Flight Around Cape Town

Postby Apicella » Mon Feb 08, 2010 10:13 am

Hi There.
I'm going to Cape Town for a few days at the end of the month and was wondering if there are any Clubs near the Water Front area that take passengers up for flights.
Please PM me.

Regards
Leon

I think there are enough enthusiasts around that would be happy to take you for a flight Leon.
I for one would be glad to take you around in my Gyro if you supply the fuel @ about 20 liters an hour.
Starts getting a bit expensive with all the visiting family and friends...

Let me know closer to the time and we will make a slot. Will be from Morningstar.

I don't mind paying for the fuel at all.
I'm taking my wife down to the Cape for her 50th and we'll be there from the 24th to 28th Feb 2010.

Leon.........................
WARNING
A flip with Len around the peninsula is NOT recommended........... :(> :(>
It will lead to you 'trading in' your photographic equipment for instruction, and possibly your wife for a Gyro.
You are dealing with highly explosive decisions here.
PROCEED AT OWN RISK. (^^) (^^)
A 'flip of a lifetime' awaits you. Enjoy (^^) (^^)

A word of thanks to Len for taking the time out to take me on a truly life time experience flight around the peninsula it was absolutely stunning. I never once felt un-safe and appreciate his dedicated passion to flying and safety.
Thanks Len
