I was going to meet up with the Microland contingent en route for Henley. They are getting airborne at 0630, routing via Heidelberg, south of Suikerbosrand and then for Henley.Ldel wrote: Glenn - what time you wanna leave Kitty ?
Was planning to meet catch up with them about half way. Their flying time is about 1H05, and from Kittyhawk, we should be around 45 minutes. If we had to get a/b just after 0630, we should meet up just after Springs.
Ldel, your reg?

Hi ZFI, welcome to the forum. As you know, we will be flying from Microland 10+ trikes, of which 3 will be the flagships of microlight the GT450. We intend to meet up with Rudi near Heidelberg. A pic or two will be great, we need a new poster size for our lapaFZI wrote:Spoke to Glenn earlier.. We want to leave around half past 6..

Hi Guys,
Thanks again to everyone getting involved in this. I've consulted wtih the committee and we'll be able to cater for the guys who confirmed up to now. I'll unfortuanately have to put a cap on this now. The response on the invite was exellent and more than we expected, we thought we'd be lucky to get 5 planes and now we have 30+. We'll definately do something like this again soon for the guys who missed out on this round.
Nkwasi, pls confirm number of pax and pilots, you guys took up the last spots and we're looking forward to host you! Dre'man, good to hear from you, program will be concluded with the Snake Team & Skydivers at about 4:15pm, bring your son, he'll enjoy it. Cheers
Mike
P.S. KykNet confirmed that they are covering the event, exciting stuff!!!

Thanx Skinner.
Looks like with the expected wind we'll be heading for the telephone lines on take-off
, but the 400m graded will be fine.
Don't want my first appearance on TV to be hanging from telephone lines.
FZI - cool to have you on the forum. Ons mik en druk ouens se fotos looks primitive in the digital age. Luckily Rudix add some value now and then.
Will try and meet up with Glenn and you over Kitty Hawk, but you will only have one chance to take a pic. That MT-03 is like a rocket ship.
The Sycamore will go low and slow with the trikes.
Glenn, it's CFW.
