Re: Bantam B22j - fuel issue

Re: Groblersdal Fly Inn 9 June 2012

Yikes....but the wind...she blew strongly. 5 Bantams and 1 Bushbaby took off from Lydenburg at 07.00, but on reaching 6500-7000 ft, the headwind slowed us down to a 30 kt groundspeed, giving two hours flying time to Groblersdal, after getting thumped, and thinking of the return trip, when conditions...

Blue eagle, would love to see you at Kwena, but it is a little off the road track, and about the P...only bushes and long grass off the runway......To get there by road you would have to turn off at Bambi Motel, drive towards Lydenburg, then turn off to Kwena dam, not really practical on a road trip...

Re: AFRICA CUP 2011
