Was looking foreward to joining a large contingent coming from Secunda, but would like to check out the 'air show' details before I decide to go.

Twice flying to or from airshows have encountered some ' airshow exhibitors' encroaching whilst not on frequency. Probably on chat/ formation, but still unsettling.

Only two days to go. Weather looks like it will be fine on Saturday.
Make sure you fly in early. Aerial displays from about 11h00 to 14h00.
See you there

Our 06h30 take -off was delayed due to mist till 09h30. Slightly bouncy trip with several faster blik overflying above the clouds.

The best ATC I have encountered. Extremely efficient and welcoming. Voksrust flying Club made a huge effort for a fantastic day.Welcomed by 3 gorgous poppies after being ushered to the VIP. tent for a Southern Sun Breakfast. I hope they make lots of bucks because they rent from the council and maintain their faqcilties themselves.

The serious crosswind and early cloud probably accounted for me being the only trike there so I was reluctant to to shuttle the parachutists but the display was very entertaining. Left in the afternoon just as the pub started getting festive. I'm sure lots are still getting their money's worth. A nice jol.

Hi,

There was no way to get through from Light Flight nor Howick.

Try again next year.

Thanks Hannelie for the help.
