Microlghts vir Afrika

Postby DarkHelmet » Sun Apr 08, 2012 6:30 pm

Anyone know about this show on KykNet at 18:00?

Danny Cornelius and Des Rasmussen?

Stumbled onto the end of it.

I picked it up on the scheduling but due to the technological restraints In Upington area I also missed out on it.

Would like to get my eyes on this program!

It has been on before a few years ago. I really enjoyed it. I dont think it is a new one.

Re-run...maybe we should make our own microlighters show for kyknet. Do we have any experts in this field on this forum?

The program was shot by Danny and Des when they both still lived in Mooirivier. Danny then moved to Ladysmith. He was a talented musician and cameraman.

Sadly Danny passed away this morning (10/4/2012) :( :( :( He was sooo happy that the program was going to re-run!!! R.I.P. Danny Cornelius

Hello Larry. A cold shiver washed over me when I read that Danny had passed this morning..this morning while I was flying around, up and down this beautiful KZN North Coast, sharing the absolute beauty of pure flying with grateful folk.... while I was so alive, Danny passed:( He came to La Mercy, and did an episode from there. I enjoyed meeting and flying with him...regards and condolences to his family. David

Saw one of the episodes. A bit amature obviously, but very explains the passion very nicely.

If I watched these 10 years ago I might have started flying earlier.
