Wie was die dorste piloot

Names are withheld to protect the families - all I can say, he was also the most tired pilot on Saturday.

Unfortunately they left the cleaning of the bar facilities to only 6 of us - and Grumpy's guitar got involved............ and then this anonymous samaritan invited us to his layer

I am going to get carrots for this.

The tired one.......

[Low Level]

There were some other tired pilots also along the route. Waiting for our fuel backup on a farm south of Wepener, old no 7's survival kit with gas stove and coffee and pot and water and dried food and rusks and...... , for some reason unknown to anyone, hitched a ride on the trailer. The wait therefore got to some of the pilots.

One tired pilot

One tired pilot, and one full of beans

Two tired pilots

Three tired pilots

Lekker

[FLYNOTE]

This is exactly what it is all about. Making and sharing magic times with like minded souls and in doing so creating magic everlasting memories.
Marius ... Hoekom styg daai Xenon so skeef soos n lendelam dik gevrete gans op?

[BONZAI BELL]

Dit lyk of hy die Burgermeester van Ladybrand in die regter seat het.(so effe oorgewig)

[mak]

Marius ... Hoekom styg daai Xenon so skeef soos n lendelam dik gevrete gans op?

Johan

Soos RV4ker sou gese het: "I had a mechanical failure on take-off, the mechanical link between the pilot seat and stick".

Marius ... Hoekom styg daai Xenon so skeef soos n lendelam dik gevrete gans op?

Lag ek my maag nou seer.

Johan jy is nader aan die kol as wat jy dink. Daai broodjies wat Marius die vorige aand gebraai het, was net syne, en jy weet hy vlieg van die regterkant af.

Hi all,

As some of you might know, my Focus2Frame website crashed when I tried to load in excess of a thousand photographs on it. In the interim, the only way out was to create a Face Book profile "Gyro Copter ( Earl Oosthuizen )" . I have since managed to get my site http://www.focus2frame.com going again. It is a brand new site and is still being fine-tuned, thus please forgive me if you encounter some glitches while browsing. Just click on the yellow Gyro ZU-ENZ in the home-page and you should manage to navigate through the galleries of the Gariep weekend effortlessly.
