  1. For those not familiar with airport-data.com, here is an example of part of the manufacturers list (for the letter J), with the number of aircraft listed in brackets: This is part of the listing of Mini-Max aircraft. The full list contains 19 aircraft. Note the multiple models, and only one with the camera icon indicating a photo. There were only 2 with photos on the full list. I personally have over 1200 photos I have taken on the airport-data website.
  2. A couple of random thoughts. For those who visit AircraftPilots, you will have noticed that I've added more aircraft profiles. They now total 1930, so I only have 70 to go to reach 2000. I have a few more lined up but it is getting harder. I go through airport-data.com where they have a listing of aircraft by manufacturer. You select a manufacturer and it displays all registered aircraft loaded onto the site for that manufacturer. Not all have photos attached. Often, when you select an aircraft, it turns out to be a licence built version of an aircraft which is already on this site. Also, many are owner built with no photos and only the flimsiest basic data, and only2 or 3 built. So it is getting harder to find new aircraft to add. The other random thought relates to comments by @Jerry_Atrick about the camera on the Samsung A17 phone I bought. These photo and video don't look too bad. 20251208_112529.mp4
  3. They interviewed Albo on Sunrise this morning and he said she and her support staff were originally meant to travel with him when he went to meet Trump, along with the press etc who went with them. But due to the introduction on the social media ban for under 16's, it was decided that she should stay here to deal with that which is why her booking was late. He said these matters are handled by an independent committee and he wouldn't be drawn on whether the rules needed reviewing.
  4. They are saying on Sunrise this morning that her trip to NY for a 6 minute speech at the UN cost taxpayers $190,000. She also charged taxpayers to fly her from Brisbane to Sydney and back for her own birthday party, and another occasion where shw and her kids flew interstate so one son could take part in a boxing match. Back in 1986-87, I worked for the Commercial Bank of Australia Ltd, which had just merged with the Bank of NSW, forming Westpac. I was a systems analyst working on the personnel system for CBAL which had to integrate with the BNSW system. For a couple of months I flew from Melbourne to Sydney on the Monday morning. Taxi from home to airport, bus into Sydney CBD. Worked until about 8 pm, taxi to Hurstville where the bank owned a group of flats normally used by relieving staff. There were a group of us, 2 to a flat. Stayed over the following weekend, then flew home after the two weeks, then start all over again. Cooked our own meals at the flat, took care of housekeeping ourselves. The bank picked up the bills, but it was no holiday.
  5. According to a report, Barron Trump supposedly has a net wealth of $150 mill.
  6. They chose to put themselves in that position. Oh my, I work so hard. sniff, sob. If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. They might be on less than the top public servants, but it's better than Joe Bloggs, who has to cover his own expenses. (ps.) Meant to send this reply this afternoon, forgot to press Submit.

  8. Not Albo personally, but ALP minister Anika Wells. Thousands of taxpayer dollars for air fares to fly her husband and kids to three AFL grand finals and two interstate tests. And they claim it doesn't breach guidelines. Obviously the guidelines need an urgent overhaul. If any of us wanted to fly our partner around the country, we'd have to pay for it ourselves. And I bet she's earning a hell of a lot more than any of us. And before you go calling me out for ALP bashing, I would be just as disgusted if it was a LNP member.

    How do you know when you are getting old? When the little old lady you help cross the road is your wife.

  17. When you think of the number of non-sporting events that take place at the MCG and Marvel Stadium, it will give Hobart a facility for entertainment that they don't currently have. As for the cost - you could compare it to the horrendously expensive Metro Tunnel and Suburban Rail loop that generations of Victorians have been saddled with. But many on this forum have exclaimed "But it's infrastructure we need.", even if not available well into the future.

  24. Veteran Australian presenter Arthur Higgins, whose remarkable broadcasting career in TV and radio spanned six decades, has died aged 85 following a long illness.
  25. But that's what the Vic Gov't want. We have a gas hot water system, had it for 45 years. Within a couple of years we'll be required to replace it with electric.
