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

[Robbie Shaw]

Well done guys for your brave efforts .... I am sure one day your rewards will come from the fridge..lol

[mulderpm]

It is because of the already consumed rewards that we were so brave.

I am sure, anyone of us, when needed, would have jumped in and helped.

Ai TOG en toe mis ek net net al die aksie. Om terug te ry in die stofstorm het my darem redelik besig gehou.

It's not so much the cap that concerns me it's the hollow noise my head was making when the hail stones hit, I think I will buy a beanie!!!

....who helped secure the remaining hangar door and held down the trikes inside.

At the Groblersdal flying club one hanger blew away completely and two aircrafts got seriously damaged.
Another hanger got the doors blown away with other two aircraft very almost damaged.
Remember last year about this time, Petit also suffered wind damage.

Now this has got nothing to do with flying but, I found it funny. The other day I saw this hairy worm/caterpillar and when I put the image into Google image search to find out what it’s name was ………..

this image came up.

Thanks Al. The way back was a bit bumpy but....as always.... still enjoyable.

Trusting both of you had fun... Being out of the skies for sometime now is horrible...

[Bundy]

We did thanks Rhodie.

Just reminded me to get my arse into gear and get our "new" training bars re-powder coated so I can re fit them onto DBP asap. In those conditions I far prefer to fly with them.

1 up... I was bouncing around like a hot potato! After 7 weeks the landings could be better!

I'm taking the terrorist fishing this weekend, will catch up with you dysfunctional bunch of clowns at the X mas braai! Gonna be lekker!

Oh...and new rule in the "Tailwinds FC"....when you wake up on a Friday please send Paul an sms to remind him what day of the week it is....

Schmuck!

[mulderpm]

Can you believe it...the weather at Microland gave me a 20 minute window this morning for a quick flight. Low cloud, just over Microland and Eastwards, when I got there at 5H30 clearing, just at Microland/Bapsfontein, by 6H05. Took off and flew for 15 minutes until low clouds came roling in from the Northwest. The colours of the sky were incredible. Also, after last nights rain it was smoothe.

Stefanus, ek wag nou nog vir jou "I will let you know" oproep!

[Bateleur]

Paulus, I am so sorry man! I totally forgot to phone you to say that I couldn't make it. I need to get into the air very soon though. Rest of the week looks
