Thumbs up

Welcome home Guns.

Sent François an email after I read your thread, and he responded that we can do this pprune bash at the WIN helipad in the Waterfront any late afternoon/early evening next week. Wednesday 23rd July is good.

There are a lot of helicopter pilots in CPT that read the pprune, and they should all be invited.

You Guns, must however invite Rotorhead (Pete Hanes) Marc Perkins & Andy Cluver.

Come on ppruners, lets get together and get to know each other.

Hey Gunship,

I am leaving Sydney next week and Saturday on my way to West Africa (Bata, EG). This time I am routing via Johannesburg to Madrid then down to Malabo. How long r u staying in SA? If there is any Chopper Drivers in J'burg next Saturday afternoon, I would love to have a few free beers in the Airline Lounge.

Look forward hearing from all the Chopper Boys out there! It is about time we get to sing the chopper song again.

Till later.

Cheers,

Chopper Jog

The Yanks have landed. Got In on Virgin this morning. You have my Cell. I brought over all My Army Crap including skid lid to unload on Francois for a marginal profit. Ha ha. I told him I wanted to come down and wring out the OD RV a little so I will contact him in a day or so and arrange it. Probably Kulula.com.
PPrune Bash in the Cape sounds like fun. Lets see if we get some of these folks who only have North on their Compass and get them down that way. I will contact Gerry, Fred and a couple others....... The time to Party is NOW.

Will speak to Sker to see if he can make it.

The party is on! François confirmed that all is invited to attend a get together (BRING & BRAAI) at the WIN Helipad in the V&A Waterfront on Wednesday, 23 July, from about 17.00 onwards.

WIN will provide the Weber & the gas, and some welcome refreshments. (Bubbly, beer, gin & of course Red wine for some.)

François will also provide some boerewors & chops, but due to the fact that the guest list is unknown, will not cater for a 100 people.

So come on people, lets get together there as pilots, get to know each other and have a great time. Those flying in from JHB or elsewhere, and arriving late will not be required to bring anything. I'm sure there will be enough for all.

See ya!

Kunjani Guys,

Cannot make it to Slaapstad tomorrow. Dammit!!! Maybe us prooners up north should arrange a bash around JNB/PTA sometime.

Anyway, have plenty of ales and Tassies while Sharalumi and I and plenty others are stuck in JNB. We'll have a dop at five tomorrow and think about you oaks.

Shala Gashlè,
Bakela
