THAT Tokolosie has let me down several times recently :roll: :lol: So, we can only rely on the warm, welcome invitation of Avgas and his team. I communicated with him this week and they are ready to rock, as always.

Thanks Richard, see you there =D> =D>

Good weather ordered.
Please speak to the guys in the Cape. Ask them to keep the cold there.
So far from Wednesday next week good weather will be with us.

Received from the weather supplier.
"Thank you for your order for perfect flying and camping weather.
Your order will be delivered 1-3 July.
Do not miss this opportunity as k@k weather will be on its way soon after your event"

Geez we are so lucky or are we just bloody good with our timing.
I think this is my 25th big fly in event that I have organised.

I flew in to Warmbad/Warmbath/Bela Bela on Sunday, and boy! Are they ready!!

Landed on the grass runway (unmarked shoulder of the tar runway) and it was as smooth as one can get.Took off from the tar runway, also smooth, no potholes. :lol: 8) What a pleasure. Really looking forward to the weekend.
Thank you Richard and team.

Lekker man lekker……

Original planned to sleep over Friday night.
Then the predicted cold kept me at home.

Flew in this morning to a well organised and run day.
Nice meeting old (and new) friends again.

Thank you Richard and Team - enjoyed the day. (But glad I didn.t sleep in a tent.)
