What a success....


I think a small extract from the speech is fitting....

"And so we get to you lot.....the many pilots I've had the priveledge of flying with so many times.... The VIP's...... the “Die Hards”....the stalwards....the thugs and the trikenuts.....you know who you are!
If you've braai'd in 15knts of wind and rain at Microland....chances are you are probably one of them? For some of you it's not getting you here that's the problem.....but rather trying to get you to leave! Guys... it is YOU who make this fellowship of flying fanatics what it is. To all of you who join us for our monthly braais...or a flip to wherever...... it is YOU who keep this spirit alive through simple participation. It is and will always be the only requirement to being a Tailwinds Pilot...All you have to do is pitch up!
It does not matter where you come from or what you fly or even if you do not fly at all....Whether you are a student who has just gone solo, a 1000 hour veteran... or even a moron like Bundy who sometimes gets lost on the way to Delmas.....you are always welcome and encouraged to attend. The family atmosphere you see here today is what our goal has been right from the beginning.... Having been pretty involved in the administration of our sport over the past few years I can tell you that there is no better way to promote recreational flying than this. It is where the passion for flying is born and grows.... where friendships are made and knowledge is gained..... I thank you all for that"
To Paul and Dionne...I salute you.
Thank you so much for all you guys have done for Microland.
