Ja TC, no wonder your little fat Malema mate wants to nationalise your province ...

If GT450 spares are so scarce in Limpopo, don't try to open a cheap Thatchman scrapyard near your runway.

Ou Krok is so stil soos Malema ...

Thanks for all the positive inputs ## =D* !!!!

The biggest thing you need to wrap your mind around is that the plane can take it and the wing won't just break off ( am I right in saying that :?: )

Turbulence is inevitable and turbulence will always not be nice. Google "I like turbulence" :lol: Whether in a trike, hang glider, 172 or marriage ...

However, turbulence is like a bar fight ... by knowing who hit you, and why you were hit, is much better than being clobbered from behind with a bottle and waking up in a trench not knowing who, what or why you were hit.

Turbulance is there to prevent the non-swimmners from taking up flying.
