[Russell]

brizy guy has a mate considering tagging along in a "GA" aircraft, could be handy. ( big one, 2 engines )He"ll need more n two engines if he"s guna drop in ere, and bloody good breaks.I mentioned similar things...........as well as a couple of "skinny" strips enroute. 3 actually. Dropin in behind some of them road houses gets a bit tight...............as you know.Update........maate here just rang me..........it"s a "caraboo" careful there dave. it"ll blow your house off its stumps when he hits that reverse thrust thingo .................( only kiddin )

[birdy]

How much dirt you blokes guna need to get orf??If ya need more n 200, youll havta park it up the road overnite, coz you wont be taken orf ere.That tank o yours Russ, [ the one with the poofy carpet] will it get orf inside o 200, loaded?

[Russell]

if ya referin to me " catch me if you can" red machine................rocket off 100mbut extending your strip another 500 might be a good idea......... ;D........for them other folks

[Des Garvin]

but extending your strip another 500 might be a good idea. Russ his kids have turned greenies and won"t let him do that. So you have to get off in whats there. Look on the bright side it will bring back real old memories. :Cheers Des Garvin
