I need some names for my story of okes that came from far . Let me know who flew in, with what and from where. And who stayed at Rhino for the week-end. Even those who missed the good fields like Skinner.
or email me with your experience and pics of the week-end.

Here's some info of the Circus crowd (Cobra Invasion) that flew in on Saturday

Porra (Jose) in a 503 Windlass, ZS-WRJ
KBP Cobra (Ludwig Bodemer) in a 582 Cobra, ZU-KBP
Skinner (Mike Skinner) & Tobie Esterhuizen in a 912 Cobra, ZU-DGW
Lesser Spotted Owl (Andrew Wood) in a 582 Cobra, ZU-CRC
Boertjiie (Dewalt Nienhaber) in a 582 Cobra, ZU-CYW

Another Cobra from Panorama joined us, not sure of the reg & pilot name, I'm real bad with names
Sure Porra can help.

I got the pics that Tobie took, we did manage to find one nice field

Not too bad, asi read between 50 and 55 mph and ground speed of about 43 mph at times on the way there. Took us the best part of 1h45 or so.on the way back was around 50min . Circus-Panarama. Panarama- ergo slymes - springs and straight to Rhino.
BTW the other pi;ot was Warren in ZU-COO.
