Quik vs Aquilla

Postby Tribal Croc » Sat Jun 04, 2011 6:50 pm

Met the guys at Zebula for a flight along the Waterberg Mountains and then back to Ntokozo for breakfast.

Flew my Aquilla II 582 and where going no were slowly until one of the Quick’s pulled up alongside me to show off :cry:

Thanks for visiting (^^)

Great video Tribal, made a thousand times better with that AC/DC soundtrack! s077 s077 s077 s077 s077 .

At stages it looked like a dogfight from the second world war !! :lol: :lol: :lol:, and Martin had you fly through his propwash the bugger. Had to try and slow you down some how :lol: :lol:
But those GTs are awesome flying machines.

Good one.............. (^^) (^^) (^^) (^^) (^^)

Thanks guys (^^)

I have a new found respect for the Quik’s ^*^^

I must admit Saturday was spend sulking and moping around (**) I was like a bear with a sore tooth , these are amazing trikes and the guys flying them mad me so jealous it looked like they were truly dancing in the sky doing all sorts of moves :mrgreen:

Martin still owes me a box of underwear for those underneath passes I was not expecting that me cruising along and all of a sudden seeing this white flash passing under me f*kit boet you shaved at least 5 years of my life (-)

Thanks for the breakfast TC. You have a fantastic spot there.

Lets not forget our ugly cousin who was also there.

If you think that was bad try sitting in the back seat and suddenly you see the speed at which we were closing in on Tribal, Specially with Martin not telling me what next ## ##
Was awsome seeing the agility of the Aircraft first hand (not that this was the first time i have flown with Marty) But it has never been compared to another Aircraft in the Air.

Breakfast was Great and i will definately be making another visit there with the Pink lady soon !!!! !!!!

I have no picks as i was holding onto my Lunch and with that i had my hands full already.

And i must say Watching pAtChEs and the Duck slowly tipping over onto his Ass was a real Treat s023 (No CHOP you are Never going to Live it Down :!:)
