Thankfully!!  Not the same fuel economy as the i30 CRDi!!  This one uses 6lts per minute!!  So in the cruise about 300lts per 100km!!  :scared:

Oh yeah!!  Nearly 3800 shp!!!  And the torque!!  Well, that was displayed as a percentage, and the engineers got to that, so instead of maximum being 100%, it was 106% for two engines and 144% for one engine operations (emergency).  Seriously, I thought the maximum that you should be able to get would be 100%!!! :idea:

Gee you guys have good memories!!  I was looking hard for a photo of a desk, but they just aren't as sexy!!

Oh, I got the fuel figures wrong for the Seahawk, it is 10 lts per minute (1 ltr every six seconds).

Next year will change work vehicles again, this time something a bit more green.

Ha, no padocks (yet).  Working with/for the Army flying green helicopters.

I'll be instructing instructors on how to instruct.

You know what they say:

Those that can - do.  Those that can't - teach.  Those that can't teach - teach teachers (that's me).  Those that can't teach teachers - administrate!

haha fortunately both, but only on the ground....  though the tow could teach the hornet a few tricks!   flat out in reverse, smack it into fwd, plant foot on throttle and hold on!  longest wheelie has to have been 500 mtrs at least!
