Overberg FLy in and Airshow, 13-15 Nov

[Learjet]

R200 registration fee for the rare opportunity & privilege to fly into the Overberg Airforce base? If my understanding is correct that this includes landing & parking fees and also the airshow entry fee - then I'd have to say I think it's money well spent for an awesome day's entertainment.

Just emailed TFDC - very happy for me to fly in on sat morning, as long as all done before 9 am.

So, Friday to Stellies! Sat TFDC

Looks like the weather might count me out as well - headwinds both ways and rain. Will decide tom.

With regards permission - on the website - they say you can only fly in on sat am with permission - telephonically more than 24 hours before - and also on the web is a form with all details. It seems as long as they know about you beforehand, you should be fine?
