29 September - It is the 4th crash this year involved C212 plane. Furthermore it is the second one in Indonesia this year alone. 2011 might be the not so lucky for the C212 plane and its passengers.

To date in its 35-year history of the CASA C-212, there have been the 80 hull-loss occurrences, 70 of which have had a total of 540 fatalities not including in the newest accident in Indonesia. On average 15.5 percent of all occupants survived fatal accidents. Chile has recorded four fatal accidents in which C-212 military aircraft have been involved. However, the accident rate cannot be easily compared with that of other aircraft because the C-212 is considered a special plane designed for demanding applications and for use in extreme conditions, particularly in short airport runways. They are used as freight planes (rear loading ramp), troops transport, parachuting and Coast Guard surveillance at regular airports, but also in remote unpaved airstrips in Africa, in remote mountainous areas or Antarctic regions.

The multi-purpose transport aircraft was produced by the Spanish manufacturer CASA, Construcciones Aeronáuticas SA, today EADS CASA ( Airbus Military ). Let's see some facts of this cutie beauty old lady the C212 :


1. High-wing STOL twin turboprop
2. Ton load capacity.
3. 25 soldiers/paratroopers
4. Aerial delivery (HAD and LAPES)
5. Two pallets 88”x54”
6. Maritime patrol version (Patrullero)
7. 474 aircraft sold / 93 operators / 42 countries

This cutie beauty old lady in fact the king in its own class!

It's time to give up! : Uncle Garmin

By : Awaneer

Bye-bye Uncle Google! Now I'm switching to Uncle Garmin. After get lost a few times and lost 3-5 precious hours, I'm decided to buy GPS Garmin. It takes a courage for me to put aside my ego that I knew Madrid very well... Real thing is I dont!

GPS :Garmin.

Price : 99 Euros

Map : Full Europe updated.

Comments : Very well updated map... Good software... user friendly...easy to use... Easy to keep because quite small.

According to my study, the only reliable GPS product worldwide are Tom-Tom and Garmin. Their team did a quite depth study on the road and every related thing.

My Uncle Garmin on the move!

Lookatoo, Papago.... or other cheap GPS product made in Malaysia/China are only suitable in Malaysia condition and South East Asia country... That's why they are very cheap and can get around RM300.

If you want a very good GPS that you wont regret, listen to my advice : Go for Garmin or Tom-Tom!

Muchas Gracias.
