Hi Francois,

Ek vertrou dat beide jy en Landie erg opgewonde is met nog 'n mylpaal in jul lewens!! Baie geluk

Ek het vanmiddag laat by julle plek verby gevlieg, maar moes ongelukkig kole gooi om in "legal" lig in Thaba te arriveer.. Het vanoggend vertrek uit Barberton (Bush Air Fly-inn) en lelike kopwinde en turbulensie "en-route" gekry.. Daarmee saam ook 'n pap voorwiel in Middelburg toe ons stop vir brandstof... Ons was 4 Bantams wat die tog aangepak het, en het die ekspedisie woes geniet..

Onthou net om altyd respek te koester vir jou vliegtuig en te sorg dat jy altyd binne jou, en jou vliegtuig se vermoeens bly!!

Veilig vlieg, en sien uit om jou binnekort te kan vergesel in die bosveld lug!

Groete

[Big-D]

Lekker flight this morning taking ZU-DBP home (As this airy used to be mine, I got a soft spot for that Aquilla and kinda glad Tribal Croc did not wanna dice this morning as I know what that wing of his can do )

We took off sparrows far*t at Aeroden and once all if us were airborne (8 trikes in total) I decided to make a radio call - Ja, this was difficult as we had some fat okes flying low and some okes literally close to the statosphere - So what do you broadcast? "Traffic 124.8 this is DFM, one of 8 trikes routing Aeroden to Klipvoor dam, at this time 7 miles west of Brits at an altitude ranging from 4100 feet to about flight level 95"

Nevertheless it was a great flight followed by a great Breakfast (Thanks Landie), and nice to have Gaylord and Dish join us later too

Crocster - Enjoy that Aquilla - It is a special plane - Fly safe, and know that you remain part of the Aeroden gang (We are proudly a drinking club - With a flying problem!!) and remember that wingovers are BAD, and you go straight to hell for doing them!!

Thanks for all the congratulations

And a very special thanks to all the guys that made the trip out with me

As Big D said we left very early on Saturday morning and its was a great flight home

I must admit I was one of the "high flyers"

Sunday afternoon I went for 30min local flight just to get a feel for my new surroundings and it was awesome

This morning I took my wife Landy up for a 50min flight, we flew over all the runways in our area.

It's amazing in a 5nm radius there are 5 runways

I must admit it is a bit scary flying over the bushveld all you see is trees and dams

I had to do 3 low level runway clearances this morning - donerse Blesbucks

See you all soon
