Politics

Postby Fairy Flycatcher » Sun Mar 18, 2007 12:34 pm

Read this recently: Non-flying but brilliant
I wanted to know the true meaning of politics, so I decided to look it up in the dictionary. It comes from two words: 'poli' meaning 'many' and 'tics', meaning 'bloodsuckers'
:D :lol: :lol:

Thanks Wart. Don't know for sure yet... am busy with my ATP subjects at the moment, and will try to get work flying offices, so that I can afford to fly real aeroplanes, like my trike 8) :wink:

David will probably go work for Dawie at Kroon airfield, near Hartebeespoortdam... we will see.

What are your plans? GA in Natal seems to be a bit screwed at the moment. Can't believe we are loosing the two biggest airfields in Natal, more or less at the same time!

As I said... many bloodsuckers :roll:

That's great - Why not Aviators Paradise? :cry: I know you guys made a big impression on Dale?

Anyhow, would be great to have you guys up here no matter what field you operate from.

Hi Big D.

Yeah, we like Aviators a lot as well.

Like FF says, Kroon is where we will most probably end up.......

But anything can happen :wink:

We are closing down fast and furious. 3 hangars down, and another 2 starting on Wednesday........

We hope to have everything sold, and be off-site by end May at the very latest.

Will then move our aircraft up - FF and I would like to fly them up 2 at a time (we have 4 trikes plus the dragonfly). Will have to draw matches to see who flies the Dragonfly up.

Will then purchase a 12volt thermic underwear suit and start flying those lekka winter mornings hey :)

Bloody hell, just warning those Kroon students, you guys betta take off work and come fly between 10am and 2pm, as I am not going to do the running nose freezing butt early morning stuff. Really, s'tru, betta believe me............ :wink:

Later,
David Daniel

Yup, I agree, winter flying between 10am and 2pm is great :lol: :lol:

But then, hey, nothing beats an early morning summer or later evening post thunderstorm flight ey? I also enjoy working thermals, so summer gets my 10/10 vote.

Later,

Even though I don't fly (yet :roll: ) it is really sad to see the demise of GA in KZN. I often see trikes going up and down the coast when I am down there on holidays. I was at Zimbali on Friday and noticed a few trikes flying past (it looked like they were flying sideways as the wind on the ground was pretty strong :shock: ) and I wondered if is was FF and Lamercyfly :?:
