What a lekke weekend. All of us arrived back home safely. A big thank you to Richard and the team form Nylstroom for probably the best orginized event of the year. In total between 130 and 140 aircraft attended the event. We had a joll and will be there again next year. In total we had 8 Bushbabies Explorer's and Safari's attending. Well done guys. I will post some pics when I had time to make them smaller.

We are safe at home. WOW what a event, I will take my hat of to the Nylstroom team you did a splendid job with this event. WHELL DONE (^^) (^^)

Hat of to all the pilots that kept it safe with the help of uncle Bob. 340 odd movement at a event like this take a cool and calm Afis to keep all on track.

I will be back next year for more fun :wink:

PS. Thys los die wind voorspelling eerder volgende jaar ASB -0< -0< -0<

Hahahaha, jy wil mos!! :lol: :lol:

Awesome weekend. Lots of work by the Nylstroom Vliegklub. Every second of your hard work and bending over backwards was worth it, and appreciated by one and all xxx . (Smooch for the ladies). A small club doing moving-the-mountain-work to bring a grassroots event to the aviation community and pulling the non-aviation 'ground birds' into this super event. The vibe this weekend made me think of the 'old' Margate fly in and EAA convention in the 1980's...... lots of flying, regardless of the wind, many friends meeting again (some of them 'old friends' by now) and many new friends made. Well done. (^^) (^^) (^^) (^^) (^^) (^^)

Aan Richard, Paul en die ander manne van Nylstroom, namens my en Oom Gawie, baie dankie vir die Hanger spasie wat julle aan ons beskikbaar gestel het. Ons wardeer dit baie.

n Baie spesiaale woord van dank aan Nico, n ware vriend duisend, wat saterdag middag in die sterk wind terug gevlieg het Potties toe en toe nog vir my en Oom Gawie kom haal het by Tail Draggers en weer van oggend ons terug soontoe gevat het. Ons waardeer dit opreg. (^^) (^^) (^^) (^^)

Ek kan nie wag vir volgende jaar se Tail Draggers nie..
