Microlighters

Last Sunday afternoon I took to the air in my Aero Trike in the most perfect flying weather that I experienced for a very long time.
The air was as smooth as silk with virtually NO turbulence what so ever. The sky was crystal clear and the scenery was out of this world. On the back ground was the snow covered mountains of the Western Cape and beneath me the green wheat fields of the Swartland just north of Malmesbury.

The ether was alive with coms. coming from the different pilots flying in the same perfect weather and enjoying the same scenery as I was. Flying round and round in big, lazy circles I suddenly realized, as so many times before, that God has chosen me, along with all the other flying enthusiast, to experience a small but very precious part of His wonderful creation from a slightly different angle.
What an exiting thought!!
And then it struck me further that I was enjoying this privilege while there were people down there, struggling, just to survive!
With these few words I want to bring praise and thanks to Him and I pray that we will never take this privilege as granted and that all of us will take Him along as our passenger each and every time we take to the skies

I must truly agree with you. We are truly blessed by what we are able to do. And all praise to him. Amen

I must agree with you.
Please share it with photos next time-here up north we only hear of snow on mountains at far away places...

I agree wholeheartedly with Ou Man, we are truly blessed.
My softness and I took to the same skies on Sunday and share your exhilliration.
She took some pictures that I will post here for Nicow's benefit (posted some others in Gyro Talk)

Fly safe and lets stay thankfull.

Very nice indeed!!

Well said and I could not agree more.
Every time I take off I thank the Lord for the privelige of being able to do what we do, and the splendor of what we see.

Giving a thought for those less fortunate, bikers round the country have a toy run near christmas, I'm sure there would be an institution that would welcome a similar event from the microlighting community. Any thoughts or ideas ???

Fly safe in his care.

Hey Rusty, I like the idea big time!!! To find a needy community will be easy. (Red cross Childrens Hospital)The PR would be stunning for our sport/passion. We could find an event sponsor Vodacom, Mtn, there are lots, TV coverage, radio, the whole bang shoot. Maybe a flyover Wv and 'Drop' a Teddy. Prize for closest to the mark etc. Better stop now my mind is going 1000k an hour.

Hhhmmm

Very nice-Thank you!!!
We use to do a toy flight to one of the game farms near Warmbad in November,but the owner of the farm was killed not so long ago.This year somebody must arrange for us to fly to Nylstroom,and take toys there.The Abram Kriel orphanage is there.

Grumpy my man, Great ideas. Lets build on the theme and make it happen. Ideal topic at the next FAWF get together

Regards,

Rusty.

Ou man, ek stem saam! Wat n voorreg en SOVEEL om voor dankbaar te wees. Ons is werklik geseend.
Ons was ook in die lug, maar ons wil nou weet. Ons het al HOEVEEL keer vir JOU kom kuier. Wanneer sien ons jou op wintervogel vir n koffie?
