It was suggested that a commercial plane should do all the things Pre mentioned,I doubt the authorities would permit that attitude to prevail,that is all I was saying. |

| 863137 | 2010-03-03 06:56:00 | Was known as a good aircraft but I never worked out why, instead of having 4 low power darts it didnt just have 2 napier elands or tynes or something with a bit of power. The dart compressor is just 2 merlin supercharger impellors back to back. Just as Liberace was the answer to a maiden's prayer:D Those other two things were just a means of moving oil leaks and malfunctions between maintenance bases. |

| 863138 | 2010-03-03 06:58:00 | A 737 can easily land at Paraparaumu; doing it twice with the same aircraft might be a bit of a trick though. | R2x1 (4628) | ||

| 863143 | 2010-03-03 07:38:00 | Nope, helicopters are totally separate from flying. Flying employs aerodynamics - fling-wings use Newtons 3rd law. If you throw money down hard enough and often enough a lifting force will be obtained |
