GR14.. . .. .I flew in SA during in Jan so here are some pointers. The country is BIG!! also next to nothing in the way of nav aids for XC's and one hill looks much like another so watch your track, times and headings. You WILL be a good navigator at the end... Watch out for thunderstorms in the afternoons. Not unusual to have 3-5 in sight on any given day...Gets pretty turbulent on hot day's,. .apart from that it's a helluva place to fly and the airspace is quieter too... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" /> ..where are you flying..?. .. ....make sure that you are ready to write an exam anytime you cant fly because of weather..happens more often than you would have thought.... .. .have fun. .Sky
