The nostalgia Pics of the early years bring back some memories.

Can vividly remember Johann flying the Rallye 3B and the Eagle.

Those were the days.......

Kind regards,

Lovely site. Seeing that Johann survived those early primitive contraptions (one only with a 10 hp motor) he must be a good pilot!

Johann is one of those guys that changes your life when you train with him. I really miss the "manne van Saldanha".

RE: SALDANHA BAY FLY-IN


West Coat Flying Training Centre, Johan Froneman and the West Coast Flying Club are inviting all aviators both near and far to join us for a get-together at Saldanha Bay airport, for the long weekend of 13-16 June 2008.

An ATC exercise has been arranged for Saturday morning to help sharpen our radio skills and to expose us green pilots to the goings on at a controlled air port. The preliminary program will be as follows:
1. Fly in on Friday Afternoon
2. Braai Friday Evening ( Depending on Pietie and Anton)
3. Breakfast / Fly-in
4. Pilot’s briefing at 10H00
5. Short cross country and Radio exercise
6. Spitbraai & social
7. Breakfast Sunday Morning
8. Fly home

The more planes we have, the more realistic our airport scenario will be, so join us for this really educational event.

A hanger will be available for those wishing to camp out or alternatively contact details for local guest houses are attached.

Please indicate to us before Friday 6 June 2008 whether you will be joining us and which meals we must cater for you. The prices for meals and contact details are as follows:

I was unable to flyin but I was there anyway. Drove up from Cape Town. Fantastic new clubhouse. Johan is a true gentleman and has been a privilage to have learnt to fly with him both trikes and 3 axis. If a spoon had wings he could fly it! For people wanting to learn to fly or do a conversion I endorse his school :!: :!: :wink:
