Microland pilots... help please

Hi guys,
On Friday 16th Dec I will be hosting a "biggish" group of family and friends for a late afternoon "Fly and braai" in the Lapa at my new home Microland. I am really hoping to give as many of them as possible a taste of flying but will certainly not be able to fly them all on my own for obvious reasons. I am hoping I can convince one or two fellow Microlanders to join in the fun and help me with a few free flips around the tower and back for some of my guests.
You will of course be most welcome to stay and enjoy a braai with us after the flying is done.
Most of the people who are coming have never flown in a trike before and I'd really like to get as many airbourne as possible.
Can anyone assist? I would probably require another two pilots to get everyone airbourne.
Please help.... would hate to only be able to fly a handful.
Many Thanks,

Sorry Bundy,
Would have liked to help you out, but this is one of the few weekends during the year that Elands Quads and Microlights are fully booked.
Other trikers who also hanger there are Bugwar, Asterix and Peters. Perhaps one of them can help.

Thanks for the kind offer Chris, sadly I dont think that you can Hire and Fly.... Fanie only hire's the schools plane out to his old students as far as I know...
Very kind of you to offer mate, I appreciate it anyway.
I expect there to be about 10 PAX who will love to get up in the air.... Realistically I will be able to fly about 4. Depending on the weather.
Skin? Peters?.... anyone?

Hey Bundy
Yoooou can doooo iiiiit
I took 5 people in one arvie...that was 20min each,first being a bit bumpy,last being the smoothest sunset flight..so if you can take each one for a quick circuit..I am sure you can get all 10 done...just the first couple would be bumpy,so take the men first

as the women would
Have an awesome one

We have a braai on the same day with family that I have never met before. I doubt that I will be able to get away early enough, but I would have love to have helped out.
