Botswana Air Show 26 July 2014
Hi Guys
The Botswana air show is on 26 July and seems like it will be huge this year. Last year was a big success and they promise more fun this year. Camping facilities available with ablution and hot showers. Matsieng airfield is just north Gaborone and customs and immigration is available on site so not needed to fly to Gabs at all.
Anybody planning to go? I have booked my camp site and am ready for this I will be leaving the Saturday morning early from Wonderboom to Pilanesberg on to Matsieng returning Sunday via Gabs for a quick fuel stop and coffee as it is middle of winter and I will be making use of some liquid courage the night before to stay warm
For the GT guys and Savannah and SkyJeep guys, it should be about an 90 minute flip from Pilanesberg to the show.
for more info and reservations, check out

Cheers

+- R 1500-00 for ATF for a single return flight is a bit steep.

Officially, as of now, the Permit To Fly fee has not been waivered, as expected. Am expecting an official response soon.
