Waterkloof & Zwartkop Fly-in 12 May 2012

[thys bas]

The whole idea was to get 100 planes for 100 years, was it not?

Why not invite other aircraft to join the formation, Bushbabies, Kitfoxes, Cubs etc? I'm sure you can a few more aircraft in the air.

[HansK]

No LSA planes? - Foxbats? We are 4 Foxies that could come.

[Bulletjie]

What about an update please Mcfly? Is this still on?

[BIG-G]

Dear Nkwazi China. I booked for Battlefields months ago. Not my fault the dates clash. Would have been fun to be there. So dont get ugly mate!!!

[Tribal Croc]

Right, I don't see the following names on the list Name and shame them I say Come on boys man

Francois Prinsloo

mmmmm I will be there on the ground taking pics of this

[BIG-G]

Hey TC. Thanks for lekker breaky fly-in yesterday. Very nice. G

[Thatchman]

100 microlight formation - sorry guys not for me.

[BIG-G]

I have to agree Thatch. Could be a scary prospect!

[Dish]

Yeah - I wont be making this one sorry boys... but you have fun now !!!

[alanmack]

I too will not be there. I will be attending an immediate family reunion that was planned a long time ago. As we will be out of town I will not be able to pop-in. With family arriving from as far afield as Kazakstan and Australia I'm afraid non attendance is not an option.

Please do take cameras and use them! Send the story and pic's to nemo@webo.co.za.

Re the concerns of flying in a 100 formation. Manage it as 20 x 5 planes. 20 x 5 plane gaggles = 1 x 100 plane galaxy. Take a tip from migrating ducks - they congregate at one place. Then they fly off in small gaggles with each gaggle having a leader who keeps them in the 5 formation ( two left and two right) and away from other gaggles.

Re the comments about having difficulty with the scanned forms - I can add an online form on the MISASA WEBSITE - just send me the form plus the list (e-mail addresses) of who it must be sent to when submitted if you would like this.

Re getting support - I offered some time ago to e-mail the MISASA membership (current and has been's) if I was sent the e-mail that you want circulated. - The offer still stands.

Fly safe

Papers faxed through. Not sure whether it is filed in correctly but they are sent.
Will be flying in from microland with Shaun and Mike.

Looks like this idea is dying, slow and painfull. And all the effort that Les has put in.

Hi Gents
Despite the relative disappointing response I am glad to inform you the the event will go ahead as planned and kudos to those of you who are going to take part in this exciting event. I have a meeting this morning at 09h00 at Zwartkop with the show officials and I will post the outcome of that meeting on this forum.
The cutoff date has been extended to Wednesday next week and I appeal to those who want to participate to get the required documentation to me by Wednesday morning. For those who's documentation have already been received, I am glad to announce that your clearances will be faxed to you within the next few days.

Les

[wiskeyfoxtrot]

Les, how is this flyby going to happen... even now with the amount of aeries we have now we need a plan on how many in a " gaggle " or whatever. I know you have a lot on your plate so lets see what the guys think ?
I dont want to sound negative,but i dont want to see any accidents happening....

Does anybody have ideas on how we can do this ? ... a mass of aircraft in the air without a plan is looking for kak !

Thanks guys
