Looks right to me....especially FAD182 on 122.35 but when in that area, keep an ear on 125.6 and 124.8 as well
Airspeed, altitude, or brains....you always need at least two

Seems to be a problem there Ducky with the chaps not knowing or switching... will stick to 125.6 on alternate though till halfway of FAD and then on to 124.8 for the rest. Maybe one day I'll fit another radio just to monitor but a bit overkill for what and where we fly!

Hallo John

Next Thursday morning (11 August - early) me and vroulief will do a quick trip from Petit, Eagle flight (Hartswater) to Upington and then back on the Sunday. Its our school reunion(30 years) and I cannot wait to be with my Kalahari friends. You know, every time I put my feet in that soft desert sand I get "hoendervleis". The Kalahari is just so part of me......

Go Cheetah go!!!
