Well, once you have the spitty, you will need a "Sea launch" airstrip to take off and land on.

Wow, but eh. If I had that carrier I would probably grow tired of it in a month and then it would just sit and rust on my front lawn.

and what would you tow it with?

Still, plenty of power on that thing to run a huge TOG LAN..

So.. how many TOG members do we have now? We can all chip in, buy this boat, and go invade a small Pacific Island and claim it as our own..

Imagine trying to launch down at the local boat ramp

Be good to watch the New Year's Eve fireworks from though, wouldn't it?

Everyone on deckchairs on the flight deck, kickin' back with a LAN before settling in for the fireworks.

We'd block the views of half the other people on the harbour.. but what are they going to do about it?

Well at current membership levels it would require $15,118.79 US each , so using todays exchange rate that would be approximately $19,370.65 Australian each.

Given that we would most likely each want it for a weeks vacation, this would mean at current membership levels we would get a week every 8.9 years.

Alternatively we could all get together and invade New Zealand one weekend.

Pfffft .... WE wouldn't ALL have to get together and invade NZ

one or two of us could do it

Most of NZ's poulation is here anyway

[EnglishBob]

Perhaps this would be more within the TOG budget ...



It would also be suitable for New Zealand invasion plans I think

Nice and cheap to run!
98000 US gallons of aviation fuel * 3.785 = 370930 litres @ $1.50 =$556395.00 Au to fill up each fishing trip.
