Lets hope for good weather

The AIP sent out by the CAA has many errors.

1. Aircraft can arrive and depart any time on the 3rd and 4th. However on Sat 5th ( Airshow Day) all arrivals must be on the ground by 9am and departures only after 4pm.

2. The name of this airfield is BARBERTON! (NOT "Barberton Valley" or "Bush Air"!!!) and the call sign is also BARBERTON. The name was changed a long time ago but the aviation charts and directories have not yet been up-dated.

3. The correct coordinates are : S25'43'051 E030'58'515

4. The correct Cell no is 082 490 5721

It was great seeing so many familiar faces and meeting many new ones, don't miss the next one guys!Old no 7, I think I have only now recovered completely from Friday night, OD'd on C, J & D vitamins :D I think oranges should be banned at flying events, they had a real bad effect on me
