Slowly all the sheets are being stripped, and the poles are coming down...

Hi Annie
So sorry to see this happening. I met you and Dave in Dec.
Why don't you guys come up to Gauteng? Or maybe start another venture in KZN. There are so few schools down there.
All the best. Let us know what you gusy are doing.

It looks like we are going to fly with Dawie at Kroon (Rosslyn) early morning with trikes, then at Aviators Paradise when the thermals start to work for hang gliding towing (taking TUG up there for everyone who wants a flip

:D :D ), and I am working on flying an office. Passed my multi-engine flight test on Sunday

Only ATP subjects to go early May.

So we are going to fly more, not less

Still sad though. Now living in a house in Ballito. Feels all wrong. We thought it would be great to be a block away from the beach, but all the beaches are still fenced off. Very frustrated kids

Hi Annie

Was at Cato this weekend and spoke to John Young and also another airfield is dying so sad to see this really it is.

Thanks Annie. I pass Kroon and AP every day on my way to work and back. I will stop off to say hi.
Regards to Dawie. He looked after us a month ago when we landed in hot and and windy weather.

On another note guys...I know why La Mercy and Ballito are closing, but why Cato as well? Is interest in the sport not there in Durban?

Very sad indeed, but out of the ashes will rise the Pheonex (sp?)..... Keep heads up...

PS
Cato is to be sold. R33 bar was mentioned I think?

The problem at Cato is the Owner wants to retire and well he is wanting to sell or somthing like that.

Also there seems to be some confusion with the John Young on the Forum and the owner ofthe field is also a John Young. So our poor OLD

John young keeps getting the K@K for selling the field and it's not him actually. (Scuse the phun John

)
