Asterix's 40th Birthday Fly-inn: Beginsel,Standerton

Postby Asterix » Fri Feb 08, 2013 6:50 pm

Dudes, if you were not aware, I am turning 40 on 7 June 2013 - (which is a Friday).

Because I have been a travelling soul for the last 15 - 20 years, I really only have two bunches of people for which I truly care - 1. My Family and 2. My fellow aviators. I have not had time to shoot roots other than the aforementioned,save a handful of longtime friends - who will be there in any event.)

Obviously - I want to be, (and am going to be) at Beginsel over that weekend.

30 minutes ago I got the call: "We want to do something special for your 40th. What would you like?"

My answer was: FLY-INN!! ## ## In this way I have all my family and my winged friends with me, and it gives them an excuse for a flying weekend.

Details to follow - but roughly - fly in Friday, or Sat morning. Spend the day with me, with brunches etc, some flying over Grootdraaidam, we have my 40th in the mieliestoor - trikes all neatly parked inside to the back - on Sat evening - with all the trimmings - and flyback on Sunday. (late take-off probably because of fog - but it is winter - should be fine to fly late morning. (Also I'll pray seriously for good weather over the weekend that I become 40 - I trust those prayers will be answered.)

This is an open invitation to all my fellow aviators to join me on my 40th birthday. It will cost you only your fuel - and believe me - the Beginsel people is well known for their hospitality.

Even if you only know me via this forum - dude - you are my friend.

For now - BOOK THE WEEKEND! Details will follow.

( I might be there fresh from the KBB trip - if that realises..otherwise I will be there in any case!) (^^)

It would be a memorable occasion to me if you would fly in. No other gift from anyone would mean more to me, than spending the occasion of my 40th with some fellow aviators. :oops:

Guys - at this stage I need to gauge interest so that I can work on an approx. number in order to book accomodation etc.

So I need to know who might be interested in principle in order to get the planning going - I want this to be nice - (remember it is WINTER then in Standerton, NO sleepin' under planes - you will DIE :shock: )

So I can put down "Chaingang" x 3 people?? :roll: :roll: :?: (Bugwar is already in.)

James, I will be there mate. I am longing to get away with The Beautiful Dawn again.

I will post a link to the FABA thread for you. (^^)

Bugwar, you have a wingman (at least till you are out of sight :lol: )

Mag ek my vrou en kind saam nooi? (^^)

Yes of course you may. And you had better be there - I'm not gonna drink all the beer by myself! ##

Dudes again - the idea of this thread is to gauge interest so that I can start BUDGETING! ## Remember this is not a normal fly-inn, but an invitation to a birthday party - so I need to make sure you don't sleep in -3C conditions on a hard floor.

So again - details will follow once I have an approx idea of how many people may attend. xxx

The troll aside - s117 guys please remember I will need final numbers in a month's time. ## I need to make sure that you have lodgings that will keep you from freezing to death - Standerton becomes -4C at night in winter. Your trike crunches little pathways throught the frost as you taxi out.! :twisted:

The nice spin-off is that IF the fog lifts at anything between 09h00 and 11h00, the air is xxx . (Barring a westerly that decides to ruin your day as soon as you can see! :evil: :evil:)

So - two things are certain for your return trip Sunday morning:

1. You WILL have breakfast first - because you can't leave before you can see - which is way past breakfast time;

2. You MIGHT get hammered a wee bit once the fog lifts, and our Westerly friend rears its head! (Ask anybody who had to contend with that S.O.B two years ago returning from Secunda..)

Luckily, I know that my friends can handle turbulence, (Oi -joi-joi.. :wink: ), the country going back up to GP is nice and flat with plenty landing spots, and if push comes to shove - PLENTY of hangar space in the mieliestore, which has been extended over the last 3 months. (^^)
