Such a tragedy, this is very sad news indeed - my condolences to family and friends.

Sorry to hear about this Coastwise. Lets hope something gets done about it!

Thanks guys, its been a great experience! vhpy Coastwise: Howzit boet. Yup, thats the next step. I'll be checking out the local airfields in the area and meeting the crowds first. Then will start to have a look for some good deals. Hopefully I'll have something fairly soon but I may just hire 'n fly...

Hi guys I thought I'd just let you know: after a 6month break, I have finally managed to complete my MPL license! I started in March 2008 and flew about 22hrs in two months. From June till Dec I relocated to JHB and took time out to get settled. After a brief 3 weeks back in my home town, and under ...

I had a good look at it the other day Chris - I thought it would such a fun project. When are you guys planning on getting started on the body work?

Hi Larry
I'm so glad that things are finally coming together so nicely. I'm sorry I missed the first flight - would have loved to have seen it - so I will have a good look in Dec when I visit. Keep it up!

PS. I'll help with the paint...I think a bunch of zebra strips would do well

Hey guys, thanks for all the kind words! I woke up early today and went to the airfield prepared for some more solo time. It was really great and I cant stop smiling vhpy such a good feeling. I managed to do about an hour this morning and only messed up on a "landing" once (a good learning experienc...

vhpy vhpy vhpy vhpy Hey guys, I went solo today! +-12hrs dual and with lots of good pep-talk from LarryMcG on the ground, I managed to land without a hassle 8) The weather was calm during the dual circuit sessions and the sun was creeping on the horizon. Larry then asks for a full stop landing and b...

:) No probs. I contacted Colette this morning actually - she seems to think its easier to pay via cheque as they will have to first confirm an electronic payment before processing the documents. She recons this causes unnecessary delays. R310 made out to SA CAA & R150 to Van Zyl aviation. I hope thi...

Looking good so far boss - not long now and there'll be a new beautiful plane in our hangars! Any ideas yet on paint / colours etc?

Hey coastwise
I know we've spoken personally but to make 'official' I wanted to say congrats again and well done on this achievement. Hope to see you again in the air doing the biz in the near future Now go grab that we spoke about ok?

Hi - yup I totally agree with you. I'm about to send my documents to Colette on Monday next week. Thanks for clarifying the details though. Please clarify the payment method - if we need to pay via cheque, then who do we make them out to: 1) CAA = R310 2) van Zyl Avaiation = R150 ? I would prefer se...

Hey Tracer - thanks very much. I'm close to 10hrs now and pretty happy with my performance so far. I've really had zero aviation exposure until I started the licence so it's all pretty new still. I've just started to get the hang of glide / engine-on landings now and did a couple of good ones on my ...

Hey guys. My first post on the forum! vhpy I'm training with LarryMcG in Grahamstown. Done about 8+hrs so far and looking forward to lots more. Currently busy with circuit flying, take-offs and landings etc. Lots to learn but really enjoying it. Great forum and a great community of flyers here - kee...
