Thunderboy, I stay down the road from Aero 57 and even closer to Rietfontein.

I can't really complain, seeing that I try to get 2 hours of flying a week vhpy

At least this thread is a motivation..

Demon, watch out for Snoopy (Wayne Bond) at Rietfontein today. He is up doing a GT4450 conversion and will be back at your patch around lunch-time. He might join you for Flyday!!

If you drop a beagle from 1500ft agl do they fly :?: :? :roll:

Saturday is driveday......... :(

Actually MrsMorph is up in Josy for the weekend, :lol: :lol: :lol: 8)

Ranger, Gadget, Tsotsi and myself are delivering BosBefokker to SuperBoet in Loeries on Sat. Gadget is driving us in his Gadgetmobile.

Tsotsi has a little "cottage" on the beach at Langebaan and we are going to spend a nice quiet evening there, dicussing fiscal policy and the finer techniques of basket weaving, whilst imbibing on a small quantity of alcoholically enhanced liquid. I understand Tsotsi has a masters degree in cremation over an open fire, so we might throw a ox on two in the flames and have a muted reserved service.

Later
