March April is the best flying time in Cape Town... but that is between the cold fronts that are starting to come through. So you will have a week of amazing weather then it all turns to sh#t for a few days (cold/rainy).

If you are looking for continous good flying in order to achieve a license in minimum time. I would suggest Johannesburg, Pretoria or Natal midlands during that period.

Ofcourse you may want to couple your training with the unrivaled beauty of the fairest Cape... :lol:

cb you have seen that South Africa during the winter months is a great place for flying allover so keep us posted where you are going to fly from..

Demon perhaps you want to explain to cb what "kak" means. :wink:

I suppose the clothing you bring along cb will be warm enough.

Hey cb,

You got brains – that’s a good decision :!: :!: Rather leave the non-playing rugby provinces out of the equation. :lol: :lol:

By the way, that PPG strapped on your back is also quite popular down here.

Use my email (link below) closer to the time.

We have about 5 flying schools in and around the greater Durban area so you have a lot of choices,
