THE MICROLAND THREAD..."Home of the Tailwinds"

[BeanCounter]

Faizel, Paul, Anthony - thanks for a great flight to Heidelberg this morning, smooth as silk
Holding thumbs for good WX for the weekend

PS: Just planting the seed - can't we hold the June ML braai here? viewtopic.php?f=5&t=20538

Thanks guys. Pitty my coffee was a write off. Thanks for the cup from yours Jaco. Total flying time was almost 2 hrs. Only got to work at 9...oops...there were some angry faces. Believe Faizel only got in at 9h30....oops deluxe And now that I have a hand full of spare springs, they aren't breaking any more. Liberal silicone rubber and the right material spring is most probably why they are lasting. 2 spares are in my seat pouch...just in case.

Ek gaan weer boss toe van Frydag tot Dinsdag. So, see all the Tailwinds next week sometime. If you go to Steve's place this weekend....enjoy...and pse do as we discussed at the braai.

Fly safe

If I sleep at the office the next 2 nights I might make Friday morning, but don't wait for me Faiz

Steve Bosch has kindly offered (again) that we fly in to his strip on Saturday morning
He's asked for an indication of numbers, so let me know who's coming along? I'll ask the Rhino Horns as well

35 Miles Fiz? You sure chom? The co ords on that site put the main gate at

S 24 52' 59,46"
E 27 50'45.78"

...That's about 82 Miles from FABA? (flying dog leg around the rest area) No mention of a runway either and none visible on Google? KunKuru has one close by though...

Sibaka Lodge is closer (and prob cheaper)...and the Prinsloo's will treat you like royalty. May even have space in his hanger for the trike! He will be the "moer in" with you okes if you fly over his lodge to get to another one....

When are you wanting to go? Francios has invited you to the St Paddy's Fly in already. (Mar 16th)

Looks like fun, I wish I could go.
