FYI ppower

1. If it was a southerly wind in use in DBN, then why "thus RNY 05 would have been in use" ATC101 and aerodynamics101 state otherwise. Not saying though that 05 was not in use. I heard the same thing subsequently.

2. I've lived 2km from Virginia for 27 years. you get rwy 23/05, then the m4, then kentucky drive, then Danville AVE. I did however say ALMOST behind Virginia, the south end of danville AVE is ALMOST directly behind the tower. Sure the upper end of danville lies slightly north of the threshold rwy23.

An islander can hardly find forward speed with two donkeys so a one out with 6 up on departure cant have a happy ending.

I spoke to this aircraft on area a couple of days ago going from pongola to mazangwenya (forgive the spelling) Looks like the clients were having a great safari. Not the kind of end to a holiday you would want. Best wishes and speedy recoveries to all involved.
