Cow poop is a standard hazard at Cato. It goes hand-in-hand with the cows on the runway which usually have to be herded out of the way!

Ahh Shit. Altona is particularly bad for this sort of problem.

BTW back to the mag, received the lot from Cloudbase and I will disitribute it to the members of the club thanks. Great read, nice to see Fairy, Lamercyfly and family featured. You must do an article on Stephan at Morning Star, quite a character of Swiss decent, lives in the loft above the hangar, flyes a Challenger, when not flying he is volunteering for mountain, cave, cliff, building rescue, anything to do with ropes, abseiling, darkness etc. Just an idea

Oh yes and when he is not on a rescue, or excercise, or flying he is up in Namibia on a Eco-type project helping re-establish the sea life around some of the coastal diamond mines. Really interesting

Ok, so it's not AFskies but EKskies :roll:
Rolf, Ace, GR8-DAD, please -0< let me know when you receive your copies within the next couple of days...
Morph - you're a pussycat! Thanks for helping out... xxx

Duck Rogers - I know it's been great WX for ducks lately, but rather than quacking at the postman at your front gate, I suggest you PM me your contact details so we can sort out the ducks from the geese :!:
RV4ker - no prob, happy to sign up the rugrats as well :!: :lol:
