Good evening Aviators,
This event is almost on us and is going to be BIG ! Over 80 aircraft almost confirmed with one estimate having it at a 100 a/c.
Come join us on Friday (public holiday), Saturday (the BIG day) or Sunday morning (fun route flying).
Lots of free camping space, ablutions, food, (fully) stocked pub and newly constructed Bosveld Kompas braai awaits you. Food and braai packs arranged.
Avgas and Mogas available.
EAA invites trikes, microlights, NTCA, PPG, HG and we might even have a balloon or two !
Weather is excellent at the moment and the true free flying spirit is to be unleashed.
All you need to do is to call 5NM inbound on 124.20 and Uncle Bob does the rest.
Come ye, come all

Hey Guys
Some of us froom Crosswinds want to maybe come in of Friday morning for a brekkie. Kloot is this possible. Maybe not stay the whole day but pop in hello visit and then leave again. Maybe a repeat on Sat??
If there is coffee and brekkie then cool - lets kick the tires and light the fires !!
