Well done Alex, certainly earned and well deserved. Congratulations.

Interesting topic, I am involved with counter poaching work (honorary officers) with one of the provincial parks boards. We use trikes quite often but are looking into funding a full time aircraft in the parks. Bush cats, bat hawks, Savannah's are all on our list. As a voluntary self funded group co...

HI all, yes Borakalalo has been a hotspot in terms of rhino poaching for the North West Parks and Tourism Board so they are very sensitive to any aircraft over the reserve. My phone was buzzing on Sunday with reports from Bora. We are all aware of the scale of poaching (189 rhino's so far this year)...

hey all, a year ago at Vic Falls I paid $120 (so close to R1000) for a 15 min flip..(and that is with a 912 and gliding.. :lol: )..seems to me R1000 for an hour is a bargain from a tourist's point of view..it sure beats R300 for 6 or 7 min in a helichopter.

The end of a days searching for an injured Rhino.

Ja well.......Seems to me that Misasa is doing a hell of a lot to resolve the issue and doing it in a constructive and positive way that will help build a good long term relationship with CAA. Their fault seems to be in communicating this to the membership. Now the "stuff Misasa, what do they do for...
