I made it. The weather was bloody awfull. Hardly slept a wink Saturday night. I tied the Turbi to the Venture`s bullbar to keep it from being blown away. It was a stormy night of note, wind gusting an bucketing like I have seldom experienced it. The kuiering was lekker, renewed old frienships, and met some new friends. I had a good time, as everyone else in attendance did. I had to leave my aerie there on Sunday, and only flew it back on Tuesday. I did not fly on sunday, so I could live to fly another day. It was sad, really, the weather not playing the game, for , as usual, the Vredendal people went thru a lot of pains to have everything shipshape for a nice "Flying festival". None of the airshow performers, with the exeption of SAAF, turned up. Even yours truly was asked to do a flypast. And: Maar jy moenie die hond rerig losmaak nie. vhpy . Very difficult to do, but of course all was weathered out anyway, so we had nothin else to do but kuier, and KUIER we did. (^^) (^^) (^^) (^^) (^^) (^^) Sorry you guys could not be there, lets hope the weather Gods are in a better mood next year.
