Who was the lucky pilot who flew the Atlantic seaboard today at 7am. Jeepers you made me "lus". It was an absolute peach of a Cape day!

Any ideas of colours of wing? I have done it once in my Challenger, had to climb to 2500ft AMSL to ensure sufficient gliding distance in case of engine problems. I flew around Lions head before heading back to Morning Star via the coast. This is quite risky as there aren't decent landing areas. I won't do it again

No Morph, didn't see the colour of the wing as I was racing to get to the Table Bay hotel for a brekkie presentation, so just caught a glimpse of the trike at about 700' passing Signal Hill and out over the bay travelling S/E.

Morph, have Demon's blessed calenders landed at Morning Star yet? I am due to pass there on Saturday en route to Bulshoek Dam.
