Lee Adcock went solo at FAFK on Friday afternoon!

Well done Lee, now you are flying 'em under the water and in the air! Bet this is more exhilarating.
Lee is a deep-water ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) pilot.

Good instructors always speak well about all flying machines.
Bad instructors speak badly about machines they cannot fly.

Kobus Strauss passed his flight test yesterday!

Considering that he travelled from Keetmanshoop from time to time to do his licence in Cape Town, Kobus has done very well.
Kobus owns ZU-DRH. I know he will be an assett to the SA and Namibian Gyro community.

Welgedaan Kobus!

A perfect circuit in gusty conditions with a greaser of a landing! I am not sure who was more proud, Paul or myself!

Congratulations Paul, well done, now its just a couple of hours until you get your licence and the fun really begins!
