Otjiwarango

[pietmeyer]

Veilig in Kang. Uneventful day except that the radio didn't want to work for a few moments at Pilanesberg not that I needed itin Botswana because there is absolutely no one in the air. Refueled and ready for tomorrow. I'll check a bit later what the weather forecast is. Xx

Told you flying in Botswana is easy

Tinks you go girl!!!

Typical female this morning, according to her track, in and out of Botswana and Namibia, can't decide where she wants to be

Tinkerbell just arrived in Gobabis. After re-fuel and customs hopefully the last leg to Otjiwarongo, weather permitting.

After almost 1000 miles of solo flight over the last two days, Tinkerbell arrived safely in Otjiwarango.
Enjoy the airshow and the rest tomorrow.

Can't say that I wasn't happy to land! Loved the flying but missed someone to share the experience with. The whole area I covered looked almost the same. Can't believe there is a stretch of land this big that is basically undeveloped. Didn't see that much animals either. Weather was fine, little bit of rain this morning between Kang and Ghanzi, never a tail wind, mostly head wind from the south west. Special recommendation to the people of Jwaneng and Ghanzi. I say again that this trip has reminded me that there are good, wonderful, helpful people out there. I come across too many selfish people on a daily basis. Thank you to each of you whom without reward went out of your way to help me. Tomorrow is a rest day at the Otjiwarango airshow. Can't wait!

Enjoy the rest. Laughed when i saw the photos of the bug that kept you company. Everytime i fly through all alone i do the stupid things to keep my self busy...... Had a fly and a stink beetle for company on my last trip. Hours of flying over nothing with no other aircraft in the sky.

Dit getuig van n gebrek aan water. As die reenval meer was in daardie streke sou die bevolking meer gewees het. Jy sal dieselfde in Namibia sien.
Groetnis en lekker vlieg.

Na 'n pap wiel op Gobabis is Juanita goed oppad na Ghanzi, lyk egter of sy die wind van voor kry.

[mak]

Ja Rudy, sy het heelpad 'n +- 20 mph kopwind gestoei , maar nou veilig by Ghanzi. Re-fuel en dan laaste skof vir dag.

Hi Marius, ja, ek het gesien haar spoed is laag, hopelik sal dit beter gaan na Kang, 'n lang dag!

What a nice surprise this morning while flying in to Jwaneng to hear Juanita on the radio. We landed almost the same time at Jwaneng. She struggled with a head wind all the way here and I fought clouds and bumpy weather coming the opposite direction.
She landed and promptly stopped in the middle of the runway with a flat tyre

After some struggling we got the tyre repaired and she was on her way again although a little behind schedule........not after the local guys first had to take some photos in the gyro
Was so nice to meet her and see that awesome flying machine.

Juanita, hope to see you and your husband at the Botswana air show

Ai Juanita

Baie bly jy is veilig so ver en almal wat jou help- wonderlik
Net jammer jou vlug beplanning is so swak.
Ons ou duitswester vermy die ooste van Namibia en Botswana a g v die eentonige niks om te sien wereld.
Wel ek is bevrees dit gaan jou nou n tweede trip kos.
Van waar jy bly na Upington
Dan Visrivier afgronde -Luderitz -Sesriem -Sossusvlei - Solitair - dan reg wes oor die mooiste duine in die wereld tot by die see - noord na Swakopmund
Terracebaai-Kaokoland- Dammaraland - Brandberg -Spitskoppe-en sommer weer terug op jou spoor
Die Pilots wat nog nie die weste van Namibia gevlieg het nie - Julle het nog nie gevlieg nie.
Vra maar die Suid Afrikaners wat hier by ons op Swakopmund verbykom.
Glo my daar is baie - van Turbines tot piepiekrieke en almal kan nie uitgepraat raak nie.
Groete uit die woestyn en geniet die volgende trip se beplanning

Hello Johan, ja, ons beplan klaar ons volgende trip. MAK was juis erg jaloers dat ek Namibië toe kon gaan. Het spesiaal vir die Otjiwarango lugskou gegaan. So, sien julle so gou ons kan! Watter tyd van die jaar is die beste?
