| 1303723 | 2012-09-28 23:22:00 | Yeah, I’m a fan of the Vodka Burner too. I saw it years ago, taken in Canberra Australia if I remember correctly. And I laughed at the “You’re going to have to go faster than that Captain” comment from the cameraman when the plane was halfway down the runway. Only the Captain and his laundry man will ever know what a fright he got. :D |

| 1303725 | 2012-09-30 05:38:00 | Reminds me of the topdressing Dac (James?) that operated out of Woodbourne and struggled to get over the fence, used up all the runway | Whenu (9358) | ||
| 1303726 | 2012-09-30 22:32:00 | Ach I'm starting to think I might enter the industry too late for the fun. I'll have to go get some flight time with those brazillian blokes, they look dodgy :D. Engine start procedure, rudely interrupted by slap to the hand. Tell him who's boss haha. I remember one of the farm hands telling me how a top dresser (dunno what he was flying) took off with a full load of super to do with range hills, he only just managed to get off the ground, used up all the runway and some and cleared the hills with cm to spare. 20 mins later he calls back to say the release is jammed and he cant drop his load, not enough fuel to get to napier... only choice is to come back to the farm strip. Must have been shitting his pants, apparently he managed to land it safely. God know how! |
