Hi Airhog, yes we can change them to end April, begining May but we need two weeks. So the new dates would have to be 25th April 2015 until the 10th May 2015. If that suits most, then we change it?Air Hog wrote:Any chance of changing the dates to 25 April to 3rd of May.
Ok, Nico. Met jou vlieg en Botswana ondervinding sal dit vantasties wees as jy saam kom.nicow wrote:Ek het al daar gevlieg...baie lekker,met baie landingsplek op die panne(as dit droog is).Sal wil saamgaan.
In Mei behoort die panne droog te wees? I hope Alan Pepper is reading this thread. He has organised a few of these trips. Alan!!, bring that new SkyJeep of yours and join us.pietmeyer wrote:I can highly recommend the Botswana air show. We had a blast this year and already looking forward to the next one.
Hi Piet & Tumbleweed, we would realy like to include the Botswana Airshow in our flight plan but the problem is our trip is only two weeks long and is in the northern parts of Bostwana. Also, most of the aeries are quite slow, meaning that an additional 200 or 300 miles (one way) takes a couple of days to include. If next years show is again at Matsieng airfield, which is just north Gaborone, it means an additional round trip of 500 miles of flying. When we know where and when the show will take place, we can see if we can include it in the plan.Tumbleweed wrote:The Bostwana Airshow oganisers are planning to host their airshow early May next year. A good jol and might get you the NTCA permit waiver of R1 200.00.
After a lenthy discussion with Ninnie from Auto-Gyro, who organises these trips regularly for gyro's, I realised that we must make the trip as attractive as possible to all in the party. The flying will be the main focus but we want to include other events and outings, like a candle lit dinner in the bush, a boat cruise / supper on the Chobe river, game drives, a day trip to Vic Falls, bungee jumping???? etc. This will capture the interest of everyone in the group. It pushes up the cost, but well worth it. So, if you are in, start saving.
I will be at Elephant Sands and Chobe at the end of August and will discuss our plans with them.
