Smart-Ass Tour 09 by the Manne van Staal

Postby Splinter » Tue Apr 07, 2009 2:52 pm

Morning Guys

As you know the Springs Manne van Staal are doing a trip from Springs Around Cape Town and back. vhpy See our previous post under “Manne van Staal to Cape town”. There have been some big changes made to the original plan, so that’s why we decided to open a new topic! The Manne taking part are MadDog, Lone Ranger, Wallfox, Big Man, Espresso, Wingman and myself.

The New plan is as follows:

18 April Springs to Margate / Port Edward area
19 April Port Alfred Area
20 April Mosselbay
21/22 April Stellenbosch Area
23 April Oudsthoorn
24 April Surprise (Mystery Tour)
25 April Gariep
26 April Springs

(These are not necessarily “confirmed” overnight stops and will possibly change depending on WX and the number of Grandpa`s / Pubs available (^^) (^^) , but the plan is to overnight in vicinity)

We will visit as many microlight airfiels as time allows en route, so if you see a formation blasting by low level feel free to join us for a local flip, join us for a beer at the nearest pub, or wait for the photo taken at your airfield to be posted on the forum!

This will surely be a tour to remember and we will make sure the forum gets as many photos as possible!

PS: Keep your eyes peeled and pointed towards the sky……… Die Manne van Staal are inbound soon…… (!!) (!!)

To the guys that replied on the prev. post, Boatch, Morph and DJJK we have your numbers and will buzz you when we are close.

When you are going past East London pop in at Wings Park for coffee. Let us know what time you should be in the air and we can welcome you. Our runway is grass and 1000 metres so we can accommodate heavy loaded trikes easily. will pm you with co ordinates if you want them. There are a number of feilds around here but we are definitely the friendliest. (^^) (-)

Hi guys

Wishing you a good time, safe flying and perfect weather. Post the pics and stories so us working class bastards can at least enjoy the ride as well. (^^) (^^) (^^)

Hi Guys

Coastal winds indicate Westerley, Sat, Sun and Monday, so allow for some slow flying!

See you soon-ish
