Adage: Beware of Greeks bearing gifts! Is Terbang Greek? :mellow:

[Scouse]

geez mate - with a watch like that people will think you're a pilot!I do have a Seiko Pilots watch complete with rotating bezel that is an E6B computer, that is so small it is useless especialy when yer getting buffeted by tubulence, the Tissot is designed for lap timeing.

[marty]

Got to love Swiss watches, though it is an expensive taste, some of the cheaper watches I saw in Switzerland last year were starting at 25000 Euro!

I have had mine for 3 years now and dont take it off, except when it needed a service which cost 135 Quid!

Putting a flash watch on me would be like putting mag wheels on a tractor!
I only went ag flying because I'm afraid of heights

I bought up large in Beijing, 6 GENUINE Rolex Oysters for NZ$25.00.
Bloody lot exploded in the plane on the way back.

Orta have waited and got the Bluff version for about the same price.

Don't you guys get nose bleeds above 1000'?

[Pussy]

Don't you guys get nose bleeds above 1000'?
Do some planes go above 1000'? :confused:

[terbang]

Do some planes go above 1000'? :confused:
Sadly, some do.

[terbang]

Is Terbang Greek? :mellow:

Nice watch! John.

Made in New Zealand using some imported scottish parts..!

[Pussy]

Sadly, some do.

Went to Queenstown on wings of the nation last October... was quite impressed with the view from up there!
Don't worry, Terbang, when I'm chucking shit at the ground and see a contrail above me, I ALWAYS wish I was up there doing what you're doing!
And I suppose when you see a trail of super coming from an aircraft far below you, you wish you were down there....?

[marty]

those sem fiddys in taupo do all the time...there was one at 16K the other day. but they get scared and come straight back down again. FAST!

[Finn]

That's Breitling you fool.

Nice watch ZX, I'm a bit of a watch collector myself.

May have mentioned it in the past, but my sem fiddy has got a higher Vne than my aeroplane... and it's a whole lot more fun, too!!

I believe that vertical circuit joins, are frowned upon... Dunno why.

[Scouse]

Are you flying a Cresco there Pussy?

[marty]

nothing wrong with joining close left base for 17 at 7000ft.

[Pussy]

Are you flying a Cresco there Pussy?
Not at Taupo. I fly a turbine powered Fletcher from NP on agricultural work. Still dropping shit, it just doesn't talk back to you

[marty]

is it pt6 or walter? can't quite see the exhaust stacks from your profile pic.

[Pussy]

Walter. Our company uses the same cowl for the PT6 and the Walter... you are correct, the exhaust stacks are the only visible difference

Nice piece. I picked myself up a little something 3yrs ago in Japan. I think only 12 were officially sold here in NZ, limited edition with medals from every track, also came with a MotoGP booklet listing all the tracks, lap records, speeds etc for 125's, 250's and MotoGP.

Apparently the face is 'red' carbon fibre, whatever that is, the bezel is inspired by a disc brake and clamp and the dials are sprockets. It's individually numbered, ####/5002 (5002 is the year 2005 backwards).

Probably smells nicer than the talking guano as well...:first:

Too right..! Being a born and bred rural lad I got into commercial aviation with the intent of being a topdresser. That was in the early 80's when the arse had fallen out of the ag industry. After riding around the country on my motorbike with a brand new commercial in my pocket and banging on a few doors, I sadly came up with zero job offers! Sort of stumbled my way through GA into the airlines as a second choice really. Certainly won't complain though as it has its rewards.
Here's a pikkie I shot a few days ago. 14 kilometers above Iran en route to Dubai from Lahore in Pakistan. As you can see it disproves the flat earth society. Also did a bit of bug smashing shortly after take-off in lahore, there were clouds of the (?) things just on dusk that made a real mess.

You didn't get second best.... trust me!

Meh, you all make my 'Watime' look rather lame @ $25, 8 years and still going though.

The trick to getting a nice watch is to make your girlfriend so happy (don't ask, there are instructional videos on the net) she buys you one as a gift on a holiday to HK.
