Re: Pilot fined R12 000 for low-flying

How often do microlighters fly over these areas? Weekends? And we worried about the birds mating being disturbed?!! ** (**), 5 mins disturbance is negated by the rival male eyeing out his bird or a sudden required drink or poop or whatever, seriously this is pathetic. 4x4's weigh around 2 tonns.

Re: ADSL Deals

Why prepaid is better, sometimes you hardly use the internet YET you have to pay a monthly installment... With prepaid you can buy say 3GB for R210 and if...

Re: Minus 5 degrees-- flying???

One extra thing, I remember when looking for gloves I went to a bike shop and the guy said "what! only 100km/h these gloves will keep you warm at 300km/h - if they warm enough for bikers they good enough for you". After doing some research and those gloves NOT working, I found out that you get to a ...
