So Arnulf, was it worth the trip? Closer to your house? Who'd you fly with another forum member?

PS Feeling bad, I pumped your tires yersterday, put your prop and fuel back and tighened the instrument pod.

Yes indeed, it appears to be the holy grail of microlight airfields.
What is most impressive is the construction of the hangars. Man, are those sturdy hangars!!!!!!. Sure no skimping on I beams there.
I will try to fly in on a Saturday soon.
Nearly missed the place, was looking for a ground strip with one hangar, as shown on Google Earth. Will sms those okes to update their pics.

The trip was definately worth it. Took my dear wife along. Her first "fly-away". This is all so very exiting.
Unfortunately A. P. is the wrong part of town for me. So in future will only be visiting.
The other guy is a hangar mate from Bapsfontein. Not a forum member.

Regards,
Arnulf

p. s. DieselFan, thanks fixing my plane. I see you also repaired the slow puncture on the nosewheel, and dressed the prop. :lol: :lol: :lol:

It certainly does look like an excellent field.

Arnulf, thanks for the photos!

Big D, will there be somebody there on Saturday morning? I am thinking of driving there to check it out myself.

By the way is that hangar still available and what is the hagarage fee per month?

Can't wait for the weekend so I can go fly again!

Sadly I have no groupies and infact no wings at the moment but will be driving to Sun City for the weekend Golf. If I get away early enough I may pop by to have a look/visit. If any poor soul is not in the air yet will say Hi.
