"BUT and here's the BIG BUT - we would like ALL AVCOMMERS (and MICROLIGHTERS) as well as any other aviator you know to consider donating to the fund whenever they are guilty of a slight, or even not so slight transgression of good airmanship, that may have potentially required Sanjtie and her team's attention.

SO - if you feel you have started the dreaded chain of events and managed to either break it or were just lucky to get away with it - well thats DONATION TIME.

Maybe you sneaked under some clouds or God forbid were VFR on top for a while - well that's again DONATION TIME.

Maybe you edged of the runway just before the fence on a hot summers day - you guessed it - DONATION TIME.

Also maybe you argued that your GPS was all you needed to navigate with on Avcom - DONATION TIME."

I like the idea above - going forward I will donate R 100 everytime I stuff up - Scouts Honor. If this was retrospective, lets see how much I would have been out of pocket:

1. "East is East and West is West" (R100 - but taken care of x 2 above)

2. Outlandings due to deteriorating weather (cloud base) (3) 1 x public gravel road, 1x wenakker tussen twee mielielande, 1x sojaboonlanderye - R 300;

3. Low Level turns that was maybe a bit steep (about 4. Some will say it is more - but those were simulated forced landings :lol: ) R 400;

4. Almost taking of without seat belt :oops: (1) R 100.

5. Aborting take-off after point of no return due to a damn Egyptian goose on collission course with GeelKerneels - (1) R 100;

6. Swearing on VFR - numerous times but lets count it as one: R 100;

7. Trying to talk to Welkom's radio beacon :lol: (1) R100;

8.Flying into low cloud one month after getting my licence and almost dying (**) (**) (1) R100;

9.Giving Demon shit on the forum :oops: (1) R 100;

10. Being a d :roll: :roll: s in general (1) R100.

That ads up to: R 1500,00.

So in future - if I misbehave in any way - R100 into the fund. ##

Hmm. I see that R 100 has become a lot of money in the MPL fraternity. Dudes, I say onto thee - R100 is not even an hour of flying... Shame on you people... Dish - maybe the reason is because it is sticky above and no one sees the topic? I HOPE that is the reason... :cry: :cry:

Hi Asterix,

R 100 is nothing, you are right. It also means that logically my contribution will not last long? I hereby give you official notice that I am going to set up a monthly payment of R100.00 to the fund on a permanent basis to make sure that I am constistantly making my contribution.

Come on okes! I urge you to do the same! (^^) (^^)

Seeing that my wing is all packed up and ready to go to Numbi and that leaves me with no flying for a week I paid 5 hour's worth of flying time (R500.00)into the fund. ##

Keep up the good work Santie ## ##

I have Rob Thomas staying with us this week as we are working with AMS at King Shaka for a Agusta interface for the rescue teams.

I would like to share the footage of a rescue that they have recorded. these chaps are all volunteers and are available at all times should we need them.
