THE MICROLAND THREAD..."Home of the Tailwinds"

A few of us are flying out from Rhino Park to Delmas tomorrow morning. We'll probably cross paths on route
Maybe we'll stop by Zynkraal and join you for a brekkie on our way back.

Cool, maybe I'll route Delmas instead and catch up with you guys there... play it by ear.

EDIT: Jaco and Fizel joining me...will def see you guys there.

Alan you guys manage to fly this morning? I did one circuit and got shaken around like crazy so called a full stop, had some hectic weather over Rhino moving South...

Hi Ant,

Ja we were all ready to go at around 05h15 but the sky she was pissed off. Jaco and Fiz also did one circuit and landed...flyable but real "mieliepaproer" conditions. Just one of those days....I hung around and managed to fly for about an hour just after 08h00. (these other two poor schmucks had to go work! )

Jaco and Fiz took some pics of the skies towards the west....
Rhino area did not look too good from where we were standing.... Better safe than sorry!

Got lots of time now to fly...so no worries

[Bundy]

Kindly been offered a flip in a Jabiru tommorrow morning...whoo hoo

Thanks Jaco P.

[Bundy]

Had a lekker flip in the Jabbi @ Rhino this morning. Weather was awesome.

Thanks for the flip Jaco Pitout

I think Alex Rudd was a bit confused this morning....he seems to have put the wrong helmet on and climbed into someone else's trike?? I wonder whose it was?

Hi Ant,

The clouds telling us to stay on the ground.

Cheers
Ant

[Bundy]

Hope you all had a lekker flip to the crater...sorry I could not join you guys, I was too busy giving some first timers a taste of Samoosa driving.

Ballito Flight school owes me some commission!

Expect this face to appear for enrolement in the very near future! Well done Evan Collier...sorry dude I think I just cost you R100K

If you okes were not in the sky this morning you REALLY MISSED OUT! Awesome flying conditions

Anyone going this afternoon?

[bobthebuilder]

Twas a lonely afternoon....

[Bundy]

Twas a lonely afternoon....

Pity you didnt have company Byron....I think the guys were all "flown out" after the morning's stint.

Must admit to being a bit scared of the PM flying in the summer, these charlie bravo's seem to pop up out of nowhere. My other major problem is that when it's 32 degrees in the shade it's almost impossible to go the whole day without a lekker ice cold beer!

All my PAX think we are crazy pilots to get up at 4AM and head off to the airfield!

They change their minds very quickly though!

[bobthebuilder]

Hi Alan, are there any flights planned for the next week?

[Bundy]

Nothing really planned as far as i know Byron....lot of guys away as well. I'm home bound for today and tommorrow (government orders! ) and looks like the weather's getting a little grotty mid week. Towards the weekend it's looking much better.

I'll prob be doing a few flips for some friends again over next weekend. We are spending New years weekend on a plot just 3km from FABA Nice and close to The Beautiful Dawn.

Merry X mas everyone

...dont forget to add another 20kg to your take off weight calculations after lunch tommorrow!

[Bundy]

Hey guys...anyone still left in Gauteng?

I will be flying tommorrow...got two Scottish friends to take up for a wee flight.

Maybe see some familiar faces there in the morning?

Fri/Sat/Sun lookin good so far?
