Cheetah Get together 31 January 2009?

[Stephan van Tonder]

I see the springs newsletter had this article in - Do the cheetah owners know of this idea - I think It's great and would most certianly try and bum a ride with somebody. Hopefully I'm not stepping on anybodies toes with putting it here but I think as much publicity as possible for this idea is great.

Vladimir Chechin put the first line for the cheetah onto the drawing board in July 2000, in August 2001 it made its maiden flight.
Now, in November 2008, he has just sold serial no. 101. Congratulations Vladimir! As a celebration thereof, a cheetah fly-in is
planned for the 31st of January 2009. The idea is to meet up over Petit and fly in formation to the Rainbow Aircraft factory at the
Springs Airfield for breakfast. You don’t have to come from as far as Remy & Patricia http://www.luftsafari.ch/, but please be there
and shake the hand of your planes father. More info to follow on the MISASA website:

If you were not there you missed out and I did not see any ML lads there.

[Stephan van Tonder]

huh?

[Stephan van Tonder]

SO? Any cheetah owners out there coming along or even know about this?.

[John Boucher]

Don't know a bloody thing about this..... and it is really just a wee bit far!

[Stephan van Tonder]

Kimberley can't be much more than about 4 hours flying time

[John Boucher]

If I decide to come up, then I'll leave the Cheetah at Rainbow for them to check the whole aeroplane ie. cables, hinges etc.

Will decide closer to the time!

Are there not additional details available yet?

[Stephan van Tonder]

John no. Still trying to find out exactly who is organising the thing and having no luck so far.

This get together screams of racism. My BosBefokker is a little upset about this

Just a reminder again guys. This is happening - times etc will be published still for the meeting in the morning. Basic plan is to form up at Petit and fly to springs for breakfast. As soon as have exact times I'll put it here.
John - fly in - leave your plane there for the fix up and You can sleep over at my house. Can deliver you at an airport or bus depot to get home on sunday....

Happy new year all!

The Cheetah get together is to take place on the 31st of January 2009.

We'll take off from Springs airfield, land @ Petit, and return to Springs for breakfast.

A couple of magazine journalists/photographers will be joining us, we do however need a 1 or 2 Cheetah owners to accompany the photographers as co-pilots for air to air photo's...anyone interested?
