Cape gyro instructors to train Ethiopian air force pilots

[John Boucher]

Hi all...

This amazing trip to Ethiopia was initiated out of the UK where Len was approached to do the training on these awesome Gyros. Needing an additional instructor for training & AP technical expertise , Len approached Louis van Wyk from Aerosport @ Phisantekraal for this task. All this excitement put paid to my 1st cross-country with Len to Overberg due to time constraints, a famous piss up at his house was also thus cancelled. Anyway, the variable weather conditions of the Overberg weekend also prevented any chance of us flying.

I grasped the opportunity and approached Len to write a story of the experience up North which is to be published in the Christmas edition of Microflight Africa. This will thus be to the benefit for all in a shiny mag! The article to be published has been approved by the Ethiopian authorities and trust you shall all be patient till it hits your post box.

Let me wet your appetite.... "No Problem...." is one excellent read! Well done Lennie!

How/where do I get hold of the mag?

[John Boucher]

THI....

There is a possibility that due to printing deadlines it may not be in the Christmas edition. However, Alan Mac will do what he can to get it in. If this does not materialise, we'll be posting it on as an e-book on the MISASA website for all to read in it's un-adulterated form as a Christmas gift from Lennie!

For those who do not know, Microflight Africa is the magazine given out on behalf of MISASA to its members!
