Well done Larry. missed you on the way back...heard the escort on the way back with the Jab from the office...

The flying around sIbaya is the best in the west, the babies live on their mummies backs.

Francois name is Berger remembered after you left and based at mBazwane !!

Are the ears better now ??

Stephan, the rule originates from old shipping laws and was adopted in aviation.

If an approaching aircraft is encountered, you stick right. Right is right of way.

If flying down the Natal coast from North to south and aircraft aproaches you head-on, you will keep right of him. The approaching aircraft will in turn have to pass right of you. Thus no comms would be needed, nor "should" you have to worry of his intentioens, ... if he knows the right is right law.
