66 Gyros in the picture, but 72 Gyros @ Gariep today. Dit was uit en uit die moeite werd. Baie dankie aan almal wat betrokke was by die reelings. Dit was lekke om weer n klomp nuwe mense te ontmoed, sien jul in 3 weke by die Alldays flyinn. Ons beplan om more oggend 6:30 te vertrek en die roete lyk so: Gariep, New Tempe, Kroonstad, Heidelberg, Witbank, Potgietersrus, Alldays. Hoop almal kom veilig tuis. Vlieg veilig, ons maak weer so!

And, thanks to Grumpy for the special Gyro song he wrote for us. Maybe he can post the lyrics so that everyone can appreciate his way with words. :-)

Dankie julle, dit was Gr8. Ek is veilig terug op Alldays, ek sal later bietjie meer vertel oor my trip, is nou gatvol gevlieg. +/- 2450km en +/- 16 ure in n Gyro in 5 dae is nie grappies nie maar was n belewenis. EK het ondervinding opgedoen wat geld nie kan koop. ALLES WAS LEKKER, MAAR DIE LEKKERSTE VAN ALLES WAS OM MY 4 MAANDE OU SEUNTJIE EN MY VROU WEER TE SIEN.
