The nostalgia Pics of the early years bring back some memories.
Can vividly remember Johann flying the Rallye 3B and the Eagle.
Those were the days.......
Kind regards,

Lovely site. Seeing that Johann survived those early primitive contraptions (one only with a 10 hp motor) he must be a good pilot!

Johann is one of those guys that changes your life when you train with him. I really miss the "manne van Saldanha".

Re: WCFTC flying school
I was unable to flyin but I was there anyway. Drove up from Cape Town. Fantastic new clubhouse. Johan is a true gentleman and has been a privilage to have learnt to fly with him both trikes and 3 axis. If a spoon had wings he could fly it! For people wanting to learn to fly or do a conversion I endorse his school
