Welcome

Doug and I were having a usual coffee break, as we do between fights. I suppose the subject came up about a newsletter then progressed to something that we could have on the website. I think somewhere in the conversation we came up with a hard copy and also copy to live on our QMAC web site as well. So...... here we are.

We plan is to print anything that’s gossip on the flightline or in the club house or anywhere for that matter. We will even give you a blow by blow account of misshapes (which is editor and newspaper talk for crashes) complete with pictures and other things like the cold hard facts with the slightest resemblance of the truth or innuendo (no, an innuendo is not an Italian suppository).

The IMAC

The imac competition brought our club’s chef (young Ken) to the forefront of culinary delights with his expertise on the BBQ. There was only one complaint, Ken still insists the carpet under the BBQ was clean and there was nothing wrong with that banger which was dropped…….

Also, the imac Competition seemed to anger the locals. Complaints were made about the noise (not from the bloke whose banger got dropped).

Now, Max, not to be confused with Fred’s new Fat Max flight box (more about that later) has been active in pacifying the locals. A small budget has been set aside for This is Ken boiled lollies, silk stockings and colour crayons to win the locals back.

Sad event

Hats off lads, Dane has finally broken his 30kg big Stick. Yes, half inch armour plating and16 tubes of Araldite didn’t save it this time, clawed from the sky in its prime (now put your hat back on).

Sound device.

The club has purchased a device to measure the amount of sound generated from our airfield. Fred has measured several things and the results have been outstanding, Frosties big blue aeroplane 90db, Magpie 50db before feeding 30db after, men’s dunny 95db, fellow pilots including ourselves were amazed at these results.

Oh boy! It’s a FATMAX

Pictured is Fred’s new FATMAX flight box. It has lots of draws and compartments and stuff. Someone told me that there were strippers in the second draw but I was too bashful to look. There was discussion that this box is so big that the committee is considering charging rent on the space it takes up in the pits.

Magic moments

Your health with Doug

This section is devoted to your health, as Doug is known for his health advice and his club wide experience is well known you can anonymously ask for advice from him. You will read how valuable his advice is. Just check out the advice given to one of the members wives below.

Mrs X from Downer has asked this difficult question…………………….,

Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables?

Doug: You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does a cow eat? hay and corn. And what are these? vegetables. So a steak is nothing more than an efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system. Need grain? Eat chicken. Beef is also a good source of field grass (green leafy vegetable). And a pork chop can give you 100% of your recommended daily allowance of vegetable products.

So……………………hope that helps.

More magic moments

Got something to sell

This is the place to advertise. We will advertise all your unwanted new and used bits and pieces. Here we can sell every thing from bedroom ceiling mirrors left over from your last renovation to second hand nails and we could even advertise model aircraft bits and pieces. But Frosty no dump stuff please.

QMAC Combat

We also have set aside this space for the QMAC Combat boys. There are a growing number of members (about4) that are into the combat and we at Flightline believe this number will grow (maybe to 5) as time goes on. Observers shouldn’t be put off by the sound of crushing mid air collisions, close shaves and prangs. All those who require some info see Frosty or Simon or Jamie or Demetrius or anybody.
