South Africa - Schweizer 300 CB(i)

[R1Tamer]

I know I could spend and hour or so on the web and probably find this out but this is a world wide forum so I figure borrow some expertise. I'm in Durban, South Africa Mar 6th - Mar 11th and would like to do an hour or two in a Schweizer 300 just to keep my hand in and enjoy an aerial tour for a project there in 2010. Can anyone recommend a couple of places to try. I'm a JAA & FAA CPL(H) holder looking for flights with a local instructor.

Thanks for any advice,

try wwwl.starliteaviation.co.za I am not sure if they have a schweizer but they will know who has - if anyone.

R1Tamer, I did exactly what you're planning a few years ago. I could not find anyone who operated a Schweizer in Durban; the nearest (!) was Pretoria!

However, instead I got some good value instruction and quality flying in a Jet Ranger with NAC at Virginia Airport. Starlite never returned my emails!!!

Cheers

Sorry pal no 300's opperate in Durban.

Companies that can help are:

JNC helicopters
NAC helicopters
Starlite


You can get a great deal at the moment through somes guys who opperate a Robby 44 through JNC. I think the reg is ZS-PLI


hope that helps
