Whoops - time change made me tooo late for this one - however - good to see the pics especially the Avro made by the Qantas Apprentices
As a person very much involved in the birth of the Qantas museum - I have already complained at Orbx's attitude to
the airfield that is the birth of Qantas - and what they show in Australia V2. I made a comment way back about this - and I note
you commented in that diatribe of mine. Here's the reminder.
https://orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/185125-Orbx-and-qantas/
I haven't changed my mind - and have not bothered with the Ant version - because all I have is Orbx on P3D and enough problems
without adding to them by using other addons - except a/c of course. As for their "Policy of not repeating other developers airfields"
that has been proven to be cods-wallop. That might have been the case way back in the late last decade - but to an Australian company
its about time Longreach was as important as Caboolture/ Bundaberg etc
and this time without a huge and small Yankee fighters and bombers
I mean this is supposed to be the famous Qantas hangar
OZx has a great rendition of Longreach. This includes the QANTAS hangar, the B-747, DC-3 and other QANTAS stuff.

D'you think they're going to 'put me down'?
I once had a doctor who served an apprenticeship as an electrician then done a Vetinary Science degree and then did A general medicine degree. I mentioned it to him once and his reply was "If I can't cure you or spark you up I can legally put you down."

Don't mean to change the subject, but has anyone seen my glasses?
Have you looked on the top of your head?

It sure does. I meant to add the 8 in my reply but you know how it when you are an old fart.

Of late I have had two bedtimes..one about 10PM and the other around mid day.. I feel better for it too.. Terry.
Same here Terry. I sit in my recliner just after lunch to watch the cricket or whatever else might be on the idiot box worth watching. That might be about 12:30 but the next thing I will remember is waking up around 1600 or 1700, just in time for the news.

72 yesterday and finding myself spending less time on forums. Only look at headlines that really stand out.

Another great well monitored forum site is the sim out-house. As friendly as this site and political get shut down very quickly. I am a mod over there and we tend to watch some threads develop and if they look like getting nasty a arning shot is fired across their bows and if that doesn't work thread gets shut down.

Remember them all too. In the 50s I lived on a farm and we had neither electricity or phone. In about 1959 my parents purchased a washing machine with a Villiers petrol motor with levers on the side for the washing cycle and for emptying it. Another lever was for the wringer which had a handle on the top to adjust the amount of pressure to use to squeeze the water out of the clothes.

Was there a Royal wedding?

Aye from me also.

I am grateful for growing old because too many people have never had the chance to grow old
-
Same with me. But someone told me it was a sign of dementure. I disagree as those memories are some of the best. Now what did I do yesterday?

And a lot of the young whippersnappers of today's generation cannot understand our sense of humour because we use the full and correct spelling instead of computer talk.

Would happily shout a beer or two if I could. We old coots now have our own play room.

Ken your "dated" humour was/is fantastic; have not laughed so much for quite a while
Just when I started to feel old at 64 you guys have made me feel like a whipper snapper again
My wife believes that I am a member of the Old Farts Club because when I fart she says that it smells like it has been brewing for years.
Bassman there are 2 stages of getting old. Turning 60 you join the Old Farts Club
and at 70 you become an Old Coot 
.
Hopefully JV or someone with authority is following this thread and moves it to its own sub-forum called the Old Coots Club.
-
Maybe if we ask JV very nicely he will create this thread into a stand alone forum/club for us oldies. Stipulated age limit is you must be 70 plus.

I'm still only an old fart at 71, 72 in October but like Terry I feel like I am falling apart. Flying keeps me sane.

Thanks Neil and Spud.

Neil, are you releasing these airports as individual packs e.g Pack 22, 23, 24 and 25?
So far since Pack 20 or 21 they seem to be bundled into a full package from 1 - **. With the last release there was no documentation indicating what the new airports were although there was mention of some documentation in FTX Central but I cannot find it. I used to enjoy each individual pack with its airport list and sometimes a KMZ file. With this information I would plan a flight that would touch base with all new airports.
While I appreciate your work I would like to see individual packs for those who already have the earlier packs but don't mind seeing a complete pack for Packs 1 - 22.

So now that I only show one order number., but since buying Orbx products when Orbx started, my first 20 purchases will be under one email, and then with a change in my personal situation I now have a new email address of which some 80 items were purchase. Will this be picked up by the Orbx search engine scanning for pirated items, and because my Orbx purchase comes from two email addresses, will it consider it dodgy, and wipe my Orbx file.
All your orders will fall under your current email address. That is the email address you are using to login to FSS with.
I have changed email addresses 4 times over the years and have had no problems with FSS.
Cheers

Been waiting for this to happen. Have had signatures turned off for a long time because of the excessive signatures.

Already done mate.

I was born in 1946 so I am a relative junior but I also grew up in the era when you could leave your front and back doors open at night during the summer for air conditioning. Also if you went away for a holiday you could give your neighbour your house key so they could feed your pets while you were gone.
