Thanks, Thomas. I learnt quite a lot. Although we were a small group it was great fun. See you at the next event!

Dit was nou vet pret. Lanklaas so lekker gevlieg, gespeel en gelag. :mrgreen:

Reëlings was goed getref, en dit was alles in 'n goeie gees. (^^)

Bietjie geirriteerd dat 'n demmin Cessna spannetjie die gyros leer om goedjies op die grond te spot en maklik gewen het. ## Die wind het dit baaaie interresant gemaak. Moeilik om akkuraat te vlieg, veral as mens 7 minute vir die beginpunt soek. :oops:

Om 'n pakkie van omtrent 7 A4 papiere in 'n open cockpit te juggle raak interresant :shock: , veral as dir helfte van die notas met take-off uitwaai :lol: , nê Thomas.

Thanx vir die hulp van Rob-hulle se kant af. 8)

Kan dit aanbeveel vir enige een. Dink die samoosa manne moet ook een reël, dan kan ons weer gaan saamspeel. :wink:

I must admit, with the prospect of sitting back seat and navigating, I wasn't looking forward to this, but what great fun we had. Thanks to Frank and Tinks for organizing this.

Ja nee, ek het omtrent gespook met daai pak papiere en my selfoon (om tyd te hou) in die "open cockpit".

Ek hoor ons doen dit volgende jaar in 'n "closed cockpit"!!! Dan kan ek ook so mooi staandertjie saamvat en voor die tyd die foto's uitknip en in volgorde inpak en elkeen merk soos ons vorder. O-ja, dan kan ek ook dalk die volle A4 kaart in sy geheel bekyk en nie 'n A4 wat 3 keer dubbel gevou is sodat die wind dit nie weg waai nie!!!

Ek grap net. Ek is mal oor die wind-in-die-gesig "open cockpit". Ons "samoosa" manne ken dit mos.

Dankie aan Gerrit wat my genooi het. Dit was 'n voorreg om te kon deelneem en om die ou navigasie "skills" weer bietjie op te skerp.

Dit was GROOT sports en ek mis dit vir niks. Dis nou as ek volgende jaar weer genooi word!!!
