Willie,

you are coming with a Thunderbird? Then we could be 2 of these this year.

Will fly from Bronhorstspruit tomorrow morning, pending Trevor fixing my mag-drop problem.

Hi Willie,

originally wanted to fly the T-Bird to Barberton. Then got passengers and planned to borrow a Arrow. Decided to do self-ramp-check before going: you guessed it: paperwork not in order. Now too late to go with T-Bird. So driving with car...
Looking at it in arears: maybe not too bad. Might have ended up in Maputo with all that wind.

Yes, would appreciate some tailwind. Naa, not too much. Just a bit. Fuel stops are a hassel...

Trevor Davies is busy today to fix a mag-drop problem. Hope it works out.

Looking forward to do some flying with you.

Udo

Cheetah 912s Rules....
Sat at 95mph indicated AS for the journey @ 5000rpm - Ground speed varied from 100 to 144mph :shock: :shock:
Circus to Numbi - 220miles completed in 1Hr 50 minutes check out my 296 Track if you need to....sorry Demon that's an average of 120mph.
Yes.....there was a strong tailwind, but EHY was exceptional cruising at the indicated 95mph.

Trikes also got busy over the escarpment.....again EHY soaked up the bumps for a great flight down here....

Miller's are flowing this arvie and looking forward to a Braai with the boys this evening.

Looks like a tailwind routing back on Sunday too....

Weather's here....wish you were beautiful.. (^^)
