I flew with Anton in that Quantam a few Sundays ago when the wind was pumping. Now that's a plane!

Agreed. The pilot is even more impressive - I needed sugar-water again after I flew with him Sat :lol: :lol:

Takes microlighting to a whole new level :lol:

Whatever :roll: ($$) :mrgreen:

My scenery involves flying over shacks and cattle herders - beat that :oops: :roll:

Once again I think some of the BEST pics so far are from the coastal guys / gals. Zulu, FF, Beaver etc.

Perhaps contenders for Calendar 2008. I've noticed time is going too slow, I want to turn the page on my calendar already :twisted:

Beaver 550,

I didn't know your Beaver could fly that high to take the Houtbaai pic. For those of you not in the know the flattened piece of mountain slightly up and left of the bay is in fact Table Mountain taken from the south instead of the north as per normal. Now Table mountain is about 3000ft high so you can get an idea of the altitude of this shot

Secondly, did you notice the moerse groot hammerhead behind the surfer. You can just barely make out it's shadow. That's the biggest head I have ever seen on one of them :wink: :lol:

Beautiful pics, I miss my plane
