What's that saying?

"Don't poke the bear..."

[AndyG]

Like it or not I'm back.
The bear has been poked.
I'm going for flight medical next week and if that goes well I will do the necessary to renew my license. After that I will be in the market for an Aquila with a bluetop and will start doing flyaways again. Company owes me lots of leave so would like to use it and start touring the country again on a trike.
I pulled out my logbook on the weekend and read the little cryptic comments I would put to remember certain trips and it brought back many happy memories. I also managed to find the journal that I kept and updated after different trips and this has ignited the passion again. Found a couple of photo albums as well with pics from yesteryear and the trips I used to do on my single ignition Windlass with skinny wheels and no shocks and can't believe the places I used to land with her.

Welcome back Andy

[AndyG]

Thanks Guys

[Tjoek]

Also still around. Started trike flying in 1995, and still long those early Kalahari bundu basbes where memories were made. Still has a trike at Microland, but admittedly only fly on the occasional Sunday afternoon. I do stalk the forum from time to time though.
Safe flying all

Nice of you to report in Kobus

I can't remember ever seeing you on microlighters

See if you can join us for the Potties Patrolie. Lekker camping trip

[Sukkelaar]

Poke around now and again.

[Leprachaun]

Ja manne dis nou vir julle n ding het lanklaas gepraat , en ou Willempie van die vlakte stuur ook groetnis ek gaan by hom in die volgende 2 weke n draai maak

[Scorpio]

Ons mis daai man van die vlaktes, veral sy se goed.

[bobthebuilder]

I want to start flying again but my license lapsed a number of years ago and I am also on BP pills so probably wont pass the medical

Also on BP tablets. Medical no real issue, just a slightly different protocol in that the stress ECG is every medical, and not every second one. Also medical validity shorter by half.

Thanks for the info. That's reassuring.

I also give Microlighters a look every now and then. Really enjoyed the grass roots aspect of my flying trikes many years ago. Had a trike at Microland some time ago. Got into gyroplanes after that, so I tend to watch the Gyro Talk threads mostly, although it’s very quiet these days, almost dead. Qute sad.

These days I fly my Magni M24 gyro out of Stellenbosch airfield. If I’m not flying that, then I fly left seat of an Airbus 320 on the domestic, which is a great priviledge too.
