Hello From Downunder.

Post by Lame »

Hi, I have just joined as a member here. :D

To get here I used the new link from another similar site, that I am a moderator of:-

http://www.ifr.us/user.php?module

Although this site is in the USA, I live in Brisbane Australia. :D

I am a Licenced Aircraft Maintenance Engineer, hence the handle "Lame" :wink:

I have been in the Airline Industry for some 40 years, working in most parts of the World. :D

Welcome to Luchtzak, Lame.

Nice to have people from down under, and even more aircraft specialists.

Hi, Lame. Finally I have a neighbour!

Lame lives in Brisbane.
Is Lame my closest neighbour?

BRU-CNX would some 8716km and 10:46 flying time; CNX-BNE some 7756km and 9:35.
When it is 18:00 (Monday 06:00PM) in BRU/EBBR, it is Midnight inCNX and in BNE it is Tuesday 03:00AM.
So Lame, you will be the first luchtzak member to be in 2004, then its me, or am I wrong?
And you will be reading the news before me?
Welcome aboard.

btw, Any idea what luchtzak means?

Thank you all again for your warm welcome. :D

Yes I will probably be the first member to celebrate 2004 then, unless you have members in New Zealand, or places like Fiji? :wink:

No, I do not have a clue what Luchtzak means? :?:

Lame,

a 'luchtzak' is the so-called turbulence inflight where you feel your stomach turning over ;-)

Hi Lame!
I beat you to 2004 by an hour, due to NSW having Daylight Savings. I'm in Sydney by the way, under the flight path. In fact, Sydney Airport has had an "Aircraft Noise" tax on every passenger for some time - and some of that money has gone to double glazing, noise insulation and airconditioning of my home. A waste of money, but the house is more comfortable! Aircraft Noise used to be a major political battleground in Sydney.

Anyway, I was still partying for Brisbane's New Year .... not sure if I made it for Singapore's.... I went to bed about 4am. Luckily, next day there was no ground based "luchtzak" ;)

I don't know how you can live that close to an airport, having worked on them all my Life, I like to live a LONG way away from them. :wink:

That's the idea I'm advocating since months for BRU. Concentrate all the flights on the Noordrand (the least populated area) and give them money to insulate (and aircondition :wink: ) their homes.

But I do not expect our stupid politicians (and Bert in the first place) to follow that sensible idea :cry:
