Remember to collect your roller blades as you taxi past the clubhouse.

Ek aanvaar jy het die koordinate van Kitty Hawk en dat jy vanaf die noorde sal kom.

Bly oos van Wonderboom CTR en vlieg deur Pretoria GF2 (124,4) tot by Cullinan.

Hier gaan jy in Johannesburg Special Rules East area in (125,4) en jy kan maar begin klim na 6000ft want jy moet die Magaliesberg oor.

Wanneer jy die N4 kruis skakel oor na Kitty Hawk 120,65 en verklaar jou aankoms.(unmanned procedures)

Join overhead at 6200, decend dead side (dws WES en join Righthand vir 01 - of Lefthand vir 19)

Wanneer veilig op die grond skakel oor na 121,65 en praat met Groundcontrol.(behort ek te wees)

Sien jou Saterdag!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I gather that those not speaking Afrikaans have the right to join as they wish anywhere and anytime

Sorry Vertical Tango we just assumed that if you can build your own Xenon from a Polish manual you can understand Afrikaans joining procedures. We just thought you have a better chance of understanding Afrikaans than Pieter Smith understanding English . Pieter, ek het die hanger spesiaal vir jou skoongemaak.
Jean-Pierre, I assume you are flying via the Pinedene corridor. Once out of WAFB control (124.1) just make a call on Special Rules East (125.4) and then almost immediately to Kitty Hawk (120.65). Join & call overhead @ 6200 feet and descent on deadside (west of the airfield) and join left downwind for 19 or right downwind for 01. Circuit altitude between 5200 and 5500 feet. Once on the ground change to ground control (121.65) and a grumpy voice will give you taxi and parking instructions.

Thanks MAK. You probably meant deadside = East of Airfield ?

[Vertical Tango]

By the way, my manual was in french for what info was worth !

[mak]

Vertical Tango, no deadside definately west of the airfield, circuits are flow to the east.

Will there be a shuttle or a bus, because our trikers always have to park so far off the map.

Shouldn't be a problem this weekend. We rack, pack n stack the gyros like a tin of Lucky Star sardines

Hi Mak,
Ja lag maar, my engelse juffrou op skool het altyd gese, die plaas kinders van Dendron (65km van Pietersburg) kry altyd 45% vir Engels, die Vivo kinders (100 km van Ptb) kry 40%, en sy het nog nooit n Alldays kind (150km van Ptb) gekry wat engels deurkom nie, so ek hoef nie sleg te voel nie. Maar ek is daar deur ge .

hanger spesiaal vir jou skoongemaak.

Baie, baie dankie, maar ek glo jou nie, mense kan mos sien toe ek julle ontmoet, julle goed is altyd skoon en netjies. Jul voorkoms het jul weggegee, maar baie dankie in elk geval.

[Condor]

Looking at the weather it promises to be a splendid day at Kitty Hawk.

Looking forward to see you all.

[Kosie]

Any joining instructions and frequencies for us poor blokes who are not (yet) airborne? I suppose we join from the east of the field at 0ft AGL and taxi to parking behind the clubhouse? I trust arrangements have been made to clear away drool around the parked airies in order to comply with Health and Safety regulations.

I am certainly looking forward to Saturday.

Hi there

No talk, comments, photos, etc. regarding fly in?

[John Boucher]

Didn't you hear? They had Trikenut there taking photos and that tends to take a while before they get posted

[Eggbeater]

Hi All

Here are a few flight line photographs. If the resizing tool works that is.

It was a really nice day, thanks guys and girls!

I really enjoyed meeting some new people, putting faces to some of the names on here and generally 'chewing the fat' with fellow gyronauts.

After some of us grounded ourselves and sat around socialising, one of our well known members of this forum came and started giving me the gears about Sycamores etc... The next minute, his chair collapses! bwahahaha... couldnt resist the kodak moment! Talk about "blinde sambok!"

Spilled some of his drink but never let go the shades!

It transpires that he is a Sycamore owner himself (ZU-CFW) and was simply having me on. This did not detract from my pleasure at seeing him flat-out on the ground at the time!

Swannie, Leon, Darren, Marius, Juanita, Gerrit, Llewellyn, Butch, Anthony, Eric, Greg, Glen, Johan, Frans... too many to mention individually actually... Thanks for making it a special day for Christine and I. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and are safely home in Hout Bay again.

Oh, and the SAGPA meeting went off very well too... you'll be hearing more about that soon.
