G'day, Bob.


Yeah. My wife wont buy them at that price.

Yet, they get sold...

I reckon if the public can afford to buy bananas at that price. Someone's making a huge profit out of misery.

How is your poetry reading coming along?

Yeah not worth even looking at for the price.

Poetry is going well got bookings for April and May and then going down to Bundy to see whats on in July. The park should be in full swing by June with all the Victorians can never understand their number plates Victoria The Place To Be and they are all bloody up here. Still they are a great crew and make their own fun.

G'day John,

Good airine story. We had a similar event a few years back. I think it may have been the old Fokker. We were boarded late and pulled away from the terminal with no cabin air conditioning. The pilot addressed the passengers saying there would be a further delay due to a mechanical fault with the plane. The cabin crew came around and gave us drinking water and damp towles for our faces. After about forty minutes, (kids crying, most of the passengers hoping we would be off loaded and put on a different aircraft etc.) a female voice came on and said the problem had been located (mind you she didn't say fixed) and we would be proceeding to take off in 10 minutes. I'm sure I'm not the only passenger who prayed all the way to our destination.

They do say that statistics proove that flying is far safer than driving. It doesn't always feel like it is, aspecially during take off and landing.

G'day, Zondrae.

Good thing about the old fokkers they were high winged, I bet they could glide a fair way.

My story is true in respect of thin air and weight and perhaps a crash.

Your story, again, is about passengers worrying about the aircraft being airworthy.

We always gave a cheer when we landed back at Kingsford-Smith. :D

Regards,

John

G/Day Folks I believe all the stories about to Fokker Friendships they were in service in the northwest when we were up there, they used to weigh all the passengers and luggage and then decide who could go what luggage you could take and where each person had to sit so as to keep the plane in trim, thin air being the main factor, but please desist WE STILL GOTTA FLY HOME.
