Orange River Odyssey

[FLYNOTE]

I am a huge Dobermann fan and always tell everybody that you get dogs, and then there are Dobermanns. I maintain in aviation that you get aircraft... And then there are gyroplanes.
Johan jy het die regte hond nou kort jy net die regte GYRO!

Ou swaerie! Hoe ouer jy word, hoe gouer kry jy kouer in n ope. Daarom maak jy maar hier van 60 af toe !! And if loneliness and a touch of boredom kicks in on a long leg because your pax is somewhere in a seat behind you In a tandem... Its leka to just turn your head 90 degrees for eye contact in a side by side. For now, i like my dog and I like my gyro. Tomorrow I'll still like my dog and if nothing better comes along ... I'll still like my Xenon
Just read through Jean's post again and enjoyed the brilliant pics. all over again .This really is an amazing post and must find a placing in a mag. Will someone alert Athol and SA Flyer ? this post must find a further placing

Johan I have to agree , Looks like we have a NEW official writer for the Gyro Community .

Hope to see more from you Jean , and i trust that after this Odyssey no runway would intimidate you again !

Well Done AGAIN

Wow, dis die beste storie wat ek nog ooit van lugvaart gelees het. Baie geluk, jy mag maar skryf. Jy kan geld maak met die artikel. Veilig vlieg, ou maat.

Airman of the year "resting" at Grasdrif. The hungry looking mongrel was on the menu if the weather didn't clear.

WOW! Jean. What a well presented version of your stunning trip! Awesome mate.
(Sorry I missed it until now... busy flying also)

I am proud to have had a little part in your training and knew all along that you had 'the right stuff'.
We are honoured to welcome you to the group of 'outside the cabbage patch' fliers.
Jonathan and Dave are wonderful mentors and you are truly fortunate to have gained your real cross-country experience with such great airmen.

I applaud all of you for a well executed, amazing trip.
(envious of course that I could not share it with you but I'll be there next time for sure)

Fly safe and keep the fantastic photo's coming. Thats what Gyro flying is all about !!
