Good to know because it seemed like this weekend there was a hell of a lot more wind than we predicted ?? - was howling in JHB.

Took off from Aeroden in a tumble drier, but as soon as you clear the turbulence created by the mountain (when blowing from the south), the air becomes manageable.

Aeroden windsock gets severely affected by wind - although you still land on 18 (uphill) and take off 36.(downhill)
Fake people worry about their image.... Real people just don't give a damn!!!
