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

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
You can have your thread back now Naf.
