Mmm makes me think back to the 70's when I was there and seen many a C210 and PA32/260/300 scraping the bushes after departure 19. Fully loaded for the coast not gaining speed or height after departure. "Vra maar vir Louw Schoeman" how to fly a 6 with rudder out of there. Southerly wind and very nice downdrafts over the mountain. Keep it safe guys.
