Flying the Swamps 8 March 2014

Postby Air Hog » Mon Mar 10, 2014 12:30 pm

Saturday morning we had perfect flying weather out of Kroon. Myself, Theo Pille and Dawie took to the air in super smooth almost no upper winds and headed to the Swamps. After the heavy rains of the past week, it looked amazing!!!!

Ek was vrydag daar met die Fox en dink hy is die week nog voller na die groot reen van maandag.
