Heard the Lone Ranger contacting KMI tower on the radio - when the ATC asked me if I had copied the other microlight traffic I replied that I had not understood as the pilot had obviously not been speaking English. She asked ZU-RED if he copied, and the Lone Ranger replied that "Eye haff ah probleeem ass my vinger ees steeking op"....I wonder what the friendly ATC made of that exchange

Later, on asking Lone Ranger about the "Prrhoblem wiss my middle finger", he laughed wickedly and said, "Iss jus' zat I haff arrse-rrhitis..."

Gruzzi, Lone Ranger, wir machen nur Spass, some of us are quite "fondue" von deiner schweizerischer Akzent, arse-ritic Mittelfinger oder nicht

Two trikes landed at FAWI (Witbank) for fuel on Friday morning on the way to Numbi. They got held up horribly and missed the rest of their flock. Was that anyone on this forum? I hope their flight was not too bumpy and they made it OK.
Unfortunately can't remember their registration had too much 2M over the weekend. We were refuelling our two heavy Cessnas for Mozambique.

Hi All

Thanks for the detailed news Demon but I cannot see the photos??? I was sitting along the Blyde Canyon on Thursday morning doing a raptor survey when some oke came tootling along in a little red aerie. Looked like a Kitfox and sounded like a 4 stroke Rotax up front. The plane had white stripes radiating from the front top center ( he was below me!). Big balls to fly under the mist down the canyon. Also sitting on top of the mountain on Friday afternoon I saw 8 trikes come over heading towards Hoedspruit area. Really longing for my trike sitting in the hanger back home.

Hey Smiley
Had serious withdrawal symptoms watching you guys go past. The last guy was fairly low flying along the Ohrigstad/ Hoedspruit road on the Ohrigstad side of the tunnel. Did you land at Hoedspruit?
Can see the photos now Just had to give them time to load. Anybody know who the red aerie was?

Hi Demon
Nope definitely not a Bantam, seems like the guy knows the area the way he flew down the gorge in misty conditions heading towards Hoedspruit. Just wondered if I could rope him in to fly surveys for us when in the area again if he is local. The plane looked like a Kitfox. High wing two seater

We went on to God's Window, from there to Graskop and finally landed in Hazyview.

The red trike is either Robert Gassman or Ferdie
