Hi folk...

Any microlighters in Bethlehem?

Please either call me on 084 602 3455 or PM me. I need a little help.

This only applies today, Wednesday 19 December.....

Thanks.

David

Hi Dave, I've left a message on the cell of one of our microlighting doctors who is based in Bethlehem. He's busy operating but will call me back within the next 15 min & I'll put him in touch with you.

Ok David, plan B: I've called Christo Boshoff in the meantime. He's not far from the a'field and is on his way to you right away.

David don't tell me you need an emergency operation in Bethlehem.

Nee Bennie my Maatjie, it's just that David couldn't make it over the escarpment so he's grounded in Bethlehem & would love to be able to go and have a shower & freshen up somewhere

& without a moment's hesitation Christo has kindly offered to go & help him

:D
Thanks Christo

Yo Trix., you are a star....... delivered on time:):)...

Christo has already met me, and he and his wife have offered me dinner and a shower, and if I want, overnight accomodation...

Is'nt that great hey.......

Allways said "Flying around the country with a microlight is 'not about making deadlines, but about making friends'

On Monday I was stuck in Kimberley (burnt out fuel pump).... within 5 minutes of landing, I had a lock-up hangar, a choice of overnight accomodation, a free vehicle to use, and an appointment with Charles(a fellow microlighter) who came to my rescue. He worked with me on TUG for no less than 3 hours, sorting all the problems, for FREE!! I ended up taking Johan Jooste's offer of accomodation in his student accomodation attatched to his beautiful hangar....all 'gratis, free, haai-kona mali, luto emali'....and then another pilot, also Johan, drove me to his home and gave me the keys to a spare car, full tank of gas, and said "just leave the keys on the sunvisor, and we will collect it tomorrow".

How's zat. What a great bunch of guys at Kimberley.....

Anyway, as far as this post goes, problem in Bethlehem solved, subject closed.......

Cheers.

I can only echo dave's sentiments. Last week i got plenty support from apparent "strangers".

Nice one.
