Weather looks a bit crap flying from GP

Remember it is summer.
Sunshine in the mornings, a thunderstorm in the afternoon and the next day probably the same.
That is why the weather forcast will predict "rain".
We will see tomorrow and get the feel Saturday morning before we get airborne..
Call me anytime from 5 am Sat morning . zero 8 two 5596 11 five.

[Bugwar]

Had a long look at the weather again. Saturday looks very nice but the forecast for Sunday is 100% low cloud cover in the morning. Unfortunately I have to be back on Sunday so I am not going to take a chance

Will take one last look at the weather Saturday Morning just in case ...

Goose, mooi so.
Dit help nie ons begin twee dae voor die tyd die weer senuagtig dophou en almal negatief instel nie.
Ek het oor die laaste twee dae die weer dopgehou en ten spyte van die vreeslike weer wat hierbo voorspel is was daar gister en vandag n ruim venster oop om te vlieg...Gisteroggend van ligdag af tot so drie uur toe en vandag dieselfde..Toe dit wel vandag 3.30 so bietjie reen was dit sag en windstil. n uur daarna was dit oor en 5 uur vanmiddag het ek n sagte uur van vlieg gehad.
Die beste is om te wag tot Saterdag oggend en dan jou eie waarneming te maak.. Skakel my as jy onseker is en so sal n ou dalk nie onnodig by die huis bly terwyl n lekker dag van vlieg verlore gaan nie.. Vir Sondag glo ek geld dieselfde..So manne as Asterix en Bugwar nie opdaag nie ek sal n reserwe ribbetjie of twee in voorraad he..
Kom eers Grobbies toe en daarna as daar manne is wie wil oorslaap kom ons Elands Q en ML toe.
Die manne van Springs kom beslis en so ook die ouens van Potgietersrus..

sien julle more.

[nicow]

Ons beplan om so teen 06h30 oor jou plek te vlieg oppad Grobbies toe.

[Bugwar]

Niemand stel enigiemand negatief in nie. Almal is experienced pilots en sal vir hulle self besluit.

Dankie aan almal by Groblerdal se vliegclub vir die ontbyt
