Garmin 296 loan please?

[Gyronaut]

Would anyone consider lending me their Garmin 296 from this coming Wednesday (15th) until Tuesday (21st) please?

I plan to fly OzGyro's machine from FABB to Alldays and his 296 has gone on the blink. His machine has the mount, antennae etc for a 296 already so that will be easiest.

Please let me know and I promise to take good care of it.

Dink jy nie jy moet ons wys dat jy nog met n kaart kan vlieg nie.

Hi Len

I have one you can borrow. It is shy of the last set of updates (last year I think) but works well.

You will need to get it from Sandton though.

Hi All

Llewellyn I am more than willing to come and pick it up on Len's behalf if your Ok with that?, It will also need the onboard/inbuilt antenna as well.
Let me know what you think, PM me your my details and I can organise to collect during the this week.

Regards
Darren

Thanks Guys,

um..,, by the way, I grew up in that area and I assure you I can find my way to FAPI and then from there to Louis Trichard, over the mountain to Musina (In my day Messina). Without a GPS or a map, trust me... what worries me is the FAJS Buffer Zone, PTA GF2, Makhado Airspaces etc, which I know nothing about. (Since I haven't flown there in 20 years). Any heads-up info & frequencies will be greatly appreciated.

BY THE WAY... Llewellyn mate, you offered to fetch me from ORT, so just bring it along... no?

PS, I arrive at ORT on Thursday Morning at 8:15 with 1Time, if you (Llewellyn) can't fetch me to FABB then I will take a taxi.

I plan to make final arrangements in the coming week but you guys are too quick for me...

Thanks for your assistance!

Soos ek gese het, ek vlie daai roete maklik sonder 'n kaart maar wie weet wie ek gaan opgewonde maak in die proses nie?
Ek dink nie hulle sal my afskiet nie... ons lugmag hettie meer genoeg goeters om dit mee te doen nie...

Wil maar net binne die reels bly sover moontlik

Hi All

Len, I will arrange with Llewellyn to collect the 296 for you this week. I can also collect you from OR Tambo and take you straight to Brakpan, I had planned meeting you out at Brakpan anyways, as I still need to refuel ZU-DSA and get you that spare jerrycan sorted. Will give you a call today to discuss.

Cheers
Darren

Ag ou Len , ek dink almal besef jy is heel bevoeg om so iets aan te pak sonder n kaart. Ek was net n bietjie lus om k@k te praat met die diere.

And Darren , sorry about the afrikaans . I am just pulling Lens leg a bit .

Looking forward seeing you guys in Alldays. If you cant find me , i will be in the pub.

[Gyronaut]

Thanks Darren, that sounds like the easiest plan then. Lets make it 8:45 at ORTIA on Thursday 16th then, wherever is easiest for you (International drop 'n go?). I appreciate all your effort.

Bonzai, I'll see you in the pub at Alldays!
Llewellyn, I look forward to buying you a drink for the loan of the GPS. Thanks.
