I see they"ve decided to give Sri Lanka a miss and have instead re-fuelled and set track to the Seychelles. When they land there they would have flown 31 hours with a short fuel break - eish.

Safe on the ground in Seychelles noon our time I see, they must be knucking fackered. A mere 4000km to go to Springs via Kruger, over 90% done.
Re: Mike, James & the Team are flying around the world !!
Seems they will be arriving at Springs on thursday, not sure what time yet...

How about we get as many guys as possible to meet up with them overhead Delmas and fly in one of the biggest Sling and Trike formations ever, into Springs. Sure we can keep up with a bit of serious bar pulling with them close to the stall. Heeee Haaaa!!!!!! So where are the manne van staal

I'm in, what time should we meet at Springs or Delmas. I think that would be really fitting - seeing that Mike started with trikes.

Brett, jou doring!
Lets see how many can make it. We verify their take off time at Kruger and plan to meet at Delmas accordingly. When they are 10 miles out we all get airborne from Delmas strip and "carry" them to Springs.

I'm sure Mike is still very much a trike guy! I'm sure he still loves them, and will continue to do expeditions in his one. (Aerotrike Cobra - ZU-SKY)Nkwazi wrote:I think that would be really fitting - seeing that Mike started with trikes.
The fixed wing was probably a better idea for going around the world! I think after 13-14 hrs of flying the trike have been out of fuel for a while, and I don't think that your body would feel to good!

Good luck with this!
