Trke overhead Witbank Sunday
Trke overhead Witbank Sunday
On Sunday midday (must have been very bumpy and very windy!) a trike passed overhead at Witbank airfield from East to West without speaking on the radio or he was on the wrong frequency. At the time we had parachutes in the air, our Atlas Angel (turbine Kudu) was descending and an aircraft passing just to the north (he was on radio and frequency). Luckily the pilot of our paradropping aircraft was wide awake, and saw the trike and warned the other aircraft. The parachutes were at the other end of the airfield and fortunately clear. All ended well and no sweat, but please if you are doing a cross country, do proper planning, check frequencies and make sure you know local rules. Lets not give microlighting a bad name.
