Kitty Hawk: Gauteng Gyro-Day 4 December

[Pieter Smith]

Pieter was great to finally meet you and hopefully I have convinced you to let me stay until at least Xmas and with a bit of luck you will even let me venture up your way one day.
Cheers

Hi mate,
You definitely convinced me to stay forever! You can even migrate to SA, only because we all have one thing in common ( flying Gyro's.) Just promise me we will never talk RUGBY! Be warned: If you going to start flying this lovely country you will never want to return to Aus. You are welcome to venture up my way anytime, so that we farmers can Baptism you the real farm style way in our local pub called At se Gat. Relax our pub's dont stock FOSTERS!
Have a nice day mate! ( Oh before i forget.......... the word "MATE"............ dont use that when you come to visit me.......... tell you later)

Lekka internal joke - no pun intended.

A day that started off with really shitty weather - full IMC - turned out brilliant. Nice meeting Pieter, Eben, Swannie, Len and, Christine - with a really snappy trigger finger on her camera.

Had quite a bad prop strike in the air on downwind - still puzzled - therefore grounded myself with a Castle or two...or three. Thanx to Marius for overnight, or two or three for CFW.

Not the amount of gyros we wanted there, but the first time I've attended such a gathering where basically all the SA based gyros were represented. Magni M16, M22, M24, Ela 07,08, MT03, MT0S, Calidus, Xenon, Sycamore, RAF, Experimental.

Nice show.

And we might see an Arrow at the next event as well.
