Microlight hire and fly Langebaan W-cape

Postby Triker » Sun Dec 16, 2012 8:33 am

Good morning fellow aviators.

Like so many other people, I will also be going down to the West coast for a week or two. Are there any hire and fly options close to Langebaan/Yzerfontein where i can satisfy my lifelong dream to fly along the coastline. Perhaps somebody knows of some pilot with a vacant seat in the mood and in dire need for some aviation talk whilst flying along the shores vhpy ?

I dont want to sound like a beggar and therefore most willing to pay any fees
. My Cobra slangetjie gaan vir `n rukkie rus in die hangar maar sy baas gaan uitgehonger wees vir vlieg na al die dae ##


Any contact info will be appreciated.
I will also be in Belville, Capetown for a couple of days, should someone also know of a opportunity thereabouts.
(!!)

Cheers

Grumpy, a handthrottle only and no breaks, by the looks of it. So custom made, if you know what I mean.
