Unfortunately, only five entries, four in the SPP (Sportsman) Class and one in UNP (Unlimited) were received for this event that as a rule closes the competition season of the SAC. Harry Kassel flew in his Gamebird, Dean Houghton and Mitchell Wright shar...
Frankie's Family Fly in at Roodia Vanderbiljpark
Просмотров 28221 день назад
On Saturday morning Derek Hopkins and me took of from Eagles Creek in his RV8 pocket rocket for a quick but rather bumpy 20 minutes or so flight to Frankie’s at Roodia for their Family Fly-in. Frankie’s? Roodia? You may well ask and so did I. Roodia, close to the Vaal River and Vanderbiljpark, is definitely not your usual airfield and it is well worth the visit. Even from the air Roodia looked ...

Did you see a bird outside and want to know what it is? Great! Birdwatching is a decision that will bring you closer to nature, allow you to see the beauty in everyday life, and just generally make you a happier person. But where do you begin? All you really need to enjoy birdwatching is a bit of interest, a pair of binoculars (even a cheap pair will do) and a willingness to go outside. But you...
EAA 322 at Brits 09 11 2024
Просмотров 128Месяц назад
Unlike most EAA Chapter’s 322 does not have a home base but consists of members from all over SA. This effectively mean that each fly in is just that, a fly way from your home field to fly in to another, the event, airfield. Unless of course your home field is the destinations of the fly in. Theoretically what you should then do is take-off, do a circuit and voila you have flown in! Living clos...

The northern leg was still to held in Brits in the North West while the southern leg was to be hosted by one of the country’s most scenic airfi...

Visiting Oshkosh has been on my bucket list for decades. Now well into the pension years I never expected to get there. This all changed when a family member very kindly sponsored my trip with Neil Bowden’s South African group. This was a dream come true. Immediately, preparations began to get visas, baggage and camera gear ready. On the 19th of July I flew up to Johannesburg and met up with ou...

Good Job!
Was the photos of the Impala taken this year?

I thought this fly has no name, no sound, no job

Always a great fly in !
You got that right!
Doing Pitts aerobatics is easy, doing landings is hard. When you turn final, not only does the runway disappear, the whole airport is gone.
🙏❤
Mooiste werld❤

What a great collection, thank you for posting. I noted here in the U.K. most if not all D.H.Tiger Moths have "Anti-Spin Strakes" fitted, I guess that is not a requirement in S.A. ?
