Lamercyfly... I do not even fly yet - but I considered your information valuable as a future pilot. Whether I agree or not, is not the point. As I said, I prefer to err on the side of caution. The Pterodactyl theory also crossed my mind... I think your answers - although direct - carried no aggressi...

hey all! I am up in the BEEG smoke again this week... Flying in (landing a-la Boeing) on Thursday 1t about 14h30... Meeting then, till about 4-5... I will be staying in Alberton again... On Friday, I have a meeting at about 10-11, then free for the rest of the day. Flying out on Sat morning at about...

Yes, HA. I am also wondering about this. That's quite a harsh statement. In Canada, there are MANY whale-watching trips by boat, and they go rather close to them - believe me. So - if THOSE whales run away from boats and THESE run away from planes, they might all now be in Chinese waters? No - I am ...

Hey,

I see you wonder who the guy was, taking photies at Fisantekraal?

It wasn't me.

Stan.

Oh - and don't forget your camera for the pics of the honeys at the beaches!!

Jinne, you're a bunch of moffies! Lambertsbaai? Where's that? Natal? JOKES! Do'worry bru - never EXCLUDED it, my post was an EXAMPLE... Ok - so here's the next question: Who leaves when? If the trip is arranged to "take off" from Gauteng, and go Anti-clockwise, the poor Durban okes will do a loooong...

From one "Recent newbie" to another...

Welcome brother...

Enjoy and I hope you learn as much as I did and do from this forum...

Everyone here is cool - well, almost everyone... The rest are cool hooligans!

As I said - welcome!

Stan

Hey - isn't that the WRONG way around? How about this? We call Gauteng the "Official Start" of the round trip, clockwise around SA... Dunno why, but clock-wise seems "better" to me somwhow... Anyway - We split the county in half... Everyone from East of Mosselbay goes Anti-clockwise, and everyone to...

Ok - here's how I see it... I am currently sorting out my medicla (asthma) crap... When that's done, I am doing my MPL... After that, I am gonna get my first aerie - a trike... I am "into" the Aquila's... So, by August next year, I will be comfy flying, have my MPL and have my trike... Considering t...

I am new here, and have not met either of you... But it feels as if I lost a member of my own family as well... May God embrace her and give her wings to fly with an look over all of us flying now and in the future... Whne are we all gonna have National FLy-in in memory of all the fallen "family mem...

Agh! Here's my FULLER history, as I posted it on AVCom... Perhaps it solicits some wise and wonderful answers and recommendations: Ok - here's an intersting one for all of you... As you may have noticed (in person and on the forums) people who are diagnosed with Asthma tend to deny it and argue as m...

Biggz... No man - no more diving. Haven't been in the water since I did my course, actually. Been too busy. Also, the nature of my work is such that I must be available on phone 24/7... Haven't been unreachable since 2001... I investigate accidents, and there are many in SA, so... Also, I have no mo...

Thanks, Biggs... Actually, as you will see, it's really not the COLD air that's a problem, it seems to be SEA air... I also (now) go walking every morning for about 30 min, and THAT seems to cause no problem. Also, I SCUBA dive - no problem there! It seems that it's only when I get OUT OF BREATH, li...

So, there I was, preparing to become a fly-boy... So, I hopped over to the CAA web-site and downloaded the medical test stuff, "just to see..." I was not worried about hypertention or any of the other "obvious" suff.. And, as I read through it, I came across section "Protocol on Asthma..." As part o...

Hey Axe! I amalso (fairly) new here. I joined BEFORE starting training or buying my Aerie, and I am due to start training in the very near future (next week or so)... I have decided (or was it decided for me?) to do the MPL route, and then "Evolve" onto PPL, if necessary. At this stage (see the unce...
