[Robbie Shaw]

Verstaan jy darem nou Oom Paul?

Ek weet nou net genoeg om te weet dat ek al vele kere geslip het.!
Hoe meer n ou te wete kom hoe meer besef jy jou onkunde.
Baie dankie vir die moeite wat jy doen om hierdie lesings te reel.

Oom Paul,

There are two things outstanding from your side.....
1) You have reached 1000 posts and need something special from you so we can all part take in your contribution to this for forum
2) How many hours do you have in your log book..... We need proof please

We all wait your positive response

Thanks a lot Alan and Alex, this was my first but not last session that I attended and have learned a lot.

Many thanks Alan and Alex!

This was BRILLIANT! I learnt SO much! Just really sorry that I only thought of taking a photo-sequence of the 'strip-show' once it was half way through!

Good to meet some of the Microland and other 'avatars' at last!

Oh,.... you will however have to participate in the k@@lg@t part we have every Saturday evening.

Jy sal maak dat hy in die hanger slaap

Nico, jy was reg. Hy het sommer nie meer gekom nie .....Ek is baia jammer, James.....dit was net n' grap.....jy hoef nie deel te neem nie.

Thanks to Alex as well for a very well presented and very informative stripshow.

So let me get a couple of things straight here..

1. Thank goodness I did not have to see Mulder PM naked;
2. I was initially booked this weekend to go and celebrate with Tribie on the arrival of the youngest trike pilot in our midst;
3. A golf day - not organised by me - but requiring input from our division at Limpopo regional then came up, so I cancelled;
4 THEN I convinced my Bee colleague to intend in my stead - and he said A-okay - phoned Tribie and asked to be excused from the shower because of the fly-inn;
5. THEN my Bee colleague phones on Friday with a loooooong kak storie about family business;
6. THEN I decide that I need my job to keep on buying patril at R 334 (on the dot) per 25 l can of 93 unleaded - and so miss seeing Oom Polla getting confused...

Luckily my Sunday afternoon was spent @ Pietersburg Civils. Had to wait for a chartered JET and a Robbie 44 to get airborne, but after that, I shared my circuits with only a Tecnam.. On my last circuit, contended with two military Pumas of to the northern threshold of the airport - was nice to hear the ATC telling the Pumas to keep a look out for the microlight in the circuit...

Quite an interesting airport, PBurg Civils...

( And to those who remember me from my "East is East and West is West" days - you will not believe the proficiency I have gained, talking to an ATC EVERY time I do a circuit! Ekke praat nou MOOI op die Radio met die Man innie toring!

A big thanks to Alex Rudd for giving us his time and expertise yesterday. A very thorough "stripshow" indeed.

I thank all who attended and I hope you all left with a belly full of food and a better understanding of the 582 engine. I'm especially appreciative of the effort made by the Potties Patrollie who always join us despite the long drive.

I look forward some more episodes in 2014.

To Dionne Mulder.... wow!
You are a star! I could not do this without you!

Thanks to Bundy,Alex and Dionne

Thank you sooo much Bundy,Alex and Dionne and everyone else making it a great event! Its amazing how much you can learn about flying with your feet firmly on the ground!! It's great to learn from the Experienced Pilots! PS: My 100 hours coming up soon...so Paul and (All the friends who did not comply...) we will have to organise a quiet Friday afternoon for our "customary Flight"...hehe

[mulderpm]

Buzz, wonder what you call a gaggel of naked flyers?... a bum's high? Bundy set the scene...we will have to comply, albeit very late for some of us. If they havent complied, do you think we will get Merv & Fanie &.......HANS...to do it

[HENNING JOHAN]

Thanks Bundy,Oom Alex en crew van microland!Just remeber every small part on a 582 is about R1OOO so that's why you pay R80000 for the motor.Was a great lesson learn and to see how the clock is working.Also to meet new face at the lessons.Keep it coming Bundy!

[BuzzLight]

Paul, I think we must start a "honesty" wall for all the 100 hr + guys with some evidence of their compliance...

Buzz, Good idea Who is going to be the photographer....

I was flying in Mozambique when I did my 100th hour, somewhere near Inhambane, if my memory serves me correctly......so I did fly naked, but there was no one that saw me...well except for Dionne of course....but that does not count. Also no pictures/evidence.....
