Becomes overcast tonight. Starts clearing tomorrow PM and light wind swings North. Also see http://www.yr.no/place/South_Africa/North-West/Rashoop/ Click on the play button in the little screen on the right.

Tomorrow morning looks a bit iffy for trikes, but later on improves a lot. Rest of weekend also looking quite good.

gents,

it seems that the wether is not going to be favourable to fly tomorrow -- im going to rather look at flying out on Saturday weather permitting instead.

Agreed . . . please review the Magaliesberg Weather Guide for the Aeroden area, which is not that far away from Brits! (^^)

Sun starting to break through and a moderate north wind. Couple of a/c have arrived. Starting to look promising but this afternoon or Saturday will be the better option for trikes.

It is a perfect morning. Clear and no wind. Can look for miles after yesterday's rain.
Expecting quite a bit of activity today. Despite yesterday's weather, EAA already had 45 entries by last night.

I believe Sling will unveil a surprise at Brits today :?: :?: :?: (^^)
