Eben, that must have been a fun trip! Thanks for sharing. We'll have to twist Schalk's arm for a Harnas fly in!

Awesome trip! I am quite envious.
I love the reception crowd. Unbelievable how much interest these awesome machines generate.
I think perhaps people feel this kind of flying is within their reach and can possibly make their dream of flying a reality.
Viva!

Certainly does for a lot of us fortunate ones.

Mooi so!
