Re: EXCITING NEW FLY IN TO ZULULAND.

Hey Demon, never ever experianced so much stress in my life, I was coerced to advise Battlefields that their dates were out of sync with the flyind season. We had a spate of poor weather for a few years. Being the messanger has its perils. Their reply was brilliant, "please can you pick the dates. "...
