Man, we had a lekker weekend. The weather was near perfect in Komati. Lots of prawns and braaing. We consumed all of 40kg of prawn and lots of beers. Harvards did 42 flights and we had just over 30 aeroplanes that flew in. We had a lot of cancelations due to weather so we will be bigger and better next year. Will post some pics when I have time to make them smaller.

Like they say .....Rather late than never.
Stevan thanks for you and your team that organised a great weekend. For me personally the Harvards was just awsome and the Team of the Harvard Club that came down...Thanks Guys & Girl .....what can I say...Great Fun.

Just a few pics that I got off the flying....luckily the cameras were NOT that active in the evenings after the flying.
