    That would make a fair old noise on the way down, unless you are deaf, or its night

    I live in near St.Kilda Marina, most days they have joy parachute jumpers landing in the park next to the BP servo, hear the wind noise for miles away

    Waiting the day when a wind gust or failure arrives, its all about odds, powerlines, busy road, buildings etc.......NOT WORTH THE RISK!

    They were very lucky I know this area well and have driven on the road may times,
    so much for it being near Camden.

    Is this the only airworthy one left Steve?
    If so,I saw it in action in an airshow at Woodstock(west of Townsville) in the early 90's.

    I'm not sure if it's the only one, but it's the only one I've ever seen flying.

    They make a really unique sound too. There's a distinct high-pitched, turbo-like whine mixed in with the deep growl. Lovely.

    :)

    When I took that pic a couple of hours ago the pilot was doing final prep before firing it up to perform at the Barossa Airshow today.

    Yeah, I give in ............. I deliberately deflate my tyres, shower only with male nurses and only ever washed planes while the real techos fixed them :p

    Like as if anyone but me knew how they actually worked !!!

    "Killer" Clive Caldwell said that the boomerang had the wrong name, because if you ever flew it against the enemy, you would never come back.
