We would like to get to know the area. If there will be a “follow the leader” aerial tour or even a bus tour I am interested. vhpy

With pre-arrangement, AVGAS will be made available, plenty MOGAS too.

The "Follow me" tours are definitely on. Usual spot-landings etc too.
Note this is a dedicated fly-in with no non-aviation related activities (bike/horse races etc) like in the past .

Aviation specific questions gladly answered - call me - I'm one of the committee members for this do.

Rudi - hope that means RV 7 is coming?
Keen to see her in the metal.

Trying to get a stack of Jabbi guys in too.

Vryheid gliding club down the road is keen to bring 2 gliders and 2 winches for those who want to try soaring - a must try - at least once!

Definately only two nights- Leave Friday afternoon and Sat, depart Sunday after breakfast.

Still undecided whether to go direct to Battlefields on the Friday, or join with a group to Barberton for overnight and join up to Battlefields, maybe SAt afternoon.

Last year's Friday evening was a serious jol though. (^^)
