Hi Demon,

Battlefields will have fuel in 220l drums on a trailer. Take / borrow a jerry can - prices are reasonable + R 0.50 higher than in town. Plus, you can charge it to your room. :wink:

Regards

I think we will leave Friday afternoon around 2, that will give us plenty time to make a leisurely trip and still get there before sun-down
.

Hi Rudie. I'm also leaving from here Friday at about 14h00. We could join up?

Hi Tumbleweed,

Yes, we can do that, what are you flying ? Your cruise ?

Fly safe,
Rudi

Howzit Demon !

Unfortunately for you we have seen this event!!!! BUT fortunately for you none of the 3R`s will be going down due prior arrangements and work, so finally you will have some food on n fly-out! Hopefully with us out of the picture you will be able to enjoy your food and gain a few Kg`s in your quest to reach the min pilot weight for your GT!!! :wink:

To all who have the privilege of attending this event, enjoy it and fly safe! See you all in Numbi..
