Just wanted to introduce myself on the forum, Looks like I will be in Namibia for most of next year.
I was the ASRA Gyro News editor for 2 years and am hoping to do some more writing and photography if I get any spare time.
I'll start reading through the forums soon to get the feel of the place and hope to catch up with some flyers in the new year.
cheers
Art

Welcome Art,
You will be spending time in one of the most beautifully photographic places on earth.
You are going to have many gyro pilots visiting you.
Regards
Glen

Sadly our planned April trip has had to be postponed due to other unavoidable commitments

It will most probably only happen in July.
Pity. Will keep you posted.
I heard a rumour that Swakop airfield is CLOSED? Is this true?
