SWARTKOP AIRSHOW FLY_INN 11th & 12th May

[John.com]

Is daar n minumim (rookie ure) beperking op hierdie "event".
40 ure pilot.

Nope...as long as you are licensed and current there is no reason why you cannot participate?
No fancy flying involved. Takeoff, follow the leader...and land. Propwash is the biggest challenge I would guess... This will be my first too.

Anyone got their clearances yet? Me I still vaiting...

>>>and no radio work when you're in the formation...

CORR-ECT! Any no k@kking on FASK ATC for paragliders in airspace!

[Folla]

Het ek n lisensie nodig om n microlight te kan vlieg . My instrukteur het my net gewys hoe om te land.

[D2O]

Forms faxed. Now the weather and everything else had BETTER play along! I'm not missing this for a 4th time!

The only problem you may have with that weather forecast John is that we need it near perfect on the 11th of May!

Please dont get arrested when landing at FAWK on the 4th!

We need to get the pre-briefing from Les. This will be after he has discussed the plan with Col. Hanekom. Judging by last years time scales, we should be pre-briefed by next week Wed. Plenty time.

Any list of names/numbers yet Les?

[Nkwazi]

I wonder how this FAWK debacle will impact on us being able to assemble at Waterkloof. It's vital that we are able to assemble there to organise the formation.

Docs faxed.

Have a gut feeling the Gupta's might have screwed us with an investigation pending. Thank you Showerhead for screwing the pleasures and intent of the man on the street. Selfish dick ...

Anyhow Les, persevere !

[Loco]

Hi guys, any body got Les's cell # for me, want to confirm what's happening

[Nkwazi]

I have just spoken to Les. He will contact the relevant people to check what the situation is going to be in light of this fiasco

[Asterix]

From what I've seen in the news over the last couple of days this thing is about on the same level as Marikana. Eish, I think the LAST civil plane landed on Waterkloof...

Thanks Gupta's. ( A family who arrived in SA in 1993, and who are billionaires today. Why? Previously disadvantaged of course, and awarded contracts on BEE principles. Despite the fact that NONE of them were even born here....)
