JFK you could always drive in :wink: vhpy :lol:
Landed at Boris's strip a couple of times (just for practice) on Sunday morning. I didn't find it THAT challenging, but then you guys at Middelburg are spoiled with your enormous loooooong wiiiiide runways :lol:
Just remember the actual landing place is not the wide green strip on the left, its the narrow one next to it! :wink: It slopes quite a bit uphill and there's no opportunity to do a go around (although its been done) because of the telephone lines at the top of the hill.
See ya all there!!! vhpy

Always a good idea to broadcast on the Witbank Frequency 123.50 passing to the north or south depending on routing. Benics 124.80

I would stay on 123.5 for Benics, its very close to Witbank airfield - almost in the circuit. Witbank's unmanned so normal unmanned procedures apply. From about 09:00 there's the possibility of paradrops over Witbank, shouldn't interfere with micros at Benics, but please avoid crossing FAWI overhead (unless you want a new cowling ornament or in-flight passenger).
Looking forward to seeing you all there (even though I'm driving in :cry: :cry: )
