Hi Guys
I hope I can find some help here. I have not recieved any reply on AVCOM as yet but lets see its still early days
Im looking for someone to fly +- 1 ton of newspaper from JHB to DBN twice a week, Sunday night and Wednessday night. Catch is this, it will be ready at 00:00

in the morning and needs to be in DBN ready to pick up at 02:00. I realize I will most probly have to charter a plane but still I need a price.
Cheers

What I was thinking is to put a PT6 on the front of the koala, cut the wings shorter buy half and do a test this saturday. Ill take Tailspin as a safety pilot (Duck is plain bad luck

) Ill pop over to Morph to veruify the integrity of the engine mount and front wheel, oom Boet to do a respray(at the speed Im planning to travel I recon it will be in dire need of a respray by the time I get loeries) and then back to Bara for some circuits. I will see the DBN when I do my first route. All I need now is a co-pilot, any takers

If all is well Ill even take Duckkie for a flip

only if he asks very very nice.
Cheers Sanna

Hi Guys
Not yet but with a bit of luck we will soon. We are doing a quote for a new daily newspaper, but that is all I can say otherwise I would have to kill you all, and I just dont have the time right now

I could always just ask the Duck - his quacking will drive anyone to hirikari, harikari orwhatever the guys call it when they gooi a sword through their own bowels
Thanx for the interest
Sanna

Be a lot simpler to find a printer with some capacity in Durban, put the newspaper electronically on a server, and print it by the sea

That is called efficiency, but you take away some chaps reason of flying......

Jimbo, you are quite right but what if the only printer in that area is also bidding for the contract

we have capasity for the other nights just not Sunday and Wednesday, like John says we need to create jobs as well......
