Friday is Flyday

[afskies scribe]

Fab Flyday flying backseat yesterday arvie with Demon & Big-G to visit Mooinooi
Headed back over Aeroden & Av Paradise for Demon's expert "runway inspections" :D
Joined Jacques in his magni-ficent gotta-be-yellow Magni en route there
Flew back in a neat gaggle with Rietfontein mates Mario & Beetlejuice
Checked out the western shores of Harties but not much action there
Thanks guys for another perfect Flyday

Took off Fri afternoon, Wx was clear and smooth but EGT's running very high - headed back to land - Trevor Davies played around with the engine but I did not get time to test it as dark was coming in -

What time were you guys flying on Friday?

Cos it was pretty bumpy out of Circus in the afternoon, very entertaining for a student pilot!

You should have been flying with us at AP Saturday at 1 pm - My hands have still not released the "papegaai grip"

Tel me about it returned from Wigwam (Rustenburg) to Microland on Saterday around 12:00 - tumble-dryer se moses :D hierdie papegaai het geen grip gehad nie

BD pics taken on the way there, sure I heard you at 0745 flying on the western side of Harties

Nice pics - Yip was me checking out the balloons early that morning - From there Roodekoppies, Breakfast at Kokeriba, Vaalkop, Past Pilanesburg west of Rustenburg - Shaky, shaky and home again. Had no lift flying at 12h30 - Except for thermals, Charlie Whiskey said same - You experience the same Cobra?


Cheers

The thermals at Magalies was awsome, found myself with legs hanging over the bar and still climb 900ft/min almost checked in with JS Approach on 124.50 for a clearance to enter the TMA

The stretch between harties and home was even worse this time turbulance

Breakfast at Kokeriba

Kokeriba

[Lesser_spotted_owl]

We took off at 15h15 and landed at 16h15,

however, yesterday afternoon was just perfect up there :D

Can't wait for next weekend, hoping for more of the same

[Big-D]

Kokeriba

Indeed - Although it is now known as Kakariba by the Kroon and FAAP guys as everyone always has to make a "pitstop" there

Holiday resort with runway and excellent breakfast for R40

Don't have co-ords but easy - If at Roodekoppies line up the dam wall from west to east (not allowed to land there of course ) now carry on and fly a little to the left (North) and you will see the runway 3 miles away from the dam

It is now our regular Saturday breakfast spot

Anybody gonna be flying this afternoon

[Bacardi]

Looks a bit breezy out Harties way, but I have two intro's coming from the Vuildriehoek, so will have to pucker my zorst and act brave.

[Tailspin]

Wind reads at about 14.5kts out Lanseria way, if all go's well i will be flying from Aero 57 to Crosswinds via Riet so hope WX holds and all go's well.
