Work has been getting in the way.

Ok, 3 cases of beers/other in the fridge and 8 liters of coke.

Fuel reminder sent to Zebula as back-up plan.

All other plans remain the same. I will meet Alpha, Madman and others at crosswinds (4pm) and ww will hook up with others at Aeroden at 4h30 or so.

Maddog I know its a long haul for you to get route around the West so if you route East then we will see you there.

Is Expresso and the other chap from Crosswinds still joining?

The secret BFC's are waiting for Sat night chow-time.

These days camera's are everywhere but pics will have to be censored before posting - Gaylord please keep your clothes on (**)

So if the Wx sorts itself out we in for another fun weekend.

Anyone wanna call me to clarify any details - 083 638 8056

Accuweather shows clear skies tomorrow, 10 km wind from SE (nice push) and 22 degrees so looking shweet.

Please could the lower hour pilots let me know what weather you are comfortable to fly in. I do not want anyone flying outside of their comfort zone.

We will have a short briefing at Aeroden regarding route, frequencies etc.

Looking fwd to this. Flying, braaing, talking shait and Photies for Jeffery (^^) (^^) ...............and the BFC :lol: :lol:

One more thing.

For Zebula weather you can look at the following site - www.golfweather.com

Just go to the site, then go to SA and search for Zebula. Its an hourly report by day and fairly accurate.

Maddog, please send me your cel No to 083 638 8056.
