I stand corrected, sort of. I wasn't sure if they said 206, hence the question mark.

would that be classed as a sighting, not a incedent/accident, unless they were pushed :shock: or the plane was going down

Presently there is a Parachute drop from 12000 ft over Osborne Park show grounds, VH-*FW. 1156 jj

There was a second drop at 1446 jj
Thought that this forum was to report on Incidents and Accidents ...

Not sightings or what you think you heard ...

I hardly think that 'lawn darts' is an incident/accident ??

Now back to the 'real' reporting ...

dude, let's be realistic it's more of a sighting than an incident. Planes and choppers coming down a bit rougher than normal is an incident. People jumping from planes is fun...so I'm lead to believe.

What have you got against perfectly good plane seats? I think it's a lot more fun watching somebody else do it. At night. With cyalumes.

It was a Malaysian Boeing 777, not an Airbus, and the incidents were completely different circumstances.

Still remember having to transport someone from Perth - Brunei when the Eagles were playing the grand final in 2006

They couldn't shut the cargo door and waited 4hours on the tarmac,

I've posted this in FESA as they were turning out a whole army: http://warsug.info/phpbb/viewtopic.php?p=56788#56788

Smoke in cockpit apparently.

Anything I say is my opinion, and has nothing to do with/does not reflect the views of anyone I was/am/will be involved with/employed by/volunteer for/associated with. There, I think that should cover it!
