Re: The Microland Files "Episode 5" Oct 5th 582 Stripshow!

Nicow, ek gaan 'n "dogleg" vlieg Rust de Winter se kant toe - ek behoort jou daar rond te ontmoet. Bundy - I am also going to need fuel cans to go and fill up. Nicow, die garage is naby - ons moet net kanne reel - en 'n lift Bapsfontein toe. :?:

Re: The Microland Files "Episode 5" Oct 5th 582 Stripshow!

Weather looks good so far - and a spot has opened up on the Potties Patrollie booking, so I guess I might see you? I'll need a place to crash though Saturday night, and someone to drive me to ML Sunday morning EARLY? :roll: Because there is NO way that I am not having a few beers on Saturday with my...

Re: Africa Cup 2013

I saw a great time being had by the many who attended. Some flew in, some trailered in, some just drove in. Some stayed home. People exercised their choices..... (**)

Re: Africa Cup 2013

Alas you guys are right... It is as I feared the sky doesn't look happy, I guess I knew that else I wouldn't have been so hesitant. This is the damn hardest part of being a pilot, saying No-Go. A wise man once told me, a real pilot uses his knowledge to avoid using his skill (which in my opinion I ...

Re: Africa Cup 2013

Dishie and Nkwazi - THANKS dudes. Remember guys - this is NOT your 50 mile "there and back" to your local landmark like Cullinan or Bronkies dam. This is a SERIOUS X country involving huge climb outs - last year going there I only felt comfortable over the Winterveld Mountains once I reached 11000 f...

Re: Africa Cup 2013

Dudes - my personal call is made. I cannot come through Friday morning - Friday is "cut-off" for commission earners in my region (earlier due to the "long weekend") - and they will NOT be impressed if they lose out on income because I was in the sky all day! :mrgreen: (No amount of flying is worth t...

Re: Africa Cup 2013

Cold fronts is NEVER good news - even up here in the north. It normally brings relatively strong West to North West winds over the interior as air is sucked towards the low pressure system as it rotates east: - on your tail as you cross the mountains..we all know tailwinds and mountains in front is ...

Cobra backseat "cargo bay"

The one thing that have been frustating me with the Witchy Woman, is that her backseat is less versatile than that of Geelkerneels - because it is molded. Try as you will, you cannot make a jerry can stand upright on it. It's just akward. On Geelkerneels, I used to strap in two 25 litre plastic jerr...

Re: Africa Cup 2013

Dawid - land op Arnot kragstasie se baan (teer). Ek het laasjaar daar geland toe ek van Numbi af Standerton toe is. En dan kan jy weer optop by Kwena dam as jy rerig moet - maar onthou net dan moet jy weer vreeslik klim uit die gat uit om oor die berge te kom.

Re: Africa Cup 2013

This biker "thug" is "slingering" around at a rally, bike's key in hand. He keeps asking people whether they have seen his bike. One Fellow "thug" tries to help and asks him: "Where did you last see your bike?" He answers: " At the end of my key here", as he pokes the empty air in front of him with ...
