Hey.......... Wintervogel is still here....
I flew down Franschoek Valley saturday morning and landed Moreson Wine Farm runway with Jaco, Dave Lehr, Ronnie and Paul. (with permission) Nice headwind of about 10knots and going back tailwind of about 20k. great fun.
Stunning grass runway.
Thanks Jaco (koevoet) for pics.

Re: Wintervogel !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Only curiosity...how long is the runway? It looks like between 500 and 600 meters, am I wrong?

Re: Wintervogel !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a nice looking field! Looks like a golfcourse with that lovely grass. Hmmm. makes me "lus" to go and land on some of those par 5's that I sometimes over-fly! (We all know that these are the BEST runways..)
Re: Wintervogel !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wish I was with you on this one....only ever went in the valley once with a rude photographer....
Keep it up and in the air!!
