It appears that availability of the video was affected by copyright issues with the song I used as a sound track. :oops:
I am in the process of replacing the song with a legal option (-) but my knowledge of IT causes this to be a challenge.

Awesome Stuff!!! (^^)

Obviously you are staying on the ZA side of the centreline of the river!! :lol:

What airstrip are you flying off??

Can we come and visit and do some flights from this strip?

I am flying from Musina air field. The strip on the video is located 28.5 miles, bearing 86.5 from Musina. It is a 45 to 50 minutes flight in an Aquilla if you stay South of the centreline of the Limpopo :roll:. Landing can be arranged . Popallin Ranch (http://www.popallin.co.za) is located 14 km East of this strip. They arrange transport to and from the strip and place a night guard at your aircraft. Their tented camp on the banks of the Nwanedzi river is quite popular.

You are most welcome to visit. I can arrange hangar space at Musina and access to many farm strips in the area.

Thank you to all who are enjoying the video.
