Superb pics Glen vhpy

What a stunning day for flying it was! As Jean mentioned, we also scooted around the peninsula but I only managed a couple of pics on my cellphone :?

Oh how Blase' .. scooted around the peninsula... :shock: Spoilt brat! :lol:

WOW, awesome photo's. Perhaps its one of those "you had to be there" things but I think those photos are stunning. I consider myself truly blessed to be able to fly here. ($$)

It seems all Cape Town aviators are doing the same thing over the weekends... vhpy

This was taken a few weekends back. SE was pushing us around a bit and due to the sunrise I was having lens flare all the way up the Atliantic Seaboard - not complaining though!! :wink:

The knack [to flying] lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.

Maybe not as pretty as Table Mountain or Cape Point but it gives an "elevated viewpoint" of the Swartland :lol:

See the white dot? One of the BIG BLIKS coming in for Cape Town International. Quite a eerie site :shock: He looked much closer than on the image!

I don't know what this "Irritate the Gautengers" ## ## :twisted: :twisted: conspiracy is all about but it is going to cost you guys a lot of money when we get down there again. Very nice pics everyone, but I am sure it is all old photos :wink: :wink: . Len, we will definately take you up on that offer for the peninsula, Hermanus, Wes Coast or just Western Cape (for short) tour when we are down there again.

Can the moderators please block all pics of the Cape/taken by the Capies as I am turning a terrible shade of green. Aaklige kleur, maar blerrie mooi kiekies. O ja, ek neem kiekies, julle neem fotos...
