What a wonderful weekend it was for both my wife and I! Great wheather on Friday so I decided to leave early morning and return on the Sunday. We decided to brave the “cold” and camp on the airfield. Thanks to every one at Nylstroom Vlieg Club, who with typical, fantastic "Small town" hospitality catered to every ones needs from hot coffee in the morning to delicious pap and gravy for that nights braai (BBQ) (^^) (^^) . We met some great people flipping on the Saturday and Sunday before departure. We will see you all next year. Here are just a few of the 948 pictures I took during the weekend.

Impressive turnout for the aeries. Saw some tailwheels as well. :lol: Nice breakfast was served and the vibe was very nice.

Had a nice flight with our newest gyro pilot and his wannabe gyropilotdad - especially after the flight back. :lol: Pretty sure the Big Man already booked his gyro flight test. There is going to be some screaming and foot stamping around that family for the gyro keys, especially when the weather heats up. :mrgreen:

Three gyros and two trikes - a very enjoyable flight. 8)
