers (and there is more than enough information here to do it passively for pilots!), and see where the wind blows you, then decide what you want to do. But some of the ramblings up to now come across as a very confused, directionless teenager.

And don't worry, you DO have enough blood. Maybe eat more healthy food?

"If you make a small mistake it will have a fatal result and you'll be executed"
Yes... I noted you were careful to include parentheses, but failed to include an attribution. I`m sure many of us would be interested to learn of the source.

In your last post you didn`t give me due credit for my genuinely helpful suggestion.

On a more positive note I recommend you spend some time reading through the postings and discussions on this forum.

They are categorised according to aviation related disciplines for your benefit. You will find most of the answers to your questions if you care to look for them.

I do read them...

I do look for them, but the search function is terrible... Not always but alot of the time, it always comes up with the 'latest' post, not the most relevant.

And I thought you were 'critisising' me.

And, when I do find something I'm interested in knowing. I can't realy as questions can I? Becuase the threads probably years old.

Good advice for you there, I think you are overcomplicating things at your stage of life!

And I'm sorry, but NZ has much nicer lamb in my experience. I think God would tend to agree....

Yeah, fair enough. Im just gonna 'Do It' though, if you know what I mean. Become a pilot...

I agree with the over complicating part, but I realy can't get over it. If it weren't for aviation I wouldn't be going to school.



I'v spent some time in NZ, didn't spend to much time with lamb. There wern't many sheep either. Do you have any personal lamb?

I didn't get to eat any, just chicken. OZ and NZ have the best chicken ever. Go overseas and the chicken has these chucnky things that spray hot water at you when you bite into them

Your in the UK anyway???

You shouldn't be boiling it in the first place...

But you people do have to carry the heavy burden of the british cuisine, still.

steady on

You Poms (and ex-pats) are being too harsh on a fellow Ozzie!

LoG, Just ignore them. EVERY question you've asked is relevant, and if these guys on Prune aren't going to help, then you should ask your instructor/school when learning to fly.

When you start your lessons, you need to get a Class 1 medical. Your flying school will have a list of local DAMES. Be sure to ask for one who will give you a Class 1 medical even if the DAME knows that you don't have enough blood!

When choosing a flying instructor:

Make sure that your instructor already has heavy jet time. If they don't, that means that they don't have much ambition. They are not for you.

Likewise, if they can spell, then they have spent far too much time learning English and grammar, and not enough time flying. They are not for you, either.

Similarly, if your instructor has had 737 time and has not submitted to CASA that every 737 in Oz should have gear doors fitted for safety, then that instructor simply doesn't CARE enough about safety. Move on to the next instructor.

When you finally get an instructor, be sure to mention all the above, and why you've chosen him/her. Also ask if he/she can put you on a "differences" course between the 172 and 737.

Since it's also good to have interests, be SURE to mention your love of l@sers to your instructor.

I think that covers it for now. If I can think of any others, I'll be sure to mention them.

Ignore the negativity on prune. Everybody knows that there are NO sheep in NZ - it's just a myth!

Just like when you write your location on Prune, means that you've NEVER been ANYWHERE ELSE, EVER!!

Cheers,

SYKES!

P.S. For the Pomgolians (British), schools just gone back in Oz, so you should only see LoG on the weekends!

So many opportunities but if I don't control my pedantry I'll be here all day.

LoG. Try using Google search instead of the site search function, it's often more successful. Now if you'll excuse me I'm off to a land where people can compose a legible sentence in engrish.

I did a year flying in NZ, trust me they have lots of sheep. Didn't want to get personal with the lamb, would have felt a tad guilty eating it.

Anyway, good luck with the flying LofG

or "Write" even?

I left it out deliberately as I thought that highlighting three instances rather than just two was being just a little bit too mean. Even for me.

However, if you insist on digging yourself in deeper then who am I to prevent you?
