This comes as a shock! :shock: :shock: :shock: Its a great idea, but you'll have to demo the current hangar, and then build connected hangers like at Ingwe... that of course is if you want to fit the 20 hangars and the houses. The neighbours are no trouble, I get instruction there, but we avoi...

Re: Rhino Poaching Pilots, Vets and Game Ranchers

Re: Flying Namibia

Oh the wonderful Namib! One can only imagine the excitement and then finally making the trip! I really wish I could do the same! We live on a farm near Otjiwarongo, the farm is Okaputa (FYKP), next time you decide to do a trip, stop, sleep, share stories etc. We had two microlighters touch down here...

Okaputa when translated from one of the native languages means a fork in a tree. Seems kind of dodgy to me. About the trike, I haven't...
