Just a dop and chop or just bring a dop is also ok .. ??? :}

The Eagle has landed and he is firsty ... very thirsttyyy ..

Come on boys and gals get your gatte in ratte and let us suip a bit the Cape needs water ! :ok:

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.

[Chopper Jog]

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

[Gunship]

Lo Clipboard et all.

Ok I will ring FM just now but 23 July sounds cool banana's to me !

Re Perkins .. he reads it so he is welcome anyway. Will be nice meeting him in person.

It will be good to see Piet Heyns again.

Looking wd meeting you all (without politics but LOTSA beers ;)

ORCAaaaaahhhh can jou and Morkel f@k not come down or Sker ??

[Deanw]

Who says us Slaapenaars can't organsise a pi$$up in a brewery?

And just in time too! I'm off to the UK on Mon 4 Aug for a month (work plus a little pleasure). Any SAA pilots out there on the CPT - LHR flight?

Just say the time and (work / wife permitting) I'll be there :}

Let the Cape grape show the way ... hic

Francois, thanks for the use of the pad.

Guns
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.

[Gunship]

SA has changed ... they caught me on the highway trying to phone FM .. :( A stern warning meneer !

I will call him just now at a reasonable time.

Welcome "home" Bert and welcome Home Mrs D ;)

I kept Wednesday open - is that enough time for you to get your a55 down here (where it counts) Bert ?

Dean ... sorry mate - you will have to ask my British Airways Capt the route to the UK.

I leave on the same night - just different airline that do is non - partial and non - racist .. not like SAA. Oeps ... sowwy .. had to ge it in again .. :E

Orcaaaa ... Morkel ... Rags ... Bakela .. r u coming ? :yuk:

[REAL ORCA]

Gunzzz

I will be there, unfortunately landing only at nine that night. Hope you will still be able to speak by then.:p

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

[clipboard]

:ok: 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. :D

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.:ok:

See ya!

[B Sousa]

SUCK...............

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,

View where the beauty sleeps at night at Helibase ... (I never saw a spot of dust flying when we landed next to the N2) ... oeps no politics - sowwyyy ... :E

So you oke's later .. PS: Bring a crate each .. Fancois has B I E G plans

[Gunship]

Trust GOFFEL :} to be first at the party (yesterday) and first down ... eischh Goffel :p

http://www.nel.co.za/Data/photo105.jpg

[Goffel]

:mad: :E Ay Guns.
I see you at least had the decency to take the photo before you stole my shoes to pawn for that vulgar Tassies that you consume.

Thanks to you for just leaving me on the sidewalk and pawning my tackies I got arrested for dronk op straat and being in public without shoes.

Please send someone to bail me out of the tronk.

By the way,I have the Rolex that you asked for.:E

[francois marais]

:ok: Guns & I have just been to Cape Town International airport, and GOFFEL has been positively identified(from the photo) as Melvin Fortein.

Melvin is an aircraft refueller at the airport, and regularly refuels helicopters, private jets & airplanes. From there his intimate knowledge of what goes on where. Goffel, jou bliksem! You fooled us all.

Put it to bed guys, GOFFEL is not a pilot, and he knows nothing about flying, other than taking off the fuel cap, refuelling and refitting the cap ;)

[Cardinal Puff]

I'm in! How about Eastwood Tavern in Pretoria? There's always Dad's Place in Menlo Park but as it's a jazz club I reckon we'd have to scare off the trendoids before we can get adequately ratted.

Any more ideas?

How about Field and Stream in Sandton next weekend? I believe there's some kind of craft show and a beer tent......

[Gunship]

Ja Goffel jou bl!ks!m ! Give me my watch back. It is Silver or Gold and says ROLEX on the face and has a real leather strap or a steel / gold one. ;)

Francois, so now wonder he had a meeting on the night of the bash ... he was the one setting of my car alarm :uhoh:

Or was it someone that thought there was still another 5L tassies left.

Cardinal Puff, please delete your post - the GP moffies are on another thread.

Unless Francois MUST organise the party for you oke's .. :}

[Goffel]

[Deanw]

Hey Goffel!

About that genuine gold watch you sold me for $500. When I moved the minute hand, it said ROLUX :ooh: :E

PS: Should the 18k gold be flaking off like that?

PPS: You're right, the bargain did look better in the dark alley :cool:

[Cardinal Puff]

Think I'll just leave the post there to wind you up;). At least we have all the good rugby teams up here as well as the biltong, best looking women, best beer, ....... need I go on?

Have to get down to Slaapstad at some point to see if your mountain still exists or have the Vaalies already taken home too many souvenirs:E .

[Goffel]

:cool: Deanw.

So sorry Bru.

Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think that Gunzz was such a cheap-skate wearing a fake gold Rolux watch.
I mean,there is honour amongst thieves.
It was dark when I borrowed his watch.

I even checked out the hub-caps now and wallah. Plastic.

Can you imagine my dismay.AND he calls himself a chopper jock.

The $$$ bills in the wallet were even hand made.(That's when I realised that he was a chopper jock).

But it's ok.
A mate of mine,also a bergie,works at the photo shop and he hijacked a couple of the photo's from the other night.

This is big bucks day or their wives are going to kill them.
I mean,to have those photo's distibuted in their places of abode.
Skaadelik.Embarrassment of note.
Even my bergie friend/partner was embarrassed.

The best was of Francois Marais giving the brown eye out the Huey.He forgot the toilet paper was still stuck there.

Well it's time for my scooter lessons.(Wanna buy one).

PS:A Rolex is being sourced.I believe Bert wears the real-deal.So.
