Yesterdays flight around the patch was very therapeutic. Crystal clear skies and quiet airwaves.
Beats a braai hands down any day.
Klip must be one of the best airfields around. I enjoy it so much here.

Hi Faizal.
I couldn't wait for the wind to die down. That's the great thing about Klip. There's always a runway into the wind. It was pumping yesterday but actually quite smooth.

There a first time for everything bud. I normally fly out to the east/north....
Desperately short on real cross country time...got a few months to get off the "patch" in prep for the Moerse one next year!
Fiezel been talking about klip for a while!
When I get back from my Standerton run on the weekend of 6th Oct...I will make a plan to come visit
See you guys soon...I'll rally the troops at FABA so long

Any one of those dates will be ok with us. We can finalise closer to the time I think.
Let's see if there are more guy's interested then we can do a breakfast fly-in.

Hi Falcon, what happened to the July fly-in this year? I know the weather caused a cancel but why not just a potpone?
