Oh how I wish I could join you...

Am sitting on the family farm, studying for my PPL instructor exams tomorrow. Can just about see Rietfontein from here.

I am going to be very jealous when you fly past.

The last time I flew a trike was about 2 weeks ago, on the 21st of April, when I did the last flight test for our last student and last official flight from La Mercy Flight Park

[Fairy Flycatcher]

so why dont you come along

Still a bit under-prepared for the exam tomorrow

Would have been great though

Heard Big G on Chat frew and flew with 2 yeloow Gyro's over the Dam late this arvie. Was awesome flying WX.... Couple trikes in air at Micro and Petit and a Samba in circuit at Babs...

Smoke in the East Ront is near sundown. Was almost IF on short finals at FABB

[RV4ker (RIP)]

Heard Grant (referred to as Big G) talking to the Yellow Egg beaters on Rietties chat freq just after they took off at FAKR at around 16.20ish... Never heard KWK on Spec rules or chat freq. Did try a call on it, but nada, so assumed you out of radio range Never heard you calling us, but the WX so so awesome that everyone who had access to an aerie was in the air (or sounded like it). I don't think there were many transmissions that were not double/tripple transmissions...

Went FABB RA RD FAGC HBV Coves at 16.10 and back via Pinedene at 17.15. Sorry I missed you?

Seems I just missed you at FABB. Did circuits - and messed up some landings - until 15:15. Would have been cool to meet someone from the forum in the air.

Next Sunday between 9:00 and 11:00 - some training at FABB and maybe in the GFA south of Ergo. On the ground in time for a nice lunch with mom afterwards.

Look out for CFW if anyone in the area.

Brakkies was very popular on Sun arvie. We were no. 6 for take off and there were 2 in circuit. Couple Gyro's, 140's, Jabi 450 and a lovely Piper pacer...

Doubt very much I be flying next Sunday

Here is the Garmin trip log of my Funday flight
Nice big cabbage patch

Hi Demon, for interest sake - what was the total flying time for the route would like to a calculation and etimate on my cruising speed

[cobra]

hi cobra
from the gps- total time 2.2 hours
total distance 176 miles = 80 mph average

Thank Demon the same route would have taken me 3 hours 20 min

AWESOME performance heard you call before changing to Kittyhawk yesterday, at that speed I had no time to even say hello next moment you passed Pinedene.

The problem with a GT450, you always fly alone as no one else will keep up, luckily the GT450 crowd is growing

What a glorious Funday - that is exactly how one should spend a Sunday.

Great pix Demon. :D

Nice doing some armchair flying while looking at all the pix.
