Hi Glen

Roelf and his group will leave Spring around 7:00. He will give me a call prior to take-off.

We can do the same and we will all meet at Bronkhorstspruit.

Ldel will join at Rhino.

See you tomorrow.

8 Gyro's, 7 pilots? Names would be nice so we know who's who.

Only one I can recognise is Glenn.

Gerrit (known as Condor is on the top left, flies a Magni M22 from Kittyhawk), Leon on the bottom left from Rhino Park flies a Sycamore, Roelf Palm sitting on the floor in the middle (instructor at Kittyhawk), yours truly on the bottom right (with my blue MT-03 on the right). Not 100% sure of the other gents' names.

Hi Blaine

I'm terrible with names :oops: - but now I won't forget. Got a name, a forum ID, a face and one of the most beautiful gyros I have seen in real life - together.

You need to post a pic of your pride and joy. I forgot to take one at Groblersdal. ##
