Thanks Jaco and Alan. (^^) (^^) Now I can get pensioners discount (!!) ^ vhpy

Sorry I couldn't make it this morning ## There were three reasons, one is similar to Jaco's alternative reason, and the other two are related to the previous night's activities ## I am sure you guys had a great flight... vhpy ...will join you next time for sure (^^)

Yip...we did 3 hours this morning.....

......of talking crap next to the hanger :wink: :lol:

Grateful to Fanie for at least giving my first time PAX a taste of samoosa driving. (^^) I must admit that these days I am a bit "pedantic" about PAX...been that way since the prang in March. :wink: Have decided that conditions must be near perfect if I'm to take another life in my hands....dis maar net hoe dit is. Dana Bloem got a nice smooth flight with two decades of experience in the front (^^) The flying bug has bitten....he has allready asked me for all sorts of Budgetory advice! 8) :lol:

Dana and Fanie...

Dont know if it's el nino, 21/12/2012, bad karma or what?.... but this weather sucks donkey balls. (**)

Remember Paul...a good "Barbie" is Nature's way of reminding you that you kicked ass last night. (^^) (!!)

My apologies to Steve Bosch who promised us breakfast just north of Cullinan. We would have loved to come through but the weather she is a b!i#h :( We will definately try again in a week or two. (^^) Please let me know what we owe you for the "hospitality" we could not get to recieve?

Also a big thanks to Jaco for donating a whiteboard to the cause. Paul... will you please credit the "fine" he recieved for missing the last braai! ^ (^^)

Many thanks Sir :)

Missed you all this morning ## ## WX was briefly perfect vhpy Sorry I missed you Feizel...just bad timing. Hope you saw my frantic waving as we passed each other near the tower. Smoooothe hey (^^) Put your shifting on the table in your hangar. Thanks for the loan. vhpy (^^)

And the best is, there is nothing wrong with AMH ......this morning (^^)

There is a new " Airfield" with two short tar runways on the right side of the main road halfway to Zynkraal..next to two small fishing dams. Does anyone know anything about this airfield ? There is a new laps as well. :?: :?: Looks interesting ($$)

Fly safe

Paul, that is the RC flying field I told you about the last we came from Rhino Park. It is where Lynwood Road joins the R50.

Had a good flight to Rhino just to join the circuit with about 4-5 in the circuit.

Thanks Feizel. Judging by the length of the runways it looks like an RC field. (^^)

See you during the week.

Did you find your shifting? :?:

Will do. Seems to be a change in the WX for the next couple of days. Have to make use of it. This morning would have been difficult. (^^)

See you Tuesday. vhpy
