Orange River Odyssey

The Gyro fraternity had spoken. Please would all pilots report in at Gariep Dam over the weekend of 20/21 May 2011 in an attempt to break the world record for the most gyros ever gathered together in one place at one time. My friend and fellow pilot, Dave Lehr, suggested that we fly to Gariep (from ...

Re: Anton`s fly-in at Kobee-T , 16 April 2011

Learjet and myself flew up. We left early and the wind was not too bad. Wind at Kobee-T was directly across the runway but not unmanageable, even one guy on a trike arrived. Gathering was great and the brekkie superb! Flight back took a while but was not bumpy at all and we popped in at Morningstar ...

Re: Happy Birthday Len Klopper

Happy Happy, Len... sounds like you had some great flying today! (Had some mates diving at Maasbaai who reported 3 gyros overhead, including 1 side by side enclosed white gyro low-level along the coast... gotta be you?)

Blouberg Sunset Flip

Sunday evening was perfect flying weather. I've been wanting to get some sunset images of the Blouberg coastline for some time and decided to beg a flight from Learjet. We had a great flight and the light was perfect for image making. We are so privileged to be able to fly over the Cape coastline an...

A friend of mine who is an underwater photographer for National Geographic has just arrived in Cape Town for a shoot on Southern Right & Humpback whales. It is late in the season and many of the whales have already left for their long migration down south. We have what is probably the only permit ou...

Re: Sycamore Gyro for SALE

I had a flight lesson this morning with my gyro instructor. I told him about this bargain Sycamore I'd seen advertised on the forum. It was the strangest thing, but when I mentioned the registration of the gyro in question his face turned a funny shade of purple and he looked a little dangerous for ...

Re: Another Proud Gyronaut Solo in the Western Cape

Thanks very much guys... and of course to Len & Louis. As a newcomer with no previous flight experience I must say that I think the vibe on this forum and within the SA Gyro community in general is tremendous. I look forward to my continued education and to meeting some of you in the not too distant...
