[skydancer]

Well,maybe we wont have a proper or no airshow this year guys,the weather is bad,rain and cloud at 200ft,with scattered CB reported at 1500ft.Im going to give it a miss this year.....

[Nkwazi]

Just heard on the news that the show has been cancelled

[3wheels]

What a pity
Popped in earlier and the only action was in the pub

[ZS-NEL]

No Flying...A Big Bang...Snake Team leaving...and Beers!!!!

[skydancer]

Wow,never expected the show to be this bad,but the weather certainly done his job today Well,maybe next year,im planning on going to the AAD this year at Ysterplaat AFB.Who's going???

[Lesser_spotted_owl]

pity about the weather, really wanted to go, was getting hopeful everytime i saw a bit of blue sky ( and it was in short supply), put on the old receiver and heard rand tower telling someone routing from Panorama that show was cancelled,

anyway, going to Henley next week, lets hope for good weather then!

[skydancer]

Yeah I noticed someblue patches of blue sky too,and just after getting to enthusiastic,clouds moved in..... Oh well,but your right,lets look forward to much better weather this coming weekend,need to do a solo cross country flight,mine was cancelled on Saturday ...due to weather.

Howzit Owl,

Delighted to see you're coming to Henley on Saturday for our Airshow. For those who missed out on seeing the Snake Team in action due to bad weather on Sunday...be sure not to miss the Henley Aero Modelers Airshow this Saturday. I once again want to thank Jay and the guys for coming to the party; we can not wait to see you in action!!!

Hi there Mike,where is the model airshow taking place exactly?Im flying on Saturday,my 1st solo short nav from Rand.

[Tailspin]

I was at rand from about 6:30 am and the WX sucked.
Decided at about 10am to go home and get warm
hope that next year the WX holds out.

Hi Skydancer, we are located about 10nm south of Circus & Klip airfields, just to the north of Henley airfield. Check out our website- www.henleyaeromodelers.com for gps coordinates. Good luck with the xcountry, hope to see you at the Airshow.
Cheers,
Mike.

Hiya Mike,

We need to put some racing stripes or something on white lightening, i must have stood looking at the Cobra in the hanger for 5 minutes before i realised that it wasn't ours , sexy aerie though!

See you saturday,
