Mike, good meeting you this morning.

The runway is great, plenty long and a good surface. Here are some test shots - Russ and the Cheetha.
The first pic was taken from about the midway point of the runway.

The guys are gearing up for a cracker day, its looking good so far.

Thanks for the day, even though our breakfast turned into a boerie roll, it was an awesome day of flying. Nice long runways there too for gyro's to land on!

Thanks to each and every one of you that flew in for this event. Sorry I could not meet everyone in person and that some of you had to taxi trough the bundu's, I was under pressure to keep the airshow program on time. Exellent display by the gt450's, tiger moth, rainbow cheetah, gyro's, skydivers & snake team, thanks a lot guys. Harvards also dropped in at about 5pm, aswome. I'll post some pics on Monday and we'll do something just for microlighters again soon. Hope everyone enjoyed it,
Thanks again.
Mike Skinner.
