Thanks Dave. Looks like I shouldn't have too much problems when I get there. Planning on arriving around 12pm (leaving extra early). I'd love to go and see Noel's workshop with the Ryan and Pitts etc but it won't happen, so I'll meet everyone at the Prince Albert Tavern. I'll be bringing my Tiger Moth clock and my latest one (if I can get it done in time), my A-4K clock. Anthony Galbraith saw the Tiger (pre anodised) and was impressed . Looking forward to it (but the 1000km ride, dunno....

Harley Davidson or Honda 50 step-thru? There is that. ;D I think my average cruise speed will be 60-65 kts so may take a while from Welly. ;D Just like the movie Wild HogsIs there anywhere cheap to stay in Cambridge, Dave?

I think Chris (TURBONZ) was talking of coming up from Wellies. I am indeed. Just figuring out a way to get there. May have to ride the Moto Guzzi up. Guess it could be worse

Another one worthy of mention in the good books is "Always". I mean, who could forget that opening sequence with the Catalina fire-bomber picking up water from the lake with those 2 dozy fisherman in it's path !! Lots of radial engined beautys !!
Other good ones: Love Dark Blue World, Strategic Air Command, even Air America ain't too bad.
Bad: Pearl Harbour, Iron Eagle sequels...I think they've all been mentioned here.

Hmmm....that's a very well-put opinion there, Dave. I never thought of it like that.
I wonder if they could put a big-bore exhaust and lower the CT-4's with large chrome rims....

Yes I saw that. I have a mate who is really into motorcycles, he says he treats all cars as his enemy. Damn straight there, Joe !!

And a few of us motorcyclists (myself and Bridget are into them) not making it to the end of the weekend. That's so sad.

Not really. I didn't think the "superstar" played that exceptional, considering he gets $1.0M a week !!! (yes, a week). I actually thought some of the other players played better than him.

At about 7.10pm tonight, I heard a rumbling noise which I recognised (no, not THAT kind of rumbling noise...). I called out to the wife and said come outside quickly. Just then the CT-4's flew low over in line-abreast formation heading back to Ohakea (I presume). It was awesome !! Oh, the joys of living under a flightpath.

I reckon one of those GAU 30mm Rotary cannons as found on the A-10 mounted on the bow of the Greenpeace ship would make the sadistic Jap harpooners think twice...... Be all in the name of research, like how their ship's structure stands up to 30mm depleted uranium shells blasting through it....

At last a guy has taken the time to write this all down.....
Finally , the guys' side of the story.
We always hear " the rules " From the female side.
Now here are the rules from the male side. These are our rules!
Men are NOT mind readers.
Sunday sports It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.
Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way.
Crying is blackmail.
Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it!
Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.
A headache that lasts for 17 months is a Problem. See a doctor.
Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 Days.
If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't Expect us to act like soap opera guys. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us.
If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one
Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during Commercials.
Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.
ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not A color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.
If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.
If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," We will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.
If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, Expect an answer you don't want to hear. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine... Really .
Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as Football, the shotgun formation, or cars.
You have enough clothes.
You have too many shoes.
I am in shape. Round IS a shape!
Thank you for reading this. Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight;
But did you know men really don't mind that? It's like camping…..
