    this one wasn't so lucky, but still open throttle impact into a mountain and four people survived said something about rigidity of the airframe. It is worth to mention remarkable work of the rescue crews, considering the freezing January weather in the remote mountain pass. On the leg from Bratislava to Košice, the crew encountered poor weather conditions and was contacted by ATC and diverted to Poprad. Few minutes before its ETA in Poprad, while cruising in bad weather conditions at an altitude of 1,300 meters, the aircraft hit trees and crashed in a snow covered and wooded area located in the Tatra Mountain Range. Four passengers were injured and rescued while all 22 other occupants were killed. Causes: It was determined that the crew started the descent to Poprad prematurely following a wrong altimeter setting, causing the aircraft to hit obstacles and to crash. Poor visibility caused by snow falls and heavy winds blowing up to 100 km/h were considered as contributing factors.

    On final approach to Košice Airport, C-47A-45-DL # 29600 crash landed in a field and came to rest on a railway embankment. All 23 occupants were uninjured while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

    Hopefully they will share the release, consequently make it available from different sources.

    There is something very special about floatplanes, as I am getting older I am finding myself falling in love with props and floats.

    I hate to say it, but it seems like a given status quo in terms of the standard and molding quality of ZM resin . Time to be creative.

    Nice! Good news indeed Hubert.

    It is surprising that ZM didn't release this set in plastic.

    It might help to put it into hot water , resin ha the ability to "remember" the original shape and reshape itself like that.

    We are planning a road trip to the coast in the early summer, and Nelson is half way, so it is given that we stop by for a quick lunch/coffee :). Interesting that you mentioned music, I was trying to figure out what I like to listen to on the road. But in Mustang I ended up turning the radio off and practising downshift with a blip on gas, being all proud of myself. I know this all sounds super-silly, probably another demonstration of my mid-life crisis LOL

    I am actually very defensive driver, especially in the Mustang. Young people love to zoom on the car, cut me off and even race me. Needless to say that I am enjoying speed limits to the core of the meaning. For instance if there if a negative corner on the highway on-ramp with 80 km/h limit I am driving 80km/h. Working out my late apex approach and squaring off the take out line.

    They were installed by the first owner , an older gentlemen who did tons of work, but had to trade the car in for a truck due the health reasons. There was 4000km on odometer when I bought it. The car smelled like new. I am actually very lucky, the car has no issues whatsoever . Not counting the speed bumps and everlasting police presence

    I know you are , it is me and my dirty mind and immature so-call humour . Those pipes are made by Roush, so as intake . They sound very interesting, deep and no crackles.

    But seriously, sort of,,, I was thinking about unbolting the claps and polish them on my wife's bench polisher.
  22. Martinnfb
    I think there is nothing wrong with polishing your pipes Jeff giggle, giggle
