Awful news again ... hope they're OK!

The YAK is used by 43 to take the airline (SAA) pupes up for an introduction to aerobatics. Sick bag is mandatory
The Fish River is on the outskirts of the GFA about 5nm to the NE of FAPA. There aren't great landing choices available as the area is quite hilly. The PIC in this two-seater is generally an experienced instructor. Please someone fill us in on who they are!
