Hey Alan,

tks for the game drive / flight this morning. Had a great flt back.
What a amazing trip. Flew down yesterday, with dad, Virginia, Margate, Port St. Johns, Umtata :roll: , Kei Mouth, Port Alfred / 43rd, G/Town. and then back today same route. 12.4 hrs in 2 days, not bad going. The transkei must be one of the most beautiful area's in the country. Mile, after mile, (to be read 200ft, 80 kts,) of nothingness. At some stage, I thought that the radio had packed up. PLanning on leaving again tomorrow, probelm is where to now. Namibia??? Have pics, will make a plan (wart - HELP) to get some of the better one's online. tks alan for drinks last night, and for the flip this morning. Note to all, if you are landing at a airfield, where there are landing fees, (Umtata :roll: ), DON'T say you have a pax R45.00. Rather say, you are a crew member. Yes, today, my lil sis was my "co-pilot, (who needs a co pilot on a 22), she told the guys that she was "map reader).

Actually I am one of Junkies few failures (Anyone offering remedial flying lessons?? Lessons for students with “special needs”)
:shock: Objection your honour -Junkie has never had a single failure. ( ok were not talkin about dem udder wuns right now !) I prefer to think of my awsum prowess as instructor, sometimes having to handle these difficult cases as a Project without a Beginning and an End date, is all :P :wink: 8)

My remedial offering is highly effective and consists of a set of jumper leads attached to any handy source of megawatts - werk elke keer. I just need to figure out how to get those vapour stains off my leather outfit and genuine dark ages stocks I had installed in cellar, just for this very important work. :shock: :twisted: :twisted: (**)

Griff baby, u just gotta 'member to open yer eyes when ya get close to mutha erf & push out a little on the ol bar man, oh and dont think either kay ! :P :P :wink: :D

Thanks Guys for the birthday wishes

It was really nice to meet KB in person. Any other passing aviators are more than welcome. On a more depressing note about birthdays, I just heard on the radio this morning that in three years time I am eligable to retire at the Milkwoods Retirement Village. :shock:

Got a hour training on Wednesday and it felt like I flew for the first time. Not that nice butterflies in the gutt etc. But it felt like I could do nothing right. :oops: :oops:
Thanfully I know I'm not the only one. Next time I'll nail it for sure.

One hour of bad flying beats two weeks of no flying hands down. :wink:
