Latest / Youngest Gyro Pilot

Postby old no 7 » Sun Mar 14, 2010 9:13 pm

Congratulations to Theuns Eloff (Jnr) for qualifying as a gyro pilot on his 17th birthday.
He is the son of Theuns Eloff, the importer & distributor of Autogyro GmbH in South Africa.

I guess they will soon be arguing as to who gets the MT O sport for the weekend while the Calidus sits patiently waiting for final paper-work with CAA.

Baie baie geluk aan altwee die Theunse!!

Dit is 'n groot prestasie om 'n gyro lisensie te verdien - nog meer so as jy maar net 17 jaar oud is. =D*
Welgedaan klein Theuns!

Ek kan glo Theuns Snr is trots. My dogter is besig met haar gyro opleiding (nie deur my nie) en ek sien baie uit na die dag wanneer ons langs mekaar saam kan vlieg in aparte masjiene, dit moet heerlik wees.
