THE RHINO PARK THREAD

[pietmeyer]

Well, you guys did not make it to Sue but at least you got to see some of our flying valley. Was nice to fly with you Anthony, Freddy and Michelle as well as Noel.
The weather was perfect. Was Waterkloof manned when you went back?

Now you could also see that the area is not as intimidation as it looks on the map

Cheers
Piet

Loved every minute of it!
Thanks for having us Baasie at Aeroden, and Piet for joining us!
Piet, Waterkloof was manned on our way back, but were very accomodating. Freddy did well, considering there was bad signal interference on frequency in the area.
I loved the slow, irritated comms though...
ATC:Bravo....Oscar......Alpha.....please state your departure and destination airfields
BOA (Freddie): AER...O..DEN! Routing to Rhino Park!
Freddie, you did well talking to ATC considering the bad noise
Some pics I put on Facebook:

What an awesome weekend for flying! Thanx to Ants, Noel and Piet for a scenic flight to Harties and for my babe (Michelle) for the great photos! You gotta love this sport we do!!

Sorry about the low res on the photos - had to scale it way down to be uploaded!

@Ants - seems like even the Boeing pilots steer out of your way... evidence in the photo!

Noel - next time you can man the radio through Waterkloof! Those boyz were very accommodating with all the radio interference in the area!

It was fantastic, and there were plenty of cameras around, so I'm sure they'll surface sooner or later.

Thanks Rhino Park!

Here with a video clip of the event. Conditions were bumpy but still lots of fun
Video quality is a bit dodgy due to compression.

Nice wing drop over the first drop zone Piet! The kids definitely loved that aerobatics move LOL A big crowd like Friday makes our sport a whole lot more exciting! Thanx for the great summary of our trip!
