Vredandal Fly-in

Postby Trikenut » Sat Jul 26, 2008 3:52 pm

Hi all
I am thinking of driving up to the Vredandal flyin with my dad!
Dates are 29 - 31st of August, I just am wondering who we will see, how long we should stay and what to bring! vhpy

Thanks

A lot of us will be there. Morph, Gadget, Ranger, GR8-Dad, CLU-less, the Wintervogel Gang.

Bring bucks, and a sleeping bag and a tent, or book into a B&B

There is food and drink stalls music etc.

Nice to have
Hat, sunblock, sunglasses, camera, and a portable radio (lekker to listen to the guys in the air) and a jacket (it get's cold at night)

African Pilot planning to cover the event and guess who will be there. vhpy Have a friend in Vredendal - will just have to bum a ride from Cape Town Int and back. Maybe i can do a trade deal: a lift for a bed. Will be great to meet some of the Capies at last.

When flying in on the Saterday - take note of the times for the air displays to prevent being put on hold for a considerable time.v :wink:
