THE RHINO PARK THREAD

Postby D2O » Thu Jan 24, 2013 6:34 pm

Ok, so I created this thread cause I'm jealous of the Microland thread :mrgreen:
Rhino Park fliers, post your sorties, pics etc. here!
Any happenings at Rhino Park will be posted here :wink:
(^^)

Website:
http://www.flyrhinopark.co.za
Rhino Park is located at 25⁰ 49' 59.80"S 28⁰ 32' 27.09"E, 4780ft AMSL, off the R512 close to Aeropark Zynkraal, Kitty Hawk and Bronkorstspruit Dam vhpy
IFR - On N4, take Bapsfontein / Rayton / Cullinan turnoff on R512 towards Bapsfontein.
800m tar runway (09 / 27)
800m gravel runway (11 / 29)
Procedures:
Frequency :135.6Mhz
Join overhead 6000ft
Do not overfly RC airfield to the North of 27 threshold
All circuits away from hangars, trees and quad bike area
(27 is a LH circuit, 09 is a RH circuit)
Taxi via runway 03 to parking area on grass, or near large tree on LHS by Rhino Park Flight School clubhouse
Tea and coffee available at clubhouse, but confirm with Alex Rudd(Leprachaun)
Fully licensed bar and restaurant by the quad bikers area :twisted:
We're a very active airfield on Saturdays. Exercise caution as there is a lot of fixed wing activity here. Use gravel runway if tar is too busy.
Pop in and find out aviation's little secret hideout!

Had an awesome flight with Freddy to Renosterkop & tried to recce some private strips along the way (b.t.w. Bronkhorstspruit Airport is non existent :lol: http://www.ourairports.com/airports/ZA- ... -info.html)

Also had 2 military heli's flying past us @ 500AGL on their way to Maputo was a sight to behold

Really lekka weather we're having lately (^^)

So who's in for tomorrow morning!?

Where's this "Renosterkop" place? You must remember us CPK's don't fly further than the horizon. We still believe the earth is flat. Must be on the other side of the earth. :lol: :lol:

Lekker to see your sorties...will keep a lookout for you guys (^^)
