Who says you cant talk your way into a cockpit with 10 valiums in your guts and turn off a plane.

I grew up on flight sims. Planned to join the airforce as a pilot but my eyesight was failing. Airforce said that I would need to find out when I could get surgery to fix my vision so I checked with my doctor who said that I couldn't get it until my eyes settled around 35, by which stage it was too late to join the airforce.

Ended up doing it privately. Had 3 lessons before I realised that there's no chance I could afford my pilot license.

Damn!

I looked into getting my pilots licence but the stupid meds I'm on prevent me from flying.

Automatically makes you a pilot, IMO.

Do you feel the need for something?
Do you really want me to say it?



I feel the need, the need for speed!

707 is a classic. I see it's a refuelling one.

Travolta is donating his QF 707 to HARS in Albion Park. Can't wait to see it.

I'd go with Hilary Clinton to see a plane!

You been to HARS? The super constellation or "Connie" is one beautiful plane.

Our place is within Richmond RAAF restricted zone. Means we get to see some cracking aircraft buzz overhead.

Lockheed Martin C-130J Super Hercules
Boeing Globemaster C17A III
Army Blackhawk and RAAF choppers.

Just to name a few.

The Airbus A380 is the definition of man-made art... yet people worship Michaelangelo.

There is something about the C-17 I love. Super fat but I love it.
