Just swing by http://www.sssa.org.za for more details and your entry
forms .. if you have GBPs or USDs its like for nothing!



If you look at todays spot map it is showing 8m/s in the central interior along
the trough line. Time to make a couple of real flights in the Cirrus - shes
done 750 before a couple of times. Only part of the system that is perhaps
lacking is the current pilot. (most I was brave enough for last season was 250km)

Time to push it a little methinks.
