Gyro Fly-in to Cape Town International
Posted: Fri Jan 20, 2017 9:26 pm
Based in the thread about me flying to work at FACT, here's my proposal:
I'm off next Saturday 28th Jan if anyone would like to fly into Cape Town International in their gyro. If that date doesn't work for the majority, then we can try another Saturday or Sunday. (Other dates when I'm off are Sun 5th Feb, Sat 11th Feb, Sun 12th Feb)
Today I spend some time after a flight, and did some visiting to see how we are going to get around after landing and visited to Tower to plan our arrival there.
I suggest everyone flies into Stellenbosch Airfield, and then I can give a brief on what to expect for our arrival. I suggest we leave Stellenbosch in a loose formation. After landing, we can park at the CPT Flying Club. They can do Tea/Coffee and muffins, or a full breakfast if we want. The other option is to part in the SAA Hangar, and we can walk across to the terminal building for a breakfast there if everyone prefers that. After that, Signature Aviation offer a ground transfer service whereby they can drive us to the Tower for a visit of Air Traffic Control (for a fee R185 one way for the ride!). Their crew transport bus takes 7, so the more gyronauts we get, the cheaper it is.
After the Tower visit, we can then depart initially as a loose formation, and then set heading for your respective airfields.
So there you have it, if you would like to do this, let me know asap, so I can get it organized.
Kind regards, Glenn
