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

[Bundy]

Hey Guys,

Wont be flying on Sat but Sunday morning I'll be heading to a pvt strip near Cullinan if you want to join me. I called today and the runway was mowed recently and in decent condition I'm told. The land belongs to a client of mine and we are welcome there.

I know we haven't decided on a name yet but...here is something we thought up that could look good. Would like your input and ideas.

Names of the airfield and pilot are obviously custom.

[Bundy]

Why were Stef and I alone at the airfield today?.....oh yes...it was KAK

Not a great day to fly, nearly turned around halfway to the airfield with rain and lightning covering the tower. We waited for about an hour and it got better. Lekker to fly with my partner in crime for a change. Had some good cross wind landing practice at Zynkraal and FABA...

Dont stress...you didnt miss much.

Hope next weekend is better.

I really wanted to join you this morning but when i heard the rain on the roof and i slept late.
I haven't been on the forrum for a long time and to read all these posts about a name for us is

So to join in i'll try to make you guys laugh as well, how about TOWER RANGERS

Won't be flying this coming saturday but will try my best to be there on sunday morning!!

Have a great week all!

TOWER RANGERS

Have a great week all!

I like!

Microlanders, I do not think we want to fit into a group defined as a GANG

A gang
1. A group of criminals or hoodlums who band together for mutual protection and profit...NO
2. A group of adolescents who band together, especially a group of delinquents...NO
3. A group of labourers organized together on one job or under one foreperson: a railroad gang....NO
4. A matched or coordinated set, as of tools: a gang of chisels...Maybe?
6. A pack of wolves or wild dogs....Don't think so
7. A herd, especially of buffalo or elk....not all of us
8. A series of similar tools arranged to work simultaneously in parallel...a gang bang?

Lets leave that name for others.

Had a great hour long flight this morning Only took off at 8 . A little bumpy, but there was no wind . No one else in circuit or for that matter on frequency. One R44 from Kittyhawk on 125.4 on route to FAWB. Almal het seker geskrik vir die donderweer vroeer vanogend. Johannes & Kennith took this opportunity to trim the grass on the edge of the runways and to spray weedkiller on 03. They had to run and dive a couple of times to avoid my touch and goes. I think I must fit a hooter on my aerie. Thanks, Johannes and Kennith, stunning guys them two.

Safe flying.

Right. We will vote on a name on Feb 16th. It will work like this...

All present will pick their 5 favorite names and write them down. These will be tallied up and the top 5 names will be entered into the Final Vote. Everyone present will then vote for their 1 favorite out of those to see what rediculous name we have given ourselves. You all have till the 14th to still submit a "name"

I havnt laughed so much in a long time reading a few of these!

I guess "The Microland wankers" would be inappropriate.
