Trike touch and go at International airport?

[ZS-NEL]

That is exactly what I'm up to in the next 2 days. Already received a big "Karibu" (welcome) from the ATC at Kilimanjaro International airport. Just waiting for a nice cloudless day with good VIS them I'm taking to the air eastbound past the high mountain with the snow cap called Kili for a touch and go at Kili International. Only about 49nm from home base Arusha, but it wil make for intereting flying. "MVF join left base behind the 727 on a 20 mile final number two"
From there we turning North west pasing through the coriddor between Kili and Mt Meru towards Lake Manyara and end it all of with a nice smooth landing (hopefully not another 30 - 35 mile gusting crosswind ) back at Arusha.

Hi ZS Nel:

What you are experiencing is only what I can dream of! I can just imagine how wonderful it is to fly close by the mountain-though I don't think it would be possible to fly past the snow capped summit at an altitude of more than 15 000 feet asl

Please post pictures of your flight- we will really appreciate it.

Fly safe

Hi Marius,

I am working in Tanzania and I often go to Arusha. How do I contact you and will it be possible to "hire and fly" there? I would love to be able to do some flying while I am here.

Hi there;

I work for a company that sends 50% of our staff to TZ every week.... staff up in DAR and sites like Bulyanhulu, Tulawaka, Buzwagi, North Mara, Mwanza all the time.... to get this job I had to have a valid passport - sooooo now I'm thinking, if I have to travel up there soon at least I can get in touch with you and fly a microlight - right?

YAY..... good to know there are peeps up there flying microlights....
have fun - and WOW - what a sight to see ol' Kili... you lucky fish...

cheers for now.
Linda

Blue Max, Dries and Linda and all you welcome to fly up here. Only 4 days via Mozambiek along the coast. .

Ek is besig met my Buckit List en dit sal nie veel neem om so n uitdaging te aanvaar nie.
Veral as ek weet daar is n Suid_Afrikaner wie my kan raad gee as ek daar is en ook met die ander logistics wat nodig is.

Jy kan verwag om van my te hoor.
Groete.

HI Blue Max,
