Re: new year aviation tradition, do you have one?

:shock: :shock: :shock: Gelukkig het jy die pilot en die brandstoftenk mis geskiet, en ek kon dit veilig maak tot in die hangar! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: I heard the noise but did not see the missing parts of the aircraft. The landing was a bit rough on one main plus tail wheel but to taxi was worse ...

new year aviation tradition, do you have one?

What a gorgeous morning it was! vhpy As usual, I try to be the first traffic out of Wonderboom on the first day of the year. Managed to do it for several years now. I was a bit late today, only opened the hangar doors at 06H30B. Enjoyed a very quiet flight, nobody on the radio. Even the tower was qu...

Re: what weather website do you use?

yr.no works well, but as was mentioned on some post in the past, they use a different mathematical model as our Weathersa. I use weathersa free general public site to get an idea of morning and afternoon conditions. Then weatherphotos.co.za to see a satelite picture at different times as well as the...

Re: THABAZIMBI BREAKFAST FLY-IN

Landings, where people are watching, are seldom good.This morning’s landing was one of THOSE scary ones! :shock: :wink: We made it to the parking without having to repair anything and strolled to the clubhouse, only to find other pilots who also arrived on the planet in a not-the-usual-way! :lol: Pe...

Re: THABAZIMBI BREAKFAST FLY-IN

Die weer??? as mens nie wil lieg nie moet mens nie die weer voorspel nie! Die manne (en vroue) daar by die weerkantore gebruik fancy wiskundige modelle en rekenaars (groter as my selfoon) om mee te voorspel en hulle kan nie 100% waarborg dat hulle reg sal wees nie, maar binne 'n dag of twee is hulle...

Re: THABAZIMBI BREAKFAST FLY-IN

On the map I see Kromdraai, Liverpool and Mawala south of Thaba, and Rooiberg to the south-east. Where is Koedoeskop please? I do not fly with a fancy, up to date, moving map, Google Earth activated, weather overlay GPS which tells me where to go. Prefer to see it on the paper map. :wink: :lol: :lol...

Re: THABAZIMBI BREAKFAST FLY-IN

Hi Wolfman,

Please post a few pictures, Thaba airfield as well as Koedoeskop runway, so we can know what to look out for. Are there any restricted or dangerous areas like open cast mines and anti-aircraft gun locations? :wink:

Re: My Fourth Home build (Citabria rebuild)

Hi Goose, welkom terug. (^^)

Jy moet rooi vlaggies aan die draad hang wat oor die aanloopbaan gespan is! (Die besoekers mag dan dalk ook dink dis 'n skietbaan en meer versigtig wees :shock: )

Ek het darem gewaai toe ek oorvlieg! :lol:

Re: My Fourth Home build (Citabria rebuild)

:shock: Jy beter gou maak en als aanmekaar sit! Oor paar maande gaan jy nightshift werk, dan gaan staan al die projekte en jy sal skaars kans kry om met die K7 om die DC6 te vlieg! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
