To this team of men who’s flight is not a race.

Cos, Gyros are the only way, that I would like to fly
Nothin' ain't the same or can come close
Feeling safe and what a view
Experienced by such a few
Feeling good to share it with my friends
Wishing that this dream will never end.
!!!! !!!! Grumps - trust my wing(wo)men will sing this - especially the first line - over and over. :lol: No more calling me Slow Level. Had to take all the pics to show them what they are missing. :wink:

Next stop Danie Volschenk's - also keen gyro pilot - farm(piece of heaven) outside Bethlehem. We had a lekker boerie roll - or two - and emptied his 600 liter bowser. :mrgreen: Unfortunately not a pic of the refuel. :oops: Maybe someone from our group can help.

Big rocks in this part of the country
...and who says Sycamores cannot fly. Climbing with pax, without the turbo to get OVER some of the stuff.
