Microlights in Media

Postby Big-D » Thu Sep 20, 2007 8:43 am

I see the Oct issue of Mens Health magazine has a small write up and pictures of the

- Air Creation Tanarg 912s
- Skyranger

Pretty cool - These just happen to be 2 of my 3 favourite airy's (Yes the other is GT450)

Also, there is a new TV advert for Captain Morgan showing a trike flying low level - Genade, ek hou sommer op Klippies drink en skakel oor Captain toe!! :D

A few moons ago there was a full write up on Macfee's Canyon Riders in Popular Mechanics. They fly the Tanarg "kite wing".

Landrovers
Always travels in pairs, dont't leak oil just marking they're territory.
Drink rum as the colour reminds them to repair the oil leaks and "gooi olie" tommorrow.

ok enough. Let's talk flying ,at least you can reach far of places.

cheers
