You can walk... Only took 5 hours to get there on a twin... It’ll take you 5 years walking.... I’ll make sure the beer in the fridge is cold...
Only person I know in HK is Sir Michael K.............ta for the offer ,I'll grab a beer at the Peninsula ...being a BTC and all.
Hope those pics with the new runways under construction don’t end up in the ‘pics that say everything’ thread...
Dunno. I'd rather watch a B777 / A350 than an RJ85... I was outside yesterday and heard a very unusual distinctive aircraft approaching overhead. Looked up and it was one of our -24s. I've never heard them before from below. It has a really high pitched whistling kind of sound, at least at low power. It was going over at re 220kt on descent a few miles before the outer marker. (Can anyone tell I'm starting to miss flying?....) Nothing like as interesting to watch as a B747 etc., mind you.
Still bloody sore. I forgot how slow and painful recovery for this is... It'll be mid-Jan before I've got any chance of flying again.

No, but I’ll be closer to 100 by then! Believe it or not, I’ll actually need a lot of leg strength before I can go back to flying. V1 cuts in the jet require immediate and very firm jamming of the rudder to the stops followed by effectively “locking” the leg on the side of the live engine until you reach a safe height and can tidy everything up and trim out the force. Not something you can do with a busted knee. Even taxiing requires a reasonable amount of pressure. No poofy tillers for me! And, unlike Gary I can’t just get the work experience kid to do everything while I wander off and cook up a salmon...
Greg’s got it on the roof racks of the Bentley. .. He said a couple of days to drive it up and 2 weeks to test it....
