Yes of course, I have had breakfast at Rhino myself. Please just confirm approximate numbers as I have to give the info to the Air Marshall. All other arrangements are in place, they are looking forward to seeing us.

Is'nt it the same day as the Circus fly in?

[gasguzzler]

Yes this is the same day as circus fly in. Think I will go to circus as you can go to Rand anytime and its good to support your local guys efforts.

Hi Mark!

Sounds good, was going to go there Saturday morning anyway to pick up something at Comet!!

Should we go to Springs first or head straight for Rand?

Will drag Johan along as well so 2 planes....

Fly safe,
Rudi

No problem flying in directly. Approach from Romeo Delta (can't teach you guys that, I am the rookie). I have arranged with the tower.
No need to join overhead first, tower will advise circuit and active runway, we will join the circuit directly.

Thanks Raymonvt, see you Saturday

Hi Rudi – excellent, springs first or straight in up to you guys - or lets see what time we get airborne.

Hi all,

Same, but the difference is that there are no landing fees at Circus and the "beorie" roll is on the house

[Raymonvt]

Rand fly-in still on. Big Man suggests we fly from Springs at 07:00 for Circus and then still do the breakie at Rand. Keeping all happy. Those who cannot afford the landing fees may return home.
C u there! Fly safe!
