Adventures of the Chain Gang!

Postby Alpha » Mon Jan 14, 2013 3:04 pm

Hello All...

Just thought we would post some pics of what the "Chain Gang" got up to this weekend! I flew to Crosswinds from Kliprivier to meet up with Tank, Madman, Tailspin and Ian...from there we went on a little trip to a place called Wigwam for breakfast....landed on the par 5 and then the par 4....awesome...here are a few pics...

Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory - Flying is making moments, memories

Was really awsome Flight.

Unfortunately my Gemini was grounded due to problems with the prop.
So flew with Ian and was just a bit short to land comfortably so we opted for brekkie at Aeroden.

But was great to be in the Air again.

Nice one Guys.
