Low Flying over Ntokozo Game Lodge - Not Allowed

Postby Tribal Croc » Tue Dec 14, 2010 9:38 am

Last weekend a yellow bantam was doing a low level fly by over Ntokozo Game Lodge. :twisted: :twisted: :evil: :evil:

Please note that you will no longer be allowed to do low levels over Ntokozo without landing and saying hi ## ## ##

Christo this will be your first warning :lol:

On a lighter note for everybody that will be around this holiday and are looking for a nice flight out and some good company please feel free to come and visit us here in the bush.

We also do breakfast at R40 for the hungry

Hope to see some microlighters sooon puff















ps. just joking about the low levels (!!)

Breakfast for guest staying at the Lodge is between 8 and 10

But for fly in pilots just give me a call the night before with your ETA and I’ll make arrangements and then breakfast will be ready on arrival

Hi Blue Max

Sal jy asb die koordinate noem? Dit klink of dit 'n goeie fly- away kan wees vanaf Kroon(Rosslyn) Warmbad(Bela- Bela) is darem nie te ver nie. vhpy Dan wil ek en 'n mede microlight verslaafde by ons klub vroeg in die nuwe jaar vir 'n naweek vir jou kom kuier. Sal vooraf reel.

Groete

Hi Tribal Croc

I was looking for both Ntokozo Game Lodge as well as Blue Maxe's co-ordinates. Thanks for giving it. vhpy I will find Blue Maxe's on his avatar. I have put in the co-ordinates on my GPS and I see that your place seems not to be far from Borokolalo National Park(to the North of Bora) and Klipvoordam. :?: Can you perhaps tell me how far to the North is your place from Borokolalo National Park/Klipvoordam? (!!)

I want to organise a fly-in to your place early in 2011. If it is not too far from Kroon, we can fly in during early morning, have a brekkie and fly back. vhpy The other alternative is to fly in, spend the day there, sleep over and come back early morning. Do you have hanger space available to overnight a trike or two?

Once again, thank you for your friendliness to invite fello aviators to come to your place- it is really heart warming to have people like you and Blue Max among us. (^^)

Regards

Hi Andries

We are 40nm from Kroon and 9nm to the north of Klipvoor Dam.

Just let me know when you want to fly inn an I will organize everything my side.

We have just completed the hangar and it looks like we will be able to fit 4 trikes comfy.

ps. just a reminder when flying over boro keep above 2500ft otherwise "groot marakas"!!

Tribal croc:

Thank you very much-I really appreciate your hospitality. vhpy I am going to arrange a fly in to your place early in the new year and I will let you know when we will be coming.

It is amazing what difference it makes in terms of distances, if you compare flying with driving. Driving from Pta to Bela-Bela seems to be quite long, but if you look at the flying distance, then it seems to be just "anderkant die bult"

Yes, we will definately fly high above Borakalalo. A year ago I had a very unpleasant experience when I illegally landed at the landing strip at Borakalalo- by landing there, I nearly landed in jail! :(> But that is another story for another day......

Ja Krokodil!

Just wanted to make sure you guys are awake when I did the low fly-by! Saw you dashing out with your bakkie and appreciate the quick service in wanting to come and get me at the airfield....sorry man, but was on my way to Mabula to meet Deon and Hans - could just as well have landed cause they were an hour late!

Will land next time...PROMISE!! :wink:

(Hope I didn't wake the guests? (!!)
