I received a complaint from a member of the public who had two trikes flying about 300 feet overhead houses in Tableview near the beach on Sunday morning about 7am. One trike had a yellow wing and the pilot had a yellow flight suit. The other had an orange wing.

We have had CAA contact us before and they have mentioned they will not tolerate this type of flying. One of the CAA inspectors has a house in the area and is often down here over the weekends.

un/fortunately they did not get the registrations.

Please talk to your crowd, I will do mine

Hope they flew over my ex-house in Blaauberg....

Would have been great if they could break the sound barrier like the "Weerligte" did at AAD!

Do the people moan when the paraglider guys do the same Morph?

Hi Morph,

It might have looked like me, but I promise it wasn't me. My wife buys my clothes and she never bought me any polo socks. (**) (**)

Hi Morph,

Trikes out of Wintervogel on sunday were myself, (green wing) waaier (purple wing) and Trig ( red and black wing) and Dick ( black and silver wing). Were at the beach 08h30 with Cluless and another, but will still pass on the message. Cannot understand why guys can't comply. ## ## ## ##

Rusty

Saturday, I joined Waaier with a flight to Koringberg, ended up on a farm Doringboom or Dooiboom as it was formerly known, welcomed with great hospitality by the farmer Rudie, Esna and their 3 year old son. The stories told by them and the caracteristic evidence etched in the farm buildings then takes you on an amazing flight through history before firing up the Rotax for the flight back.

Hi BadNav

To answer your question do the paragliders have shit in tableview,we have it all along the coast,the law enforcement officers recently prohibited two of our pilots from taking off in melkbos because he thought we were kiters,he also stated thnat he is gatvol of us and you guys from landing and taking off from the beach,so to answer your question,instead of trying to pass the buck and asking if we get shit fromt these clowns lets rather support each other,

Fly safely.
