OK, so the topic header is a little OTT, but I had to get your attention!
So yes, John.com is back in SA for a few weeks and getting as much 'airtime' as possible.
Last Sunday, with the weather looking really great, I headed out to Marble Hall, lost the PAX and installed my long-range tanks.
My routing took me over Rhenosterkop Dam and Blue Max.
If you are interested you can read the attached blog: John.com Flights
Lots of pics and a few pilot learnings (things I did both right and wrong)!
Hoping to see my many pilot friends in the sky soon!

I love your long range fuel setup 
Something like this will work great going down to Margate

Very enjoyable reading John
Difficult choices you seem to be facing in life ... (Mauritius vs flying in Africa)
Cheers, Roel
