Re: Free Flights for Friends

The plane has been on the cover of Microflight Africa and it has been on the cover of SA Pilot. It has had reviews in Pilot's post and in other mags so what plane is it? Get this right and I will go on my knees to Sally (who is organising the SANDTON GIVEAWAYS which this giveaway is a part of) and g...

Re: Resignation as Chairman (Resolved)

Hi, Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I have agreed to differ with some of my closest friends with whom I remain friends. Maybe a concluding observation may cast some light: On a daily basis, we all drive towards oncoming traffic and pass within a metre or two of the approaching car. Road safety ...

Re: Resignation as Chairman (Resolved)

Ok - my telephone critic called again seeking proof! There is no proof of what I believe in, other than to say that when there is, it will be too late.

Re: Resignation as Chairman (Resolved)

I am happy that these matters are debated here as it offers the opportunity for a diversity of opinion. The topic, however, needs to be changed to Service Delivery. I understand that the funding is Government funding that comes from taxpayers - so pilots are funding the CAA, RAASA, SRSA, etc. and th...

Re: Resignation as Chairman (Resolved)

PS - I have just had a phone call impolitely asking if I want to put the flight schools out of business? Just because I believe that a solo pilot needs no license, aircraft inspection and authority to fly does not mean that I think pilots who cannot fly will take to the skies in death traps! What wi...

Re: Resignation as Chairman (Resolved)

This is a blog and normally blog moderators maintain adherence to a discussion on the topic without allowing individuals to get personal. Also, the topic should have relevance - this one should be on governance. It has nothing to do with JB. Relax, I take no offence at the personal attacks other tha...

Re: Resignation as Chairman

Hello, I see that the moderators of Microlighters have made this matter the number one item. It ranks above the welcome to the blog. I agree the matters at hand are important and urge you to consider and comment on my point of view. I have not entered this debate, until now, as I felt that some of t...
