The plane! The plane!

[White trash]

Unconfirmed reports that someone has stollen a small plane from Ardmore and is threatening to crash it into the Sky tower.

Shit.

[scumdog]

Anybody hear about the loony in the plane threatening to fly it into the Skytower?? Or have I drunk too much already?

If we had an Airforce we could shoot the prick down.!!!!

[Ixion]

Nah, tis true . No big deal.

[scumdog]

Nah, tis true . No big deal.

Especially since the Riviera of the South is out of range of this nutter-in-a-plane.

Police are on alert after a light aircraft is reported to have been taken unlawfully from Ardmore Air Field.

The aircraft has been spotted flying dangerously low over Auckland and close to the Sky Tower.

'Tis a big city. Plane here, plane there, tower more or less, ho hum. We got LOTS of nutters. Got 'em to spare. I'll organise a bus load to send down to you

[White trash]

Apparently a light plane has just crashed at some beach in Auckland. Can't be a very good shot.

[Keystone19]

You can all relax, he just crashed into the sea off St Heliers.

Panic over. The creme de la creme dining at the top of the Sky Tower can breathe easy and go back to discussing the relative merits of Krug and Bollie. The plane has crash landed off St Heliers.

And I thought it was the booze aswell. "if we had an airforce". The irony that this happens in the very minutes we see the "we don't need an airforce" Govt looking like they're going to be voted back in. Shit there goes my tax cut. If I got a decent tax cut I could afford to donate towards a private airforce.

By the time they had scrablmed and armed a Skyhawk (Were talking an hour or so here, wouldnt be on alert just now) the guy would have crashed already.

Do i need to add a little fact?

The Labour GOvt is the first Govt Since the 60's to actually give a decent sum of money to the Airforce... Yes they took the strike force, and ageing and not-utilisable Strike Force, BUT they have given us two new Passenger Carriers and are relifing all the other planes, Replacing our old Helo's and have given me a number of nice pay rises in the last 4 years...

[ManDownUnder]

You watch - the dude will get some slap on the wrist with a wet bus ticket due to PC rules preventing a good swift kick up the rectum!

I personally think the air force will be able to do a lot in the situation... they all line up and deliver a well placed blow with the toe of a shiney boot while the rest of NZ looks away.

Let's face it - whatever happens he would still come out better off than if he'd managed to find the sky tower (you know that HUGE FLASHING THING IN THE MIDDLE OF TOWN).

But no - he managed to find a beach miles from the bloody thing...

... nutter...

Bastards have done fuck all for me over the last 4 years... (lack of) pay rises included.

They do enjoy a hefty tax take which they gleefully deliver to those with hands outstretched though. I'm all for user pays... I'm paying - so where are all those on benefits I get to use?

You have it all wrong, it's "pay users" - and the more useless and non-earning the user is - the more they get paid!!

TRISTANK REPORTING LIVE FROM THE BEACH!
NEWS JUST IN...

Just went down there and had a look.

The plane is probably a cessna 182RS or something (most common trainer planes they have sitting out the tarmac there) and it is now lying with the right hand side wing stuck into the mud and the lefthand side and the vertical and left horisontal tail sticking out of the water.

It is about 70m off the beach.

The police chopper is cicling and lighting the whole thing up quite well, plenty of boats and the police boat is keeping them all at bay.
The police van and a HP car have just left the scene.

There is no praking down at kohimaramara beach so prak towards the hill side of kohi and walk down. There is about 300+ people on the beach and surrounding vantage points, reminds me of something out of an alien film. It's an interesting sight to be hold to say the least!


edit: And also.... about 30 mins before the copper chopper started circling, a plane flew VERY LOW over my house... mabey the plane was looking for me ;)

Damage seems low to moderate on the plane - probably clipped a wing then cartwheeled at a slow speed as it seems quite intact. Pilot may have survived, but I got there to late to tell as they had already left the scene [police etc]

[Right Charlie]

But do we have something capable of even shooting the breeze??


M60 off the side of a Huey would probably wipe the smile off the guys face...

I think I'm too pissed to get into this tonight. But good show they gave you a pay rise I truly believe the armed forces deserved even better. But of course they gave the Armed forces a rise so they wouldn't notice that they were rushing off to war on a donkey with a rusty gun, no bullets and no planes capable of fighting off a threatening geriatic disabled budgie raised by Osama's cousin's next door neighbour.
One day we will have a real emergency and need air strike attack ability within a few minutes and it wont exist even if the threat was happening 100 metres from our best airforce base.

Sounds like we got an exceptionally good deal from Sir Helen.

Sounds also like they think "if we don't look like we can hurt them then maybe they won't hit us" - yeah right!!

[Karma]

You can all relax, he just crashed into the sea off St Heliers.

Relax? :blink:

I heard the guy crash, no more than two minutes away from my house, loads of coppers around, and a couple of helicopters too.

If the guy had gone a bit more to the right he could've taken out a fair few people.

Oh... and btw... how do you steal a plane these days (after 9/11)??

[Sniper]

Oh, what an exciting place to live is Auckland

Point 1

We havn't rushed off to war. Pay rises were primarily to bring us on par with Civilian Sector earngins for comparitive jobs (if there is such a thing).

Point 2

Airforce does not need to be able to fight in a war, We need to support, and we do that bloody well with what aircraft we have.
Army Fights
Airforce Supports
Navy Defends

Its like that the world over. You will find that the AIrcraft used in wars are most often the property of the US Army, not the Airforce...

Have you anyclue howmany times we actually used the Strike Force in Anger? Once, and that was to tell a fishing boat to fuck off. Thats 40 Years of ownership to stop some Asian Fishing Boat from stealing but thats a whole other kettle of fish (pun intended)

Point 3

IF we get in shit creek, Yanks will save us, any particular reason they are still in Christchurch as part of the Antarctic Operations even though its pretty much all Civilian Scientists? Guess whats hiding under Antarctica Boys and Girls, thats right Oil! Yanks will be here in a flash as the best point of entry to the Antarctic, i promise you that.

Point 4

Im too tired to get into this now myself. Continue tomorrow perhaps.

[justsomeguy]

The guy had what looked like a Cessna - only had the tail wing and half the wing sticking out the water. Looked like a blue and white colour scheme.

He - looked like a dark haired middle aged pakeha guy ended up in the drink. Got fished out by some youngsters I think who were first on the scene.

They probably were in a green land rover discovery that was parked right on the ramp out on the waters edge.

There was the westpac chopper that landed and a cop chopper that was in the air, bout at least 8 piggy cars and one ambulance.

The chap must not have been that badly hurt cos he was laid down wrapped in blankets and was being spoken to by a bunch of cops for about 20+ minutes before he was carried over to the parked ambo.

The street was jammed with more cars than on the motorway during rush hour by curious people - heaps of cell phones and a few press people with their cameras.

So who do you think is behind this?? National, Labour, Winston the whinjer, Act ???? Or maybe the Destiny chapee......???

[justsomeguy]

Oh... and btw... how do you steal a plane these days (after 9/11)??

Uh - probably roll up to the hanger and tell the immigrant on duty that you're there to pick up your plane..........

Really?? Are you a muslim from the middle east who wears a turban and has a long beard??

If you're not then you're not a terrorist. You have simply been treated wrongly by society and have become slightly, morally disorientated as a result.

I think you should join a gym and go and learn a trade while you study for a tertiary qualification (also knows as going to prison). While we sort out society for messing you about.

[oldrider]

What a hippity hoppity thread!
The nutters are coming out of the woodwork aren't they! First Tauranga now this.
Just a note to the people who were talking wage rises. It is not the size of your pay packet you should focus on. It's the purchasing power of whats left of your money after the taxwoman has deducted her extortion fee. Having stolen her income tax, she then sets about robbing you blind with "levies" and "GST" and "Petrol tax" and!!! Oh the list just go's on and on.
Anything that is free is paid for you and me, directly or indirectly. The Govt of the day is just responsible for stealing it off you.
National was offering to do less of it than Labour for the next three years.
Labour voters told him to shove it. Is that a smart choice?
I didn't waste my vote this time, Jim Sutton got his arse kicked. But wait, there he is again, on a the party list and here come the left wing mafia again! Stupid voters?? You have to ask yourself, are you satisfied with your action?
Well, I guess that's democracy, I feel so privileged. Cheers John. :scratch:

The Labour GOvt is the first Govt Since the 60's to actually give a decent sum of money to the Airforce... Yes they took the strike force, and ageing and not-utilisable Strike Force, BUT they have given us two new Passenger Carriers and are relifing all the other planes, Replacing our old Helo's and have given me a number of nice pay rises in the last 4 years...

Believe the huey replacement when you see the NH80 (or whatever) on the line mate. I reckon the replacement will actually turn out to be a new anti coll' light and a paint job. How else is Helen going to pay for the burgeoning intrest free student loan rort.

[ben444]

bet you this guy got a student loan to learn to fly.... to easy to go learn and fly planes nowadays... helen seems to be quite happy to give money to "students", and flights schools around the country are very happy to take it off them, no matter what the character of the person is... I've seen some very stupid people fly planes...
The top 10 highest student loans are all aviation students...

Fuckers. I have a PPL and 1/2 a CPL. Had to pay for it myself and gave up in the end as it got too expensive. But now I can get an interest free student loan to finish it off. Plus if I say its part of my original culture labour will pay for me to 'research' my roots in the UK. Brilliant. See y'all.

[jrandom]

Alas, the latest reports seem to indicate that he was an instructor having relationship problems. Perhaps that guy in the other thread who needed help dealing with his newly-wifeless sad sack mate really DID screw up in the advice department.

Talk about relationship problems. The other day I saw the doc as after 10 years of shagging the mrs she was gettin a bit, well, loose. The doc said that they could do something to tighten her up a bit, but also mentioned that there was 'another' hole I could use. To which I replied 'what, and risk getting her pregnant!"

[jrandom]

... 'another' hole I could use. To which I replied 'what, and risk getting her pregnant!"

I bet you're related, however distantly, to someone somewhere in Liverpool.

The student loans scheme was introduced by the National Government in 1992. Bolger and Shipley were pretty happy with it too!

[ben444]

But not for aviation students... that only came in 1999... now we got hundreds of aviation students with loans between $80 to $120k and very few jobs at the end of it... so they end up doing something else. Aviation is a very messy industry.

[MacD]

Similar thing happened in the Diving industry, but its been reined in now I understand.

The Bums-on-seats funding model wasn't a great idea anywhere in the training/tertiary sectors.
