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

Julle manne in die Suide kan maar gaan slaap. Ons gaan uit die Noorde op julle toesak , erger as n swerm bye wat jy op ABSA stadium in Durban voor n rugby game kry.
We still have 3 days before the curtain is drawn and the final count is made. Between now and Friday 12h00 I put my money on at least 10 more gyros from up here. Pieter waars jy dan met jou RAFFIE?
Come guys !! Lets get those numbers in. I am eagerly awaiting your e-mails !! This is going to be a blast ! You will also be meeting other gyronaughts and making up groups for yearly gyro safaris . We made up the first group of 7 gyros back in 1999 and have since then flown all over the RSA, Namibia, Mozambique , Angola borders etc etc. Our group has become such great friends and the yearly get together and flying for a week to 10 days has become such a highlight of each year. You will also team up with like minded souls and then you will really start enjoying your gyro to the full . Laat waai !!! Confirm now to johan@noot.co.za
I will call a halt after the first 7 guys to respond but certainly at 10. First come first serve. Going... going...

Just wait i will get the other gyro on the field , minimum 30 from our side , I know that Eben Mocke is also contacting the RAF owners via mail and getting them involved (dankie EBEN ) , SO just wait , i will get them on the field , This would be something for the books .

CAn i already now ask the guys that we need to have an opportunity to have everybody together for a group photo , so please dont just dissapear . but the marketing and tv and the notes i am leaving to the proffesionals (hoe se Johan altyd , Moenie Weggaan , Watch this space )

Ek het met pieter n deal aan , dat hy na my toe vlieg met SAL en dan gee ek hom n RAF om te vlieg mee saam ons. Dit is darm bleddie ver 1000myl vir hom van daar bo af.
Good instructors always speak well about all flying machines.
Bad instructors speak badly about machines they cannot fly.

Hi FLYNOTE,
Eben het my vandag n lekke deal gemaak wat ek sterk oorweeg,
Plan A: ek vlieg met Airlink tot in Upington, Eben leen my n Gyro en ek vlieg saam hulle tot inni bos. Het mos daar geswot, weet mos daai is n lekke plek!!!!!! (^^)
Plan B, :idea: wil iemand nie die woensdag of donderdag van Kittyhawk af vlieg, by my oornag en dan vlieg ek en hy die volgende oggend terug Kityyhawk toe en ek vlieg saam n groep van Kittyhawk af tot inni bos met my eie Gyro? Ek sal jou petrol betaal asb? Ek vlieg nou eers 6 maande, ek vlieg elke dag( al is dit net n half uur) en is nog nie so lekke met die langtrips nie.

Petrus my vriend! Jy moet n lang trippie opbreek in 1.5 tot 2.0 uur bene dan is dit 'n paar kort trippies wat jy aanmekaar las en wat uiteindelik n lang trippie is!
We also have the luxury of Len playing mother goose to guide us through / over the mountains as we cross the 'druiwe gordyn' into the Boland.
I will be monitoring the long range weather forecasts to see what we can expect but as far as the actual flying is concerned...instead of flying a few hours in circles in your garden patch you head out in one direction and keep going from fuel stop to fuel stop and each fuel stop is in a different location!
Got one more gyro aboard and waiting for the stragglers. Southern comforters ... 30 gyros? ($$) ($$) ($$)
We will be putting down with 35 ! Moenie worry nie...watch net ! ##

Pieter jy het nou nie meer n keuse nie , Jy moet kom, hoe is nou n ander saak , Maaral wat ek jou kan se is dat ek totaal 2.1ure Gyro instruksie toe ek en Len Klopper van Pta tot in FASH gevlieg het , Dit was een van my beste ervarings gewees , en leer jou ook verskillende weerstoestande en "runways " .

Soos Johan se elke "Leg" is soos n dag wat jy op julle plaas vlieg en voor jy jou kry is jy by hier .

Ek hoop om jou te sien en wil weereens vir Eben en RAF baie dankie se dat hulle hierdie naweek so goed ondersteun .

Greetings to all AND I Hope we get 70 Gyro's on the airfield .

Julle maak my moeg. Ek en familie reeds ingeboek by Weskus en One Time oor daardie tydperk en sal moet skei voor die 18de as ek wil saamgaan! Die skei is niks maar sy is n pofadder met lipstick aan en dalk oorleef ek dit nie. Sal maar moet wag vir volgende trip.
