Howzit guys, I am moving back to SA in january. I will be living on a farm between Petersburg and Potgietersrus working in Petersburg. Looking forward to getting my season tickets to loftus and shopping for a plane. Not sure yet what plane but I will be renewing my Intructors license, AP rating and anything else I can get. Hoping to be on some breakfast runs and braais with the boys... Cheers Jamie
P.S please do not coment on my facebook page yet. I have not told all of my wife family yet and my co workers but I am so freaking excited!! Going to give ole Finias a moerse groot hug when i land hahaha

Welcome back. A bit early, but anyway welcome. Where have you been living and how long have you been away?
Regards,
Vernon.

This time I am going to fly for fun. I am however going to get my USA com current in SA. I am thinking of getting a Jab to buz back and forth to hoedspruit where my folks are. Anyone want to sell a share in one in the Potties/ Petersburg area? Jamie

PM me, I have a Sting 2000 RG for sale. A great aircraft except I'm not using it enough to justify keeping it.

Looking forward to seeing whats new in SA on the avaiation side. Jamie

Howzit Jamie.
Was chatting to Steve Roe the other day about your whereabouts, hope its a good move for you.
Guess its going to be a bit of a surprise for your wife when you spring the news.
I sold AGW the other day, you gave me my last lesson at Microland in 96.
You've got ex students all over. Once you are settled, lets have a welcome back fly-in braai.
Regards.
Nico B.
