I was a little dissapointed in watching the racing... what did make it though, was the displays from the 2 harvards, and the pitts specials... good morning all in all...
Would have loved to have seen some GTs there, I think they would have given the Cheetah a run for his money...
The event was quite well attended by fly in spectators, but no trikes to be seen...

I was there, as a passenger in a Savanna.
Those pilots were scared shitless as we climbed out from the Savanna, you should have seen the relief when we did'nt register.

I thought I saw you there Leon, but when I looked again, I couldn't find you to say hi...
You going to enter the GT next time? Martin would do well with his flat out sweet spot on his...

Oom Paul, ek het verwag dat dit soos die Red Bull air race sal gewees het, en was n bietjie teleurgesteld... van die grond lyk dit as of die ouens net vinnige circuits met tight turns doen... ek weet hoe mooilik wat hulle doen is, maar die eenigste ding wat die dag exciting gemaak het was die aerobatics wat die display manne gedoen het.. dit en die mooi airies wat daar was...
Miskien vat dit te veel om vir my te impress?
Wat vir my baie impressive was, was die qualitied van die kos daar... ek sal veer soen toe gaan vir die breakfast...
Cheers
Craig
