[Junkie]

Goood one jcvb - C205 your a good sport

[FAWGie]

JCVB...why is the heli pilot trying so hard to see behind him? Don't the pilot's usually look out front?

[RV4ker (RIP)]

Think this would be great time to make woer woer fly backwards and look where you going

Just landed from 30min of bliss. :D :D :D :D

Battling to wipe the grin off my face at the moment.

Weather is not great. SW 5-10, which is a bumpy wind no matter how light. Decided to do some flying a bit in-land for a change. If I don't see the beach for a while I'll be OK :D

I knew I couldn't stay out the sky for too long, and because I knew I'd be a bit nervous about turbulence after Friday, thought today was the day. Now you get turbulence and tUrbULeNcE, and I was pleasantly surprised that I am still comfortable with the former. :D :D

Just got back from a 2hour trip around the Northern Parts of the Vaal dam... Enjoyed the flying so much decided to zoot out to the Ergo slimes dam when we got back...

Then a traditional wimpy brekkie!

I think it was one of those great flying afternoons in Natal. Flew about 1hour in lovely conditions this evening, met kb at Ballito, and one of our old students came for a visit. He left Marble Hall near Warmbaths this morning, and landed when the sun was just about to set.

We needed a SkyRanger to train a new students, and our new one is running a bit late , so Riaan was kind enough to hire his SkyRanger back to us, and deliver it! He qualified in April, does not even 100 hours yet, but zooting all around the country! Now that's flying! :D

Here is a photo of his grin when he landed just after 5pm.

A peaceful 1.3hrs out to Midvaal, then over to HGV and back to Klippies for some runway hugging low passes and simulated engine outs! Had a GREAT afternoon

[Junkie]

An hour in the BB before Sunset saw off the work week blues in no time flat.

ianrw... I plugged me ipod into my Buzzcom unit but at cruise speed the engine noise cuts the MP3 playback out and the comm stays permanently on even with the squelch all the way down... Nice on the ground though

Must admit havnt tried it, but Peter How modified my Buzcomm unit to work with the Yaesu radio, so hope it will be ok" Be a darned shame if it doesnt
Let you know

Just landed (11:30) after doing 2 para drops from a trike. Getting a bit thermic , but staying in the thermals for the climb helped a hell of a lot. 6min 25sec to 4200' AGL , from start-up Climbing off the clock at least twice :D :D :D :D

Descending: alternating steep turns left and right (Aquilla I wing, nice and stable, usually battle to loose height) Down in 4 min. Flew into thermal on finals, gained 100' on idle Go around, put it down second time perfectly!

Man I love my life when the Big Skygod is good to us :D

[DarkHelmet]

This morning a flip to Vereeniging, landed on the tar there... My wingman had comm hassle, did not know ATC only starts at 8... He made a u-turn and had me stressing all the way back from there!

Then off to a 4x4 Intro course... GULP...

[Cloud Warrior]

Rushed through to Saldanha on Saturday morning with all my stuff packed for the Vredendal Fly-in. Arrived to find only one other trike pilot there who had decided not to go due to bad weather predicted for today which would have made it impossible for us to get back. $@#$@#$@#! foiled again by the skygods! Obviously need to offer up more virgins or something!

[Junkie]

Obviously need to offer up more virgins or something!

seeing as your offering C.W - there are a few of us chosen DIVINE ones around that you can send all yer virgins too.. (can you take orders)


We gaurantee excellent results and sometimes we fix the wx too



arrrgghhh ..... im in PE and its looking rather bleak here too - maybe us chosen ones should also take to making a few selected offerings (like the missus) snigger !!
