Where I Fly.

I promised you some more of the flight to the pan.
The dam that we flew over and toured the inside of the wall of, Is overflowing now!
Some rain in our drought stricken country - Finally!!

The game was "Gemsbuck" (Oryx), "Rooi Hartebees" (Red Hartebeast) and Wildebeeste (Gnu).
A Little Afrikaans Lesson. I won't even try and teach you the Xhosa Names for them....

The dark patches are razor sharp stones...

Last Few Pictures

No More after this. Tasty sandbars to try out on the next outing along the Orange River.

Those are great pictures, Reid... sure looks like a lot of fun! Thanks for posting them! It's so good to see other places from you, Ross, and so many others all over this great world! I've always though that "committing aviation" was one of the most fortunate things I've done in my life, because of the people. What a great fraternity of "brothers" (and sisters) we have!

I couldn't agree more with this statement. Especially the Kitfox brothers and sisters. I have often thought of the magnetism this little airplane has for great people. My bucket list is to someday meet you all face to face. Well - at least a dream.

Flying back from East London on Thursday, a big storm built up and after a couple of attempts at landing at my home field, I diverted to nearby Stutterheim. I Barely got the plane tied down in the lee of a hangar with the control locks on when the storm Hit!!
I am mighty glad I wasn't still in the air!
It was still worrying though.

A friend came and collected me and after a good supper, with his family, he drove me home.

I collected "Foxy Feet" today. Lovely calm autumn weather to fly in....
