This was one of the very best "Tailwheels to Nylstroom" events. Thank you very much to each and every person who was involved and made this happen (^^) (^^) (^^)

The weather, the facility, the braai packs, the salads, the ATC, the..... etc., just everything,was the best! (even the neighbours joined in and entertained us with music all night long..... :roll: (**) )

And because of the good weather lots of flying took place. The ATC guys handled the traffic with ease mixing fast and slow, high and low, with calm dedication and focus. Well done gents, with you in the tower we could relax and just fly!!. Eish, and the Radio procedures floored us, we are used to be 'controlled' or 'unmanned', but this in-between stuff..... but you ignored the mistakes and set us on the correct course... thank you.

Thank you for an awesome fly-inn ##

Flew in with a pax, with a precautionary landing at Warmbaths to sort out a bladder issue :lol:

Crosswinds to Nylstroom was 106 miles,going took us 1h20min and back to Crosswinds took us only 50min as we had a nice 20mph tailwind :mrgreen:

Thank you to the awesome ATC, really made me feel comfortable being in a circuit with four fixed wings ##

Looking forward to next years ##

(^^)
