Re: RIP John Miller...

While i had long respected John's pictures and writing in the various aviation magazines, I had the opportunity to meet him and his family for a much different reason. During the 2010 world cup they released a sticker book with all the players and he had posted on Avcom that they were looking for a ...

Re: Conversion on a Cobra

LOL,

I have never heard anyone say "yes" that fast.

Fear not, fellow aviators, The owl will return to the skies. He just had a few pressing bucket list items to tick off, one done, one to go in September.

Just need to get a renewal done now.

Blue skies boys (^^)

Re: Klipriver family bring n braai day 10th Nov

I did fly by, unfortunately it was at about 12,000 ft and the captain mustn't have gotten my request to do a beat up down 07,

Not too long and Charlie Romeo will get airborne again, nothing wrong with the plane, just the pilot :lol:

Re: Glove Topic Again :-(

From a boots point of view Bundy, I have a pair of Croc boots. They have the usual rubber whatever bottoms, without the larney holes, but the ankles are fleece lined, nice and toasty with a pair of hiking socks, they have no seams so nowhere for the wind to go. (!!) The gloves are another story, hav...
