Aimée at the wheel!

It's becoming part of the arvo routine. Aimée has to jump into the driver's seat. Hmmm... Don't know where it comes from ;-)

Rejected takeoff...

Luckily no one hurt but this takeoff doesn't go quite to plan..

Video - Ilyushin IL-18D Aborts Take-Off

Published by Michael October 13th, 2008 in Videos and Aviation Safety.

An Ilyushin IL-18D (D2-FFR) operated by Alada Empresa De Transportes Aereos - Angola, was filmed from close-by as it aborted take-off at Cabinda Airport (CAB / FNCA) Angola. The IL-18 overshot the runway, a few tires blew, but fortunately no one was hurt. The reason for the rejected takeoff is unknown.

Singapore F1...wow

Hi anyone,

Watched from home the inaugural Singtel Singapore F1 race on Sunday night, and from what I saw it looked to be a spectacular event. I would have loved to have gone, but as previously blogged just couldn't justify the expense.

As for the race, as most f1 races are nowadays, it was little processional. The safety car continues to be a wild card, who would have thought Nelsinho's accident would benefit his team mate Alonzo so well? Mark Webber's bad luck continues, he benefited from the SC but fell fowl of a mechanical failure, I doubt he would have finshed 2nd, but he would have had points. Poor Felippe, bad luck from bad design I guess. I would expect Ferrari will be trashing there automated green light system next race - it has let them down twice now.

I really like Singapore and I think the coverage was a great advert for the country. Maybe next year or the year after I'll get there... maybe :)
