Oztules,

Bad news on ABC TV: Seven winched up after aircraft accident on Flinders Island. As you are a pilot yourself and the only way to the island is either by ferry or plane, I am sure I may speak for all of us by expressing our hope nothing happened to you or your friends there. Flinders must be a small place and seven must be close to the entire population!

Cheers,

I too am starting to worry, Did Not know that oztules was a pilot, but then again it is not surprising, Oztules reminds me of a Movie, "The Right Stuff", A line in the Movie Goes Like this, " You've got your real Pilots who get all the HOT PLANES and You've got the PUG KNOCKERS who dream about the HOT PLANES, Now What will you Two PUG KNOCKERS Have?. Gordon Cooper Replied, "SCOTCH"
The above Referred to CHUCK YEAGER and SCOTT CROSSFIELD who were the first pilots to break the so called Sound Barrier, Gordon Cooper Later Became a Mercury Astronaut with several Orbits around the Earth. An Old Movie, Based on Fact and Entertaining.
OZTULES,,, Its time for a post,, On anything. Regards, Greenbelt. Edited by Greenbelt 2010-10-18

I've sent Oz an email to see if he's still kicking.

Glenn,

Thanks for your query. There are old pilots and there are bold pilots, but there are no bold old pilots!
