Omaruru Fly Inn 2010

[Massimo]

Hi Guys and Girls
I’m interested to do this event and fly to Namibia. Either with my JK-09 (105mph) and fly in two days or Thunderbird microlight (60 mph) and fly there in three days. I would like to fly the Brandberg trip as well and if there are any interest, we can extend our stay with a few more days.
If anyone is interested please phone or pm or just do it right here and let’s start with the arrangements. If not I will consider to fly alone.
I think it would also be better if we can move this thread to Flying Events instead of Hanger talk.
Regards

Hi JJJ, I would love to do this trip, will be flying in my 701 Skyjeep (85mph). I cant commit right now, but we can start talking. I first need to monitor the progress of my little 6 week girl (and her mother), before i can make a final decision. And maybe i can get a Savannah to join and perhaps an orange funny looking trike kind of thing......who goes by the name Cobra on this forum . This will be a FANTASTIC trip. If a few of us go up together we can take it nice and slow and have some great fun.

Hi Massimo
Sound great. Hope you can make it past the wife and little one. The plan is to fly to Swakop in two days and two days back. I can fly 85/90 easily so no problem. The trike must just not be a 503 or 582. Too slow. From Swakop we join Skysketch and the others on to Omaruru. We can extend the trip if you which and do some flying around the Desert and Fish river canyon on the way back. I will fly alone as I need to carry about 25 litres fuel. I fly from Vanderbijlpark. Skysketch promised to mail me the necessary forms to apply for a permit for Namibia.
How long before you will know?

Me just been wondering , what is the chance of renting a Windlass or some other Trike there , It would be quick to get there by BMW 1100 GS , and then have some fun before returning , done it in 2007 Desert Run ???? Leprachaun

I can organize you something! Will phone Dawid tomorow and then I will let you know! Why don't you try and hitch a ride with one of the guys coming up? We have a HUGE hanger at Omaruru filled with trikes so I am sure there will be one for you!

Sounds good, so we should allow for approx 8/9 days in total? I fly from tedderfield at the moment. Will also fly alone for extra fuel and luggage. I would say by end July i can give you and answer. I flew to Upington a few months back and that took 6 hrs one way. I will do some easyplanning in the mean time and send you a pm with my contact details.

Hi Massimo
I Fly often to Tedderfield. My friend Richard Stubbs hanger there as well. Please look on EasyPlan for my field. It is called Roodia Aero Estate in Vanderbijlpark. I have coffee, Coke and beer if you want to visit.
I fly to Upington in 4 hrs but no problem to fly slower. I think we should meet and talk about the trip. I have received the application forms for permition to fly into Nam.If you give me your e-mail then I will mail it to you.

Its good to see you guys are making plans! I am sure there are so many that would like to come, try and get the word around!

Funny, I phoned a Guesthouse in Keetmanshoop to do a booking and they are not willing to pick us up at the airport. “ Nei meneer ons doenit tie, djy moet a texi vat”

Awesome, if you need a lift in Keetmans I will orginzie somebody to pick you up, (don't worry, I won't let some scum bag pick you up ). When are you planning on being in Keetmans?

[JJJ]

So far the plan is to sleep over in Keetmans the night of 7th Sept. so that we can be in Swakop on the 8th to fly with you guys to UIs on the 9th. I believe we will get a Guesthouse willing to pick us up. If not I will press your button
Thanx
