I don’t know about a better pilot, but it does teach you to use the rudder more!

The pros are you can buy whatever you want, there and then, well depending on your limit.

You can also keep it for an emergency, if your stuck in jungle you could buy a helicopter ride out.

The cons are possibly a high interest rate, and you may end up spending money you can’t pay back?

I’d rather have one though.

Would Mach Infinity not be bigger? If it’s going Mach it would get there quicker.

I’ve never done it with milk, but I have with a half empty can of lager. I’d left it down and someone decided to use it as an ashtray….mouth full of ash, fag ends and lager.

I was close to being sick.

I don’t smoke and I don’t often drink nowadays but if you can include aviation books into the addiction theme then I have a serious addiction that has cost me a packet tonight on abebooks.

I suppose, if we work hard for it, then we can spend it.

For Transatlantic it would have to be a Camel with Shorts 360 engines.

I used to work on the Railways so there is a fear!

Cars are sh1t, slow, boaring. Well I can’t affoard anything faster than a Mark 1 Golf GTI.

Planes feel safe, but if anything did happen at 35k foot you would have a few minutes to think about it!!!!

I’d rather ride a Giraffe, nice things!

DME,
Fortunately for me things turned out ok, the aircraft was repaired and returned to flying around East Anglia.
During the ensuing investigation it was found that the logs had been falsified and the engine had gone way past its 2000hr (+ extension) TBO limit.
A lesson well learnt……….

Dave, I have never agreed with the way engine hours are logged 😮

If an engine has 2000 hours of life and people at the club falsify their flying time to save them money……….. Well you know what happens, you were the pilot.

June 6th 1996, Cambridge Airport, Cessna 182.. No6 piston broke up in the climb at 600′, serious engine vibration then the engine stopped, immediate Mayday, not enough height to get into wind or to regain the runway, landing was downwind, across the airfield, aircraft stayed upright on its wheels but suffered serious damage, no injuries. AAIB report is available…….

Dave,

Glad to hear all ended well, well except for the engine.

Who runs the route between EDI and GLA? Never seen it myself, I assume its a Scotland > Onwards route?

I would hazard a guess at anything between 2000 and 10000 depending on the equipment used, and the type of flying being conducted.

It was Manx who flew it. I can’t remember if it was in Manx colours though :confused: I think it was.

It was a Jetstream 41 and I think it was routing EDI – GLA – CWL and it happened around ’94 or ’95.
