Hire & fly

Hi John
Thanks for the reply. We will be going to Umhlanga from the 24th November for a week. I would love to go for a flight some time in that week. I dont mind traveling to a field I think it will be cool to make a flight outside of the comfort zone of special rules.
Would it be an issue to hire a plane due to my low hours?
My brother used to train at light flight, it was a few years back. I think it is close to maritzburg?
Thanks

Guys,
Now listen "Gud"
If you "wanna" pay
BEEG $$$$$$$ then go to Ballito Airfield by all means.
If you "wanna" jol - then come to Light Flight.
If you want to fly yourself, take a quick check out, load the missus and off you go.
By the way, this “Honest Broker†is selling "nix" – just offering free flips to visitors or a wing to fly on if you don't want to get lost.
The coast is not all it's cracked up to be -
plenty wind and concentrated Beachcraft Barons visiting with no local knowledge, flying off frequency and doing 240+ knots during the Christmas period - enjoy if Kamakazi is for you

Now, now, John........How can you tell the poor fella' that the coast is not what it's all about..........and then post a picture like this.........
Shame on you
By the way, you Cato fellows also need to keep your lil ol' eyes wide open for the blik aeries hauling in and out of Oribi. I've had 1 or 2 wide awake calls while flying in the area.......

Hi Dave,
We know.
Brad and I saw the top of a 737’s wing. The 737 had obviously been cleared for a visual approach at DIA.
We were cruising at 4 500 feet over the Eston & Tala Valley Game Reserve area. 737 passed about two miles to the west of us.
I rarely go above 1 000 foot agl anymore.
