As Bacchus says, you're always welcome at WV. But remember at the meeting you were allocated the job of 'parking attendant.' So please be there early. (^^)

FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For the west Coast chaps, remember the Wintervogel breakfast fly in tomorrow.
I have stickers donated from Henk in Pretoria, on behalf of MISASA, these are the reminders for the ATF, medical and licence. I will hand them to everyone tomorrow at the airfield.
Safe fly in.

Some pictures of the aircraft that flew in to our breakfast fly in.
A splendid bit of organising by the Wintervogel committee and the Van Dijk clan. Pity the wind kept most trikes on the ground but thanks to the many that drove in.

The wind did not only keep the trikes on the ground but the Para gliders also were forced to stay on the ground.

Thanks for the nice pics Graham, we had such a leka kuier the evening that no one bothered to take photies, only memories. This vhpy (^^) lead to (**) the next morning. Fires that turned to ashes and skeletons of empty glasses and plates standing around the next morning were all evidence of a good time had by all. Even the jumping castle seemed to be poegaai, deflated and moegespring. puff
