  1. Do you mean, don't operate airial refuelling aircraft, or don't build their own. The RAAF operates seven KC-30A Multi-Role Tanker Transports.
  2. What happened to the yellow hair? Lost his hair dye?
  3. Australian country music pioneer Lee Conway has died at the age of 85. The beloved musician died peacefully at his home in Queensland on March 29 following a short illness, marking the end of an extraordinary career in Australian music. His death was confirmed by long-time friend and veteran comedian Col Elliott, who took to social media to share a heartfelt tribute.
  4. I saw a report (I think on the Daiy Show) that they want hundreds of people inserting those tiny screws in iPhones, while developing industrial robots to do it, then the workers would be trained to service the robots.
  5. From the slope of the cheat line on the fuselage, and the fact the props are so close to the open window, I'd say it was definitely a DC3. and I dont think any door on a DC4 was that close to the cockpit window. Edit: Nev posted while I was typing.

    Brain Teaser

    Very good Spacey. She was the first female to get a pilot's licence in the USA, and the first woman to fly across the English Channel. That got no publicity, because she did it the day after the Titanic sank, which monopolized the news.

  23. Musk is distancing himself from Trump's tariff madness. The president's special adviser told a political rally he hopes to see a 'zero tariff situation' between the US and Europe to create a free trade zone. On Wednesday, Trump introduced a controversial 20 percent tariff for Europe along with even higher tariffs for other global trading partners as what he dubbed 'Liberation Day'. But while the president has been pushing US isolationism, Musk espoused a more collaborative approach. 'I hope that the United States and Europe can establish a very close partnership,' the Tesla CEO said during the virtual rally of Italy's Deputy Prime Minister, Matteo Salvini. 'I hope it is agreed that both Europe and the United States should move ideally in my view to a zero tariff situation, effectively creating a free trade zone between Europe and North America,' the SpaceX founder continued. Earlier Saturday, Trump appeared to distance himself even further from the tariffs plan as he ripped a top Trump trade advisor in an extraordinary outburst on X. Musk's dissent comes just days after it was announced he would be stepping down from the newly established Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Edit: Copy and paste. I think 2nd last para should read "Earlier Saturday, Musk appeared to distance himself...."
