I found that 99% of the time, the things we spend 90% of our time worrying about never happens and for the other 10%, that there is a way around it.

Firstly, they'll have to reclaim the airstrips annexed by the squatters.
Then they must try convince some of the farmers I've flown to that their multi-purpose fire breaker / athletics strip / sheep recreation area is actually an airstrip.
Just bundle them in the same as the smoke law pile.

He threatened the same with 4x4ing. Saying that he will close down all private 4x4 tracks on farms as they're ruining the environment. The debate isn't whether 4x4's ruin the environ it's what I do with my property is my bloody business!
In 4x4ing many people make it bad for others, MOST of the time there's no need for wheelspinning and high revs - those are generally the macho drunks. Another, 4x4ing on beaches in SA is actually illegal...
Airplanes on the otherhand can only do airspinning? Plus it's one flippin strip of dirt how much damage is that? Perhaps we can help birds migrate and then he will see planes can HELP nature, not to mention poaching etc.
I'm a bunny hugger and don't like hunting, but seeing animals from the sky is awesome and just demands respect, not extreme measures that suit no one - They're still animals not flippin cranky old noise sensitive people.
Kortbroek and his team must be seriously inbred oh wait that's an insult to incestuous people.

Well you can only sum up Marthinus van Schalkwyk aka Kortbroek in one word, Charlie Uniform November Tango. Or to the point the biggest "DOOS" to ever enter politics in South African history. He is what any sane decent living South African would call an @sswipe !!
Go to the Vaal and see what Quads and Jetskis are doing to the environment and not only from a noise pollution point of view.
Your's in Flying

Please send him, with the greatest pf pleasure to my softness's father. He has made a temp. strip for me on the farm, and I'm sure he'll be more than happy to tell Martinus where he can stick his book of shite.
