It's peeing down again. Yesterday evening wasn't too bad - met Aussielong for a beer or three and sat outside - although jackets were required. Staying in Paddington, or Paddo as the locals call it - about 3 miles from the centre. Apparently the forecast for the next few weeks is tulipe.Originally posted by MaryPoppins View PostGrab a straw and suck it back up. Hope Oz is sunnier today? Are you staying in the city?Comment

Bummer about the weather, but probably still much nicer than here. I think I stayed in Victoria for a bit, which was a bit of a dive.Originally posted by k2p2 View PostIt's peeing down again.

Originally posted by hyperD View PostAlthough the media always get hysterical about anything to do with aviation incidents, an engine shutdown in flight is a relatively predictable incident to deal with.

Interesting.
Interesting indeed.

Unlikely to be a compressor failure that would have damaged the nacelle and not the cowl. This is a turbine failure of some kind."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment
