Sick Of Flying Commercial Airlines

Featured Replies

Hi all, I'm not sure if your like me, but I really hate flying commercial airlines. First of all you've got to go through all that buggerising around at the airport, problems at check in with bags too heavy and all that crap, then they tell you that the seat you pre-booked is unavailable.

Anyway, I dont need to go thru it all, you've all been there, lining up to get on and off the aircraft and soforth.....Ive had enough.

I'm looking at lashing out and buying my own aircraft, why not afterall, we only live once, dont we? Okay chaps and chapettes. My problem being, I can't decide which one to buy, do you think this one will go with my eye colour, does it make my bum look big?

I never line up to get on or off, I stay sat down doing whatever I was doing until everybody else has embarked/disembarked, or better still wait in the bar until the last minute.

I think you've been doing it all wrong ND

Don't get the first one ND....it only has the AirCell T3100 telephone. You can do better than that.

But if you do, would you mind if I borrow it for a weekend?......there's a few girls I know who would be quite impressed and I want to join the mile high club.

What's a belted potty seat?

It's a seat with straps to restrain people who are potty. Like a straight jacket, but a seat.

Sure no worries, I'm driving tho, don't be scared ive got plenty of experience, a few hundred hours in single engine aircraft....I havent done my multi engine yet :D , but how hard can it be? :) . I have a good flying record, 200 successful take offs and 199 successful landings....I should warn you that there was one landing where I hit the airport fence on approach, but it wasnt too much of a problem, especially if you like aircraft with fence bits dangling from it :D .

I wonder if it can do loop the loop?

nearly as nice as me boat :)

I had considered trying to land the plane on the boat. Then this sprung to mind:-

WHAT?

Harcourt, you NOT a member, shame on you at your age.

Mile high club would be in a ballon gondola.

Think 5 mile high club, man...... hehe,......... memories of Continental when they flew out of NZ.

Don't need to go to all that expense

We used one of these for the monthly progress photos on Su'boom Airport construction

Even better, for US$13000, you can go on land, water, and fly with this Kiwi machine....

Yeah, thanks Humphrey. I did. I put 6ih_KBru6Co in between the .

Nevermind......what do you think of the flying hovercraft?

I reckon it would be great in some places in Thailand.....up or down a river, over paddy fields.....and ultimately anywhere. It does rely on "ground effect"....which means it's altitude is limited.....but that also means that a pilots licence is not required.

Like that other Kiwi invention - bunjy jumping.

Requires great faith in other people's technical abilities.

(Or a complete lack of understanding of the consequences)

But you added in [colour] and [underlining] and all sorts of shit.

Be plain and simple, like as 'ow as wot I am.

Agree with the first bit, disagree with the second. Yep, usually I'm next to last on board - but that only spares you the drama of one queue - quite often on the way in, you've got the ticket queues, departure stamp queues, then baggage xray queues. On the exit part, if you are going to certain airports, the sooner you're off, the quicker you're out. For example, every person you have to queue behind at Phuket Immigration costs you an extra c2 minutes in the queue (and an hour in a queue is not pleasant). I get off as quickly as I can and then do a very brisk walk to Immigration. I reckon that short walk (passing people on the way) saves me at least 20 minutes each time. (It can also save some time to Internet book your seat as far forward of the aircraft as you can get - and the Internet booking often saves you from the departure ticket queue when you get to the airport.)

As to the OP, put me down to purchase one share (provided that it doesn't exceed $2.50).

Thanks mate. Thanks even more for offering to drive. I think it would be a better mile high club experience if I didn't have to trust the auto-pilot while I was executing the entry requirement.

Did he say just $30,000 USD? Awesome.... :)

What is their effective air range?

I just HATE being on those 10 hour flights in plane that can only fly for 9 hours. :)

Ian, you want to buy a ticket on my plane, huh?

She has an effective range of 6020km or 3250 nautical miles.

Shes the fastest operative civilian jet in the world, top speed enough to blow ur commercial airlines away - .92Mach, thats 977km/h. If Im flying the thing, I reakon I will easily get that out of her :D .

Shes only got 8 seats in the back old mate, not including the outhouse or crew seats. So you can only bring 7 of the girlfriends with you, but dont worry, I will have some neat looking cabin crew for you to charm.

As my first customer, maybe you can tell me, where you want to go?.....and do you mind if we do loop the loop :D:D:D:D

Just short of the sound barrier! Cool.

Whats the ceiling? I'm wondering about doing that sine wave thing whereby the downward flight achieves zero gravity for the passengers.....with mile high aspirations once again :)

Whats the ceiling?

What's the ceiling you ask? It all depends on whether Neverdie is flying upside down or not. Most ceilings are about a foot over your head. Or, in the case of Neverdie's flying style... a foot above your feet. :)

Thought it was 13,000 dollars - but then 'e doan know 'ow to speek proper like, now, dus 'e?
