Saldanha Fly - in

[bluesmancoops]

A fly-in is planned for the 14th June at Saldanha Airfield FASD, where there will be dinner on Friday night, breakfast Saturday morning, big Spit Braai on Saturday Evening and breakfast Sunday. Final costs will be posted later. It is planned that there will be 4 traffic controllers at the field on Saturday for a "controlled airfield" so microlighters can gain radio and approach procedure experience under friendly ATC's for example : pilots will go on a smal;l cross country and back whilst using correct radio work for a controlled airfield. For any further information contact Johann Froneman 082 457 9509 or Gerrit Nell 083 641 7730 or Mike Norman 083 225 6100

This is brilliant. For those of you who don't know Gerrit Nel is the ATC at Langebaanweg, the airforce base in Langebaan. THis will be excellent training for all the students.

Bluesmancoops, let Johan know that it is on the same weekend as the Tanqua fly-in arranged by Morne Jonker from Oudsthoorn, and a lot of the Morning Star guys plus obviously Oudsthoorn guys are going there. Is it not possible to move it?

Apparently some other club/school/airfield had these dates for the fly-in but they decided not to have one this year so Johann took over the dates

Hi Morph, are you going to saldanha or tanqua??

Looks like my direction will be saldanha.

Regards,

[Morph]

If I get EPH back then Saldanha because proving flight authority limitations will not allow for Tanqua.

I must still arange my plans. But I will go to saldanha as well, tanqua a bit too far for family, and I do not want to leave my wife at home alone.

I'll let you know at club meeting. If I go, at least I will know 2 people there, and hopefully a lot more when I leave.

Regards,

[Grumpy]

Is a student pilot welcome at a Fly In? By then probably still without an mpl and trike !!!

Of course, you can fly in with an instructor, or one of the other guys, or me if I have a spare seat at the time (got to find out what Gadget is doing) or drive in.
