Re: Raptor vs Aquilla

I enjoy the magazine and look forward to receiving it in the mail, but I must agree that the "kaalgat" girls spoil it a bit for me. I agree with Boet - we want to see more aeries!

Re: Trike touch and go at International airport?
Hi Marius,
I am working in Tanzania and I often go to Arusha. How do I contact you and will it be possible to "hire and fly" there? I would love to be able to do some flying while I am here.

Hi Guys, At least some of the microlights standing in hangers belong to guys like me who work outside South Africa. I have a brand new Raptor (50 hours on the clock) standing in a hanger in SA while I work in Gambia (west Africa). I only go home about four times a year and them fly as much as I can....
