Hi every one!

With my "working away" I have also fallen behind and has not been up for quite some time :oops: For the few lessons I had with Mervin "check your clips or you'll die" I was doin' well, I think :lol:

Thing is Sky Riders is closing for Dec and I was hoping to fly in Dec again.....

Question, is there someone (instructor) who will be available for Dec at Microland? I have my own Aquilla II , but its not registered, yet. :(

I'll be in SA from around the 17th Dec 09 till the 3rd Jan 09

Any Offers?

Please

Amenio

Hey guys well this year looks like its going to be a great one.
I am considering moving from Microland to Aero 57 only because its closer to home for me,not that there is anything wrong with the guys at Microland they brilliant vhpy .
Does anyone else fly there?
All i have to do now is get my logg book and student file from Mervin and the guys and ill be back up and flying as fast as i can. (**)
I have done 8hrs with Microland but i a guessing because i have not flown for a good couple of months i might just have to re-cap for an hour or two just to get my bearings again.
Well i am super excited to start again and cant wait,this is the year when i finish my MPL
And thanks to everyone for the great support and motivation.

Its been 5 yrs since i last flew and stopped on 8 hrs, today i flew again!! There is no words to decribe how much i missed this. vhpy vhpy Thanks to Mervin for an awesome session the weather was perfect today.
We re-capped on almost everything i had learned when i stopped with my training, i tell you what once i had been remined on what to do and how everything works things slowly started coming back to me again, its like riding a bicycle!!

So looking forward to next week Monday... (^^)

Well done, welcome back!

Stefan and I have just bought TC's aquilla and will be hangering at ML. Stefan's licence lapsed also about 5 years ago so he will be joining you in the circuit shortly.... (^^)

Enjoy!

Yes its Awesome. I wrote a story about my wish to fly and sent it to the microflight africa magazine. Alan liked the story an is placing it in the mag due for release this november. Its titled "wish apon a blue winter sky" one just has to make it happen. Good luck be with you to complete what you have started.
