Editing hours of footage is a bitch. Just finished Part 1 of my trip. Not much to work with on the S.A leg but scenery improves in Botswana.

Thanks to all who could attend the reunion at the 3rd Saturday of the month braai at Microland. Especially to those that flew in from Ingwe and others that brought projectors, memory sticks, DVD's, food and fire making stuff. We had three projectors going continuously for the whole morning, with people making copies in the background. Unfortunately for some the conversation was dominated with reminissing about the trip.....sorry to those that could not join in. :mrgreen: There was even talk about an anual repeat. :shock:

And to Fanie L, congrats on finally getting your Cheetah up here and you first conversion lesson. Just don't forget about us and your GT & Aquila. ## Pitty the weather was do kak on Saturday.

Mervyn wants to do a Barberton fly away this winter before the Africa Cup. He will let us know what dates are available.

Nice Louis. (^^)

I sent you the original JPeg Botswana Air Safari - 2015 logo. Hope you got it.

Just some final stats of mine. From my GPS track log and instrument logs, I flew 24 hrs and 34 min in total, in Botswana (Kasane + Sua Pan + Maun). Fuel burnt was 348 liters. Cost.. :shock: :shock: ...dont know exactly, but it was worth every cent and more. (-) (-)

Yip, Barberton (9 July) and then Africa Cup (24 Sept).

Had a very smooth low level flight this morning. As good as it gets over the Highveld. :? Missing the Botswana flying terribly.. :( :(

I have to agree with you Paul. One can't quantify the experience. It outlasts the costs everytime. Tnx. I received the logo and it looks great in the next video of the leg between Serlibe Phikwe and Nata. Baie bome as jy kortpad kies
