Enjoy the flight.... :wink:
Thanks, I am sorted out right now, only last things I have to do, test flights, promo flights etc., and wait for some papers -0<

Might even have to fly back myself again, because of the SAA strike, not that I fly them, but I guess the other flight will be full :wink:

Now off to RP, T/O at SR :wink:

Right, let's put an end to this right now -xX -xX -xX

All those who get the opportunity to (or in the case of lamercyfly get paid) fly during the week are now banned from reporting this on this Forum. Yep, you heard me right BANNED!

It is totally unfair of you to report such nonsense when us mere mortals are stuck behind a desk in an airconditioned office trying to make small talk (talk that procludes anything aviation is considered small talk) to work colleagues, whilst staring out of the window at the big blue windless sky :mrgreen:

I think that puts an end to that now.

Thank you :D :D :twisted:

It's so windy here in CT you get up in the air whenever the oppotunity presents itself and go and look at the glorious mountains and sea and babes on the beach and .................

Worst part of being an "Oupa" - I missed the grandkids so much we went down to them at Ramsgate for the weekend (from Klerksdorp). Saw the grandkids but did no flying and the weather there was puuurrrfect.

Did see Bravo India Whiskey flying a lot. Is he on the group? After all the low flying problems he flew real high and safe. The view from up there must have been great.

Now to rub it in...

In KZN, at least when you are 20nm inland, the weather is near perfect all year round. In the summers we can fly at 5:30am and again at 5:30pm and still have plenty of light. In winter, we never reach those freezing temperatures that the rest of the country has to deal with and again the weather allows many hours of flying.

The choice is:- Wine or Weather?

I tried smoking it but it just gave me an allergy and tastes like cows#$t. I think the dudes in DBN have better poison than we do. puff . I also tried to sniff coke but it kept on running off the mirror :shock:

Oh well, back to the wine then, but not before going for a flight this afternoon :P

BTW Wart, summer time the sun sets here at 20h30. Talk about long beautiful sunsets and 3 hours of flying time after work :D
