My first encounter with a trike was on a cool summer afternoon on a farm in the Bloodriver district in northern KZN in 1995. Craig Cozens was training two farmers in the area. I went to their self made airfield every day. And watched and listened to the 503 blasting through the cool KZN skies. Magic...
I grew up and went to Durban in 1997, where I made an attempt to attain my MPL. My youth got the better of me and I ended up jolling out the monies that I had intended to use for my MPL.
Not my proudest moment. When I married, I was forbidden to fly microlights. I did get the opportunity to train again on fixed wing aeries on which I gathered about 30 hours. But the cost of the fixed wing flying was excessive and I had to give that up.
Now I am single, I am renewing my medical on 07/12 getting my Microlight SPL during that week, to fly my first lesson on the 13/12. Thanks to Oom Leprechaun of Rhino Park Flight School and my Boet for inspiring me to get my behind back in the air (even though it will be a little at a time).
I'm going back to my first love...Microlighting.
Look forward to sharing my journey here, if I may...
