Re: 14 Dec LONG weekend Fly-Away to ELANDS Quad Camp
Just a thought.
Is it not possible to get 1 airplane with a transponder and then fly as a "gaggle" / formation with this plane.
Or at least until you're all out of the Notam zone.
Surely there's at least one plane (bantam, kit fox, cubby etc) that's got a transponder!!!!
You should be able to "file" this flight with a number of craft.
Or am I way to optimistic about the organizational abilities of the powers that be in charge of flight authorizations at SAAF.

Re: 14 Dec LONG weekend Fly-Away to ELANDS Quad Camp
No, each airplane must be transponder equiped and have its own authorisation. If you have an authorisation number and you do not squawk on take off, they have equipment that will pick you up in the 50nm radius when you leave the ground. This is from the horses mouth.Blue Max wrote:Maybe some-one can investigate this idea?Baitbird wrote:Is it not possible to get 1 airplane with a transponder and then fly as a "gaggle" / formation with this plane.

Nee, ons sal maar net deur ry. Omdat ons nie meer vlieg nie, het Stef gese hy kom nie meer nie. Faizel ook nie.Blue Max wrote:Gaan julle die trikes Trailor? dit was al voorheen gedoen!!

Re: 14 Dec LONG weekend Fly-Away to ELANDS Quad Camp
What an awesome weekend....thanks to Oom Blue Max and to the Chain Gang. Your gifts to the Tailwinds will be displayed in our Lapa.
I only had one complaint....our aeries were not there...I know some guys managed to fly 100 hrs on poor Oom Pauls aerie but I wanted ours to be there . Next time they will be...looking at early January???
To the ladies, Dix, Yvonne and Fiona...you were fantastic.
Glad to hear Oom Paul had a safe flight back this morning. Dodging the thunderstorms/rain it took him more than two hours. I also had a great hour flight this morning. Embargo lifted and wx good....have to fly. No one complained when I suggested we drive back yesterday late pm so that we could fly this morning.
Had a brekkie at Kittyhawk and watched the Yak 52 taking people for flips. Was quite a lot of activity and a great breakfast. Thanks Mark & Fiona and family for the great company. Lekker flying the new Cobra hey..
Fly safe guys and have an blessed Christmas.
