Battlefields fly-in - 7th to 9th May 2010

[RV4ker (RIP)]

Toying with idea of coming in the animal. Albat will not be ready and RV is just too dam fast and hard work to fly with you buggers and no like da MOGAS.

Still waiting for BFieilds to come back to me regarding accommodation?

Is there anything there for mommy to do other than watch me have a ball with the Drie Hoek... K... K... Crowd.... , else I rough it and maybe take junior along to crit my landings as he has started doing with some glee every time I bounce, even marginally.... We done the battlefields by car and only so much "battlefielding 1 can take in a month "

When the Rietties buggers leaving. Maybe I try keep up with you buggers? 100mph down a mineshaft is about what she can do if I lucky and I stop eating now......

Guys, for Mrs and kids, take note of the Gamedrive option and the Vulture "restaurant" - apparently an incredible experience.
There's a programme on Avcom and pics under same topic there - link won't copy for some reason!!

I'll be there (luckily without Vernon Koekemoer), I volunteered to be the MISASA scribe and Simon will also take photo's for the mag. Skin has indicated that he's attending, so Petit will have representation at last!! I look forward to some good yarns wih the Rietie boys!!

[Nkwazi]

I'm driving because: 1 - My plane she's broken. 2 - it's mothers day and the madam can become annoyed if not home on time!!

Planning a scenic flight down from jhb via standerton , volksrust, wakkerstroom...and other nice places
Does anyone know if the airfields in these places are still operable

Standerton airfield is closed, you could land at Vlakfontein which is +- 5nm north of Standerton 26 52 12S 029 13 27E DD.MM.SS , condition: can land a Boeing on the runway.
Volksrust is fine - 27 22 38S 029 51 50E 5598ft 124.80 10/28
Wakkerstroom the runway was not that good when visited last year - not sure if it is maintained regularly. 27 19 59S 030 08 59E 5817ft 124.80 04/22
