According to Mervyn's mail:

ETD first light 10th July 2015 from Microland, via Carolina (Fred Sturgess') to return via Arnot, first light Sunday 12 July 2015. All welcome especially novices. Your bookings for camping or bungalows are with Brian Young, pyramidflight@gmail.com. See http://www.pyramidflight.com/

There will be flights over Gods Window, Numbi Hotel breakfast, Kruger Western/Southern border and around the Barberton Valley. Great fun flying with perfect weather at this time of the year.

Fanie daai laaang rwy. is darem baie gerusstellend teenoor die 200 nm. se bos waaroor ons tussen Selibe Phikwe en Nata die vorige dag gevlieg het en waar selfs 'n chopper nie sou kon land nie. My kop staan terug Gaberone toe. Ek wil daai laaste been klaarmaak.

Chobe National Park was a distant second to Vic Falls but still incredibly scenic. Thanks to Nick and Paul 7 others for photo and video material.

Tnx Louis. Will you submit an article to MISASA for the next magazine? This request actually also came from Mervyn.

Tnx Louis. What memories that brings back. That pit stop landing on ELGII was such a highlight. All the passers by stopping and taking photo's with a smile ....indelible. Botswana people are truly happy, friendly people.

Tnx. Leon. As with our Namibia trip, it remains difficult to reduce the whole experience to a few minutes.
