1983 - R 7000.00 new aerie

Postby kloot piloot » Tue Jan 05, 2010 1:03 pm

Found these in a cupboard at home. Dates back to 1983. You can't even afford a prop these days for those prices. :cry:

My first flip in a microlight was in a Quicksilver MX 2 with Fanie Van Rensburg in 83 at Rhino park and in a trike was with Mike Blythe at Bapsfontein in 84 or 85. I was 6 years old. Those were the days!!!
