Bud - you own the patch!!!! , bought and paid for by experience. Probably saved the farmer thousands in ploughing fees. Not making light of it - but now that everyone is ok - you have to laugh at it or else you will cry at the loss of your baby. Dont worry you will be in the air soon, its a very powerfull drug!!

I want one of those badges please!!
DUDE your patch stretches all the way up to Northern Cape - rather say that you're a South African Patch flyer. Be carefull - DISH will show you his rusty sheriffs badge. :twisted: vhpy

DH - My mate your forgetting one thing and that is that BIG D has a lot of experience with other bars.. and I dont mean alcoholic, I mean the type that support 8,000,000 kilograms precariously balanced above his head... That is one hell of a strong oke, so if I were you, I would probably refrain from calling him fat... he might just take offense and we wouldnt want that..... To quote Obelix - "im not fat im just well covered"

Goodness I enjoy this site !!!! (-)
And Dish - you are very well built mate - its just the plastering that needs a little work. Who am I to talk ??FAT PEOPLE USE MORE SOAP.

I think Donnerseun makes patches and all must decide which if not both as official badges for the Cabbage Patch Squadron....

Lets see the badge from Nam please.....

Lots of time YES.... Lots of money NO.... Not going to kill myself grafting until AIDS is over - and for those still not familiar with AIDS .... it stands for

Aviation Induced Divorce Syndrome

I want to start putting badges on my winter flying suite.....

When are you coming over to visit JR?

Cabbage Patch

Postby Carel » Wed Mar 05, 2008 4:01 pm

The first design, even if we fly cabbage patch the eagle represent some of our aspirations to spread our wings and explore a larger patch, and the cabbage the patch, does not matter how large it is.

Time on hands - no bad flying weather.

Ditto, the patch grows with experience and better equipment, becuase you feel more confident.

Of course Andre! Until about 10 years ago I was a Vaallie too and did a fair amount of Harties/slime-dams flying myself.

I think I am going to be coming up there this weekend because they will all be here for the Argus. :lol:
