    Nice wines I have drunk recently - Red or White

    We have 16 blokes from my final school year here, so it’s a taste only. We’re about 7 wines in and all have been cracking good. Tasting, grazing and great company on a PERfect afternoon. 👌

    Qantas double status credits: Register & book between 12-18 March 2025

    What cheeses me off

    Talking of losing things in the surf... A few weeks ago I took my 8yo grandy to City Beach. He had his bodyboard, so we had to be outside the main swimming area, about 80m from the groyne. It was a bit dumpy, and after a while he got clobbered, surfacing with his shorts missing and just in...

    So... what car do you guys drive when not flying?

    Near miss at Chicago Midway

    That assertion seems inconsistent with Hoover's (Pilot Debrief) description I posted at post #10. If you watch that from about the 5 minute mark, and especially from about 5:55, apparently there are holding marks on the runway that don't show on outdated satellite imagery.

    EK421 Unusual Route PER-DXB on 17 Feb

    I was talking with my retired EK A380 driver mate this morning. He indicated that the swing to inland WA was unusual, but that the rest of the track not so much - at least that's what I understood, as we were cycling at the time. Other than that, he had no specific explanation, but we never...
