[Stephan van Tonder]

Ok so for the 'uninitiated' what does this involve...

[Dish]

Hells teeth I would love to do this!!! so so so close now.. exams and flight test left...

[Tracer]

Stephan,

In short, we want to all get together at Rhino, Friday afternoon or Staurday morning. From there we take scenic flights over the fields of Cosmos, for viewing pleasure. Sleep over at the field and return to home field on Sunday morning.

Yes, and between flying sessions we braai, drink and talk cr@p

[Stephan van Tonder]

OK can maybe join you guys for a flight or two - see if I get get Andy to let us go that way. Then I can always join for the talk crap and braai at any stage through the weekend.

It will be great if you could join!

I am really looking forward to it, I think Rhino is the ideal place for this as it is safe to stay there at night. We can have a nice camp fire with jackals in the distance and early morning flying sorties.

I will be on leave then, the plan is to fly to Loeries Fontein the next weekend and from there to Windhoek and Swakopmund, 6 weeks of flying and exploring, this will be a great way to start !

[JFK]

so then we are on for a friday arival after work and before dark as we have got a 1hr30min flight fom middelburg

See you all there.

Keep it safe up there.

[Tracer]

I will probably fly in on Staurday morning only, will have to see closer to the time.

Great !

Around what time do you plan to leave for Rhino on Friday ? Maybe I could meet you somewhere in the air for a few air to air photos since I was planning on flying Friday afternoon anyway.

Fly safe,
Rudi

This past weekend we went to wakkerstroom, you can see the cosmos just starting to form already in the colder Standerton area.
I hope this year it will be a good one with all the rain we had, we just have to wait for it to get a bit colder.
