What Cheered You Up Today?

A bit of a sleep in....(yawn)

Saw my 'Specialist' at the hospital today. Looks like I'm going to be able to have one of the new anti-TNF 'wonder drugs' to help combat the Rheumatoid Arthritis, which is only available, in the U.K, to those where everything else hasn't helped. Won't 'cure' me, but should improve things dramatically! Best news I've had since I found my parachute worked on my first jump!

Good to hear Airframes. Hope the new medication brings you relief .

 

[Airframes]

Thanks Buck, got to be better than nothing, or what I have at the moment.

 

[109ROAMING]

Hope it works well Terry

Music cheered me up today

 

[Wayne Little]

Knowing I'm having a days holiday tomorrow!

 

[109ROAMING]

RNZAF maybe getting the Macchi's back

We may have some jets again!

 

[Airframes]

Did somebody steal them then?!!

 

[109ROAMING]

Nah course not Terry ,it's just our govt would rather give money to lazy people than operate an "Air Force" now I embarrassingly call it a flight school

There operational costs apparently didn't fit into the budget ,so they were withdrawn from service along with the skyhawks.Now with a new govt National things will hopefully change

although an ex-RNZAF engineer has said "it'l cost millions to get them operational again" .As their condition has deterioated while being stored.Our Skyhawks are worse off because about 6months ago they were put into open storage due to them being to costly to store in a hangar.So basically our only "strike wing" is sitting in a field covered in condoms" I say that seriously as they're covered in latex which is "leaking" hence about 3 months ago their ejection seats were taken out incase the explosives got wet.

pathetic really

Woke up with a clear head after a night on the beers last night... always something to be glad about!

 

[Airframes]

Good going Bomb'.
Congratulations on your result, Chris, and what a result! 100%, fantastic!
Daniel, sounds like your country had some d**k heads (in Govt.) controling the Air Force. Good to know you've got some aircraft back; if you need anymore, Gordon Brown might let you have some cheap, the way things are over here!

 

[Wayne Little]
