RE: Fun time -Caption competition
What about the Olsen twins, Mary-Kate and Ashley!!!
Man these days a name isn’t gender specific Kym and Kerry are guys names! Just goes to prove that life these days is screwed up 🙁 We’ve let the whole soft side take over with letting the Homosexuals out! I’m not against them but they try to take so much! “You can’t do that I’m gay”! “Do what??? I’m only sitting here, reading my flypast mag”!
“Yeah and that offends me, cause it supports a time when us gays were ridiculed”! “WTF”? “He’s harassing me, help help he’s harassing a gay guy”! “I swear I did nothing”
Sorry that’s just something that happened to me once and a bus in Sydney! 🙁 The police where called in and I went to court over it and got let off cause this gay guy was a known trouble maker!

RE: Comments Please
[updated:LAST EDITED ON 13-02-02 AT 09:34 PM (GMT)]1. I’m not trying to set up a major airline, just a “Hopper” service between major town centers in regional areas of my state! The question of having the experience to run such a venture, well the government who is helping me get this running seem to think I do! They’ve looked at my resume and all my past experience and determined that I seem to have the ability to follow through on this 🙂
2. Why ask people here, simple, cause what I think about an aircraft is all well and good, but people already in the industry and alot closer to the source, might have a different oppinion or think in ways that I haven’t thought of. Thus by asking people here, I avoid salesman tactics and government burocrasies, whilest still expanding my own awareness of products available! Too simply say that since the DHC-6 is used in the same role and has the capabilities that I require, isn’t really informing me about what else is out there that can do the same job now is it?
3. Specs- As I said above the Twin Otter can do all the things I need, but I need a minimum of 19 seat and able to land in around 820 meters and take off in around 610 meters and be able to use grass strips dur to narrow nature of most of the airfiels I am looking at using! So the Raytheon/Beach 1900D is right out 🙁
Oh and thanks for the appology, at first it seemed that you just had sour grapes! But I personally think that consultants are a bad thing and that if a boss can’t interview people one on one, especially in a small business, well then that company is doomed from the get go! That’s just how I feel, I mean no offence by it! But in our society today, we’re always trying to find someone else to do the job for us and that way if they stuff up, it’s their head that rolls! A person needs to stand up for all that they are responcible, we’ve let the concept of CYA take us for a ride for too long now!

RE: Antonov OKB
Thanks Steve,
Maybe this is a sign that the An-38 is too much trouble to look into 😉

RE: Ansett faux pas
That happened back in 98, I was on that flight, but I kept my mouth shut! I’m not gay as my past will testify 😉
It is a funny read, but the situation back then nearly ended in a brawl! as it was Mr Gay got his flight!

RE: Tesna/ Airbus deal!
The Airline!
Some doubt about the Airline is already at hand, with the two new owners: Solomon Lew and Lindsay Fox arriving back in Australia Today after being in talks with Richard Branson, owner of Virgin Blue in England!
Speculation has it that the talks were over a merger deal combining the failing airline, who’s administrators lost a court battle today holding them responcible for further losses (current losses are estimated at around A$6M per day).
Though the two would not comment, they appeared to be happy with the talks! If a merger does happen, further joblosses are expected and that is not good news concidering Tesna announced last week that 1000 jobs could not be maintained if the deal is to go ahead, citing mounting costs in keeping the airline active!

RE: Birthday
Does anyone know about the Centenary of aviation celebrations in Kittyhawk?
I heard something and wonder if it will be worth going to it next year?

Nothing new there
Air New Zealand has gone from good to bad to worse to just gone!
Back when I was in the navy, I had a g/f from NZ and she was trying to get back home to see her mothers wedding! THey ballsed up her flight. She got back to NZ alright, a week after the wedding 🙁
Coming back, they had her booked for the same flight as normal, which would have ment that she would have had 1 1/2 hours in NZ before coming home. Lucky for her she checked at the desk before leaving the airport in Auckland for the 3hr drive south to where she was going!
That’s not incompetance, that’s shear lunacy! No wonder they fell so hard!
