MISASA AND NATIONAL YOUTH DEVELOPMENT TRUST SECOND ANNUAL MICROLIGHT DAY.
The second annual microlight day held in conjunction with MISASA and the National Youth Development Trust is planned for
Saturday, 14th June 2008, at Panorama airfield.
This follows on the successful microlight day held at Microland last year, where 62 underprivileged schoolchildren had their first flights in a microlight.
Details of last year's event are to be seen on the NYDT website http://www.nydt.org/home.asp?pid=922
The NYDT has estimated there will be 75 children who will be in line for their first flights this year. These children are from schools in Mamelodi, and have been earmarked for the Aerospace Rangers program, involving MISASA, ATNS, BOEING and NYDT. Their experience of flight in a microlight will make their theoretical activities a reality, and enhance their understanding of further aeronautical activities, which form part of the NYDT aeronaut program.
An appeal is made to pilots to assist by taking each child for a short flight. . Fly in and put smiles on faces. Indemnities will be in place. The kids will be arriving by taxi at 7am, and the flying will commence shortly thereafter.
Contact Martin Woldt on 083 461 2660 or martin@epe.co.za for further details and to confirm if you are able to assist with flying the kids.
Come and join your fellow pilots for a coffee and boerie roll, and do your bit to introduce the youth to flight !
Free Breakfast for participating pilots.
We are also working on having a fuel sponsorship for participating pilots. TBA
