Thunderbirds to the Drakensberg

[Air Hog]

All Thunderbird Owners

This used to be a tradition for Thunderbirds to congregate at the Drakensberg for a weekend of Fun Flying so we have decided to rekindle this.

We are planning a trip to the Drakensberg to see how many Thunderbirds we can get together. I have discussed this with Trevor Davies and he is very keen.

At this stage we are looking at 1st of May to the 5th of May 2013. The 1st is a public holiday. That will give us 5 days of flying.

Please post your name and registration here if you are interested so that we can get an idea of what the response is.

So I did this trip 3 times in my TBird but sadly dont have one anymore, but would be very happy to fly along in my Sav

Cheers Ian

Change of dates: 1st to 5th of May 2013. Apparently this is the best flying weather of the year for the Berg area.

Hi Ian, ex Thunderbird pilots definitely also welcome!! The more the merrier

[James Bentley]

the 'Berg is a great place to visit

a group of us flew up to Winterton on Sunday for the annual EAA waffle hut fly in with the RV Brigade

fantastic flying with beautiful scenery alongside the mountains which were sprinkled with snow again!

I highly recommend the experience and of course if you do all manage to come down this way a visit to Eva's Field is compulsory

hope to see you guys down here next year

oh yes! I also owned a Thunderbird many years ago, ZS-VPS

anybody know if it is still around?

[IceAge]

ZU_RIC will be there

My thunder Bird het n 582 engine, nie n BMW of n 912 nie..!!!
En ek vlieg met n geleende rotory shaft wat Trevor Davies vir my op apro ingesit het..
Ek kan alleen saamgaan as ek weet hy gaan nie die engine strip om sy shaft wat ek nog nie betaal het terug te vat nie!!!
Dan is dit ook nog op my verjaarsdag daardie naweek...
Ek sal hierdie saak by die huis eers moet deurwerk.!!!
Maar naruurliksal ek wil saam!!!

[Air Hog]

Hi Paul
Laat Debbie saam kom. My vrou gaan ook saam en ons kan reel dat hulle saamry. 'n Man het ground crew nodig

En, daar is 2 Thunderbird 582's van Kroon wat gaan, so...

Van Kroon wat gaan
2 x 582 Thunderbirds
1 x 618 Thunderbird (moontlik nog een)
1 x 912S Thunderbird (moet net finaal bevestig)
1 x BMW Thunderbird

Kom join ons, dit gaan feeste wees.

[Blue Max]

Ek sal eers wag dat Numbie agter die rug is voor ek Debora begin sag maak vir die drakensberge.!!
Dit behoort nie te moeilik te wees as ek weet daar is n jacuzi in die kamer !!!
