I am off for a couple of weeks holiday, the only flying I will be doing is the fish-in-a-tin type, courtesy of SAA. Had a nice flip this morning:

Back, from holiday and first chance to fly this morning. Lovely weather at Aurora. After flying this morning, I heard some trikes overhead and drove back to the airfield, where Jan Grotepas landed - they were on their way back from Lamberts Bay, and was stopping over for lunch at Helmut's.

The fynbos is almost taking over the runway - I will ask the town council to trim it a bit this week.

6 October 2008. Latest log put on http://www.zu-dve.com. I was hoping to get close, not too close to the American Canoe in the bay, but the wind kept me at a distance.

I was at Aurora the weekend, a bit too windy for a long flip, but had some fun nevertheless. The town council cut the runway for me this week, but the centre is still overgrown. The chaps I took for flips sounded as if they are now personally going to groom the runway...

With these 3 and Mr. Dada, you sure are making some nice friends out there. I might even be slightly jeolous!!

Gert.
Have not been in the air for almost three weeks now, starting to get the DT’s.
After getting your SMS early Saturday---------made me jealous as well.
To make matters worse- went to the Brazen Head for lunch and some oak in a red GT 450 comes flying past, really putting salt in the wound!!!!!!!!!
Hope to see you this coming weekend.
Graham.

I must say, the open mic session was really special. Hope we can do it soon again.
