Shoosh now John the owner is also on the forum and just now he finds someone in KZN for the service (Bennie die man praat twak )
By the way is your GT stil in South Africa? Should I fly it for you to USA?

No, ZU-sEXY is now N457YJ happily flying around Florida.

Mind you, it's only 8500 miles from Light Flight to here with a small dam in between.

If you double the miles one can always go AROUND the big part of that small dam.

Just to put the small stuff we fly into perspective.

The Boeing A380 that brought us here almost went over the North Pole at a mere 39000'.

I suggest you don't try that route.

Almost always the case on that route. Often more height / safe height means more headwind.

Keep us informed please.

landed about 11h25 at Petit after a horror of a flight from Standerton. I was hanging on that bar for life and nothing from just over the mielies to 10 000ft helped. Everywhere just the same. First part was smooth but terrible headwind was doing 49mph ground speed at some stage. Was chatting on sms and bbm to Sias and others but after Standerton I did not reply to any messages. I did not have a free hand.
