Air Magic will be on patrol ! Then routing to Grumpy and company...we will bring the latest toys, grippas, wheel chocks. Also unseen in the Cape led lights which are a must for the Bantams and Aquillas. Hopefully have a sample windsock and a new product "dusselboom". Initially for Aquilas. I have seen non trike pilots struggle to move them around so we have a solution!

We'll have a pilots' briefing before departure on Saturday and we must complete De Hoop Indemnity forms, which will be sent with the first aircraft leaving for De Hoop.

Lunch wil be served in the Restaurant at De Hoop.

A big thank you to Technocrat and all the friendly members at Swellengrebel for a great fly in. Unfortunately I missed out on the fly out to De Hoop on Saturday (SWAMBO & I couldn't drag ourselves from the swimming pool at the B&B in the 38' degree heat!) but the rest of the weekend at FASX was lots of fun. Thanks for all the coffees yesterday as we sat waiting for the front to pass
FASX is a great airfield & club that I know I don't get to visit often enough. Hope to change that a bit this year.

Thanks to all you pilots, photographers and friends who visited Swellengrebel Flying Club over the weekend. We all enjoyed the Fly In, the aircraft and your company. Some visitors kindly posted some pictures on the Aviation Photograpy Forum - please visit:

I'll also post a few pictures of the massive veld fire we had a week before the Fly In - we had a big skrik!

Remember: First weekend in March is always our date.
