Microlighters

On Friday 27th November 2009 I saw 4 microlights flying over our lodge near Bela Bela. It was at about 10 to 5 when they came from Pretoria direction and looked like they were heading towards Kunkuru Lodge or maybe Zebula? I ran into the house to get my binoculars and could only see the last one’s reg ZU-PLY (I think) .Who are you guys and where were you going I am busy finishing my runway (only windsock needed) when it is finished you guys are more than welcome to pop in for a coke.
I will be posting a fly to the bushveld venue in the next couple of weeks.

Safe flying and hope to see you soon

Uitgevang !!!

ZU-PLaY is part of the Rieties hunters looking for birds.

Enjoy !



Well spotted Tribal Croc !!

Rietfontein gang flying to Zebula indeed - Notice how fast they were going Tribal Croc? GT450 and perhaps a Quick R or 2 in there too

Hi TC,
If you're still looking for a windsock, I will donate my spare one, on condition I can also drop by some day
Post your co-ords and I may even pop out and deliver it (windsock) personaly.

This must have been a white GT450 very KEEN to get to Zebula! Was it flying LOW?

ZS-NEL these guys were so low I saw giraffe this morning with “short back & side haircuts” Nope only joking

Hope they enjoyed their trip

Aha saw them on their way back at 10 past 9

Watch out those okes, they drink far too much and like to badly influence and take advantage of their friends especially when injured!!
Uncle Barrell Roll??!! Dr Thatch??!! Straydog??!! Stevie??!! Focker??!!

I once crossed the Hartbeespoort dam wall (barely) flying pax with an unnamed Rieties-boy (Make that Oom) - They have what they call the "Rietfontein safe crossing altitude" - Was a thrill indeed

Wow!! Great offer TC thanks. Done deal. I in fact landed up in the area this morning, unplanned. Had I known I was heading that way, I would have carried a windsock with.
I'm busy next week, but PM me your contact details and I will make a plan to drop it off after 6 December.

Yep indeed - twas us - Guilty as charged....

Thatch and I, Andy, Big G and Rob Weightman, headed off to Zebula on Friday afternoon. After a bit of Storm dodging, 40 odd miles out from Zebula the weather was beautiful and we had a magnificent flight for the rest of the way... What goes on tour goes on Facebook... !!! Just kidding but what followed was a GREAT Friday nights party and laughter

Perhaps Pinky perfect will enlighten you on another thread.....

That said though, thats a great offer thanks croc and as soon as your ready let us know, we will pop past and have a coke for sure.,...
