Why are they flying it there. Will it just stand there and can it ever take off again from your strip.

PS
If you rekon the stip is not lekka for our little aeries how the F.... is the 6 gonna cope?

[Goose]

I checkes the runway today and still not in order. Small wheels and loose sand not a lekker mix and still some bumps. I use the old part of the runway for my Kitfox

Nicow the trike will be able to land if you want to fly inn

The plane will never fly again My neighbour is a collecter of old historical stuff

Have a look on AVCOM. Goose posted pictures and it seems like a useable runway now. Goose, please keep us posted. How soft is it? Can airies with narrow tyres get in and out? Is your old runway still visable and perhaps better for microlights?

[Rudix]

Will be there with cameras weather permitting

Fly safe,
Rudi

Hi All

I will not recommend aircraft with narrow wheels to atempt the landing if we dont get rain before saterday .

The old runway whas still visible last time I was in the air. The old runway is 500m long and perfect for microlights, Kitfox and Bush Baby's

All aircraft use the runway at there OWN RISK

Last I heard the DC6 will be here at 08:00 So all visiting aircraft MUST be on the ground At 07:30 but I will keep you all up to date

I will give a final update Friday afternoon and if possible a shot from the air

Runway
S25 34 47
E028 16 10

The old runway is markt in red

Hi Julle

Tot my verbasing het hier baie mense opgedaag vandag wat nie die bootskap gekry het nie . Toe ek so net na 8 opstyg oppad Rhino park toe, kry ek n stuk of 20 voertuie met mense en hulle kameras wat dink ek met my KITFOX is die DC6 op die punt van die aanloopbaan . Ek het toe maar weer geland en hulle gaan reghelp.

Broker
Ja die baan kan verleng word, net n boom of twee wat moet uit. Die geel is hoe hy nou is ,die blou is wat moet by kom.

Klink vir my hulle gaan die airi die 13 NOV bring ,sal julle op hoogte hou

Groete
Goose
