Re: African Pilot, Aeroclub and us "thugs" (NOT)

Thanks John, You are correct; the system will only work when we all take command of our own responsibilities. Payment for membership to the AeCSA and its sections has been an on-going battle for as long as I have been a member (28 years), irrespective of what system has been in place. The responsibi...

Re: African Pilot, Aeroclub and us "thugs" (NOT)

OK now so this thread is getting bogged down into 'I hate Athol' and all sorts of name calling. I would like to apologise to ALL of the Microlight section for making the comment in the African Pilot newsletter two weeks ago and now please let’s move on. You can bash the Aero Club all you want to, bu...

Re: African Pilot, Aeroclub and us "thugs" (NOT)

Hi Kloot Pilot, As John B has pointed out almost every section must belong to a centralised body of some sort and this includes MISASA, Hang Gliders, Parachuting and even Model Aircraft flyers. There many reasons, but the most important are air space coordination, FAI for competitions, South African...

Re: African Pilot, Aeroclub and us "thugs" (NOT)

Hi again everyone, I really don't want to continue this negative spat, but GL has forced me to correct the statement he posted. At no time did I make this statement, because I am aware of the person who did make the statement that GL has quoted. At the time (Tedderfield Shoot Out) I actually reprima...

Re: African Pilot, Aeroclub and us "thugs" (NOT)

Well said Robert. As John says you have a way with words. However, let me remind everyone that it was Robert, together with Stan Oliver and several others who saved the Aero Club from bankruptcy all those years ago after the previous 'director general' had fleeced the AeCSA of its members funds. Rob...

Re: African Pilot, Aeroclub and us "thugs" (NOT)

For those who don't understand the dynamics of producing the Aero Club's year book let me enlighten you. GL has spoken a huge amount of rubbish, because he has never been involved in the production of anything involving the AeCSA and he is making assumptions which are not accurate. The actual printi...

Re: African Pilot, Aeroclub and us "thugs" (NOT)

Wise word Alan Mac and also John, Together we will flourish, but divided we will fail! As far as GL's posting is concerned, I have never read so much rubbish. Clearly he does not understand the dynamics of the Aero Club Year book. And for someone who referres to the Microlight pilots as "sub aviatio...

Re: African Pilot, Aeroclub and us "thugs"

I apologise if I have upset some of my microlight friends and this is my first posting on your forum. To John Boucher and Alan Mac, thank you for listening to some of the issues I have raised and hopefully will now go away. Please allow me to make some corrections to some of the misinformation alrea...
