Thanks to everyone who confirmed they are flying in on Saturday morning. Breakfast will be served from 7 to 8:30am after which we need to get ready for the main airshow. Boerewors rolls & hamburgers will be available from 9am. R20 per plane, R30 per breakfast and you get a compilmentary hat. I'll have to close this invite at 3pm this afternoon, we have limited space available with this happing in parallel with the airshow and would like to fix numbers today. Guys wanting to fly in on short notice can land at Henley (Midvaal) Airfield, just 3km up the road. We'll try to arrange for transport from there to the airshow, give me a call to make arrangements. I'll post final details and confirmed numbers this afternoon at 3pm.

Looking forward to meet all of you!
(^^)
Mike.

Hi Skinner

Would love to join for breakfeast. 8)

One question: Will one be able to take off through the show to head home - say round 11:00 - 11:30 ? :oops: I have other commitments, but will love to stay for part of the show. If it's a problem I'll play vulture - eat and leave. :wink:

Currently only one breakfeast - still waiting for pax confirmation :oops:

Glenn - what time you wanna leave Kitty ?

P.S. What is the intended lenght of the graded runway - any obstructions ?

Hi FZI,

I'll make a plan to get you in the pits & close to the runway for photo's, having a yellow vest has it's perks!
Hi Ldel,
Main runway will only be available until 8:45am, you can make use of the dirt runway to leave, just need to coordinate as we don't want a jet going trough your rotor!
Really looking forward to this!
