Helicopter Activity at Vereeniging Airport?

Postby Skinner » Tue Feb 02, 2010 1:47 pm

Does anyone know what's going on at FAVV with what looks like 2 Oryx or Puma Choppers doing circuits and flying in the area non stop for the past week or two :?:

Thanks George :wink: someone surely has a lot of cash to burn to keep those two turbines spinning :o

Hi Barry, did you also fly down to the Vaal on Friday :?: 2 GT450's passed the model strip at about 4:30pm, waved them in to come say hi but they continued north.

We're now based at Klip (Skinner & LSO), Freddy and them is doing a great job there and the field looks awesome vhpy , you should let me know when you're around again and pop in for coffee :wink:
