planes dont usually go backwards (unless its a tigermoth in a 40kt headwind - talk about short takeoff and landing :P) - even though it is still technically moving forward :P

My post was in jest, but I saw Emu Airlines fly backwards on a number of occasions. It was a damned slow flight to Learmonth too.

Bad luck mate. Better waiting a bit than having too big a cross wind and having problems.

Two massive log periodics and some other interesting looking antennae. Speaking of that beach, I used to be the guy that would ride up and down it on a quad bike when it had to be vacated. Managed to reallocate that job back to the client. That was never in my job description :shock:

You can have your thread back now Naf.
