I reckon the three of us would have a hell of a time on the way swapping stories and sharing tinnies

Now you talking, Jaba!!

We may have to ditch the Kingair in favour of a 1900D, we can let Capt Wally sit on the left and between all of us we should be able to figure out to push a few extra buttons to help him out on the way

If you guys don't mind sitting on wooden fruit boxes then I reckon HH & myself can stuff the bloody lot of yus in a couple of Beech's, but we wanna see the green first hey HH? You can imagine how much green the ultralight guys would bring, being weight restricted & all! And their cheap.......................to run
Anyway sounds like BDV would be fun with half of PPRUNE's finest there drinking themselves into oblivion! Might even score a ride in a 'jaba' if I drink enough, then again seeing as the CASA goon squad could be there spoiling all tne fun best we just talk about the chances of survival in a jaba !
So anyone know if accommodation would be available there on short notice?

Ahhh HH, I might have one already not sure when it will be released into the wild!

Wally, the Dr did not talk me into it, but I think he is rather keen to have a crack at it! he is a bit shattered that it might roll the Bo point to point

'HH'..........shhhhhhhhh.........nah no cooked engine, the gas got turned off in time, low batt volts possible from someone showing a whole bunch of scouts thru the plane a couple of hrs earlier. Didn't think scouts still existed these days what with computer games etc am surprised they got 'em off their backsides!
CW PPRUNING at work??.......who would do such a thing Ever see the time I often post? I ain't that hard up for entertainment that I sit up all night adding to the dribble (me inc) in here.
