Amongst other things....Dionne is an awesome photographer (^^)

Reasonably low over the beach in Mozambique. Indelible moments...every moment flying is a memory in the making...wish... wish ....flying is a dream (-)

And this one...

Inhambane bay, 800ft AGL & ASL..with Barra Lodge and Witsand in the background. That was a dream for me and I made it come true. vhpy Expensive dream but worth it. vhpy

I will do a trip like that again without any hesitation... (**)

The reflections are the clouds and there is an Arab dow in the centre..to the 1 o-clock there are some flamingoes..what a sight..

haha yeah it's awesome, only problem is i'll freak out if i have to fly without it, you become very reliant on it, at least i have my iPhone (also with ANP) and Garmin as backup...

Tailwinds, WX prediction until Sunday looks good. Anyone for a flight this week, every morning around 6am?

Gues what my next phone will have to be. Man, in your flight log it gives you flight time & and flight and number of landings and it even puts in the airfields you took of from and landed at, sommer automatically ek sê. (^^) If I accidentally took off without it I would go back to fetch it. ##

Dionne and myself will be there. WX looks fantastic this whole week. This morning felt like sitting in the lounge soffa. Only saw Fanie and, of course, Faizel. Hope you were in time for your meeting Faiz. ##

It is called an autopilot and I wouldn't mind one for those long cross country flights. (!!) Not available for WCM. ##

From home, Dionne watched my flight this morning and she could tell me more about it than what I knew...what a safety feature (^^)

Bundy, how many are comming to Boshcamp? We will be there (!!)

I'm jealous Paul! Instead of flying I had a 6AM horse riding lesson this morning (**) The stuff we'll do for a woman...
Also learned a microlight has nothing on a horse for turbulence :lol:
