WOW! So far, well worth the wait. Have flown plenty and the machine is really growing on me.
Will give a more detailed update on the conversion, proving flights etc in good time.

In the meantime here is a little teaser

Spuit Doom, die goed teel nou self aan... ;-)
Formation of 3 M24's in flight - Cellphone picture from mine of the other two (Vic & Llewellyn) isn't that good but you get the idea...

RFR & RFT from RJR
Hats off to Braam, Piet and Chris at CAA - WOW. It took all of 3 minutes this morning to sort out the paperwork and then 15 minutes of friendly banter and coffee. Who said you guys werent efficient AND FRIENDLY! It was a pleasure visiting you guys. Thanks

Mrs K went for a flip with me this afternoon and loved it so perhaps it will be worth the investment afterall.

Plan is to leave JHB on Saturday morning for FAHV (Gariep) then Sunday morning Gariep to Beaufort, Beaufort to Worcester then Worcester to Morningstar, maybe via FASH. Will keep contact with Paul on the way on Sunday.

We appreciate your interest guys and thanks for all the good wishes.

L&Cx

More to follow when we get back.
