The explanation for the crash by jap authorities was severe wind shear..plane bounced and flipped, then boooom!!

The jap translation for wind shear is ....I wouldnt have a f**king clue!!

Not good.

I was sitting at Narita airport later that day waiting for my flight home.

Yes we knew you were away in Japan as we bought some more items from your store.

The guys served us (God_speed aka Matt & I) well.

Windy Take-off?

Creaking in the airport roof?

Cheers,

Hell yeah aint that the truth. Then like UPS they dob you into customs and you get nailed for import duty and GST as well.

Only once, and never again...

well in some countries they like UPS are licenced duty collectors so they do levy whatever applicable taxes on their customers. can be a nasty surprise for some people.

on a serious note it's a very sad occurrence. and a very strange looking accident. from that one piece of footage it certainly looks like either mechanical failure or wind shear. poor crew. :banana:

    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
