Last weekend saw one of the club’s annual activities taking place: fly a derby around neighbouring airfields.
This year we had 6 gliders with a tow plane and 6 motor gliders in tow leaving MGC for Potchefstroom Gliding Club. We spent a night at the Potchefstroom gliding club and the following night at the Parys gliding club.
Our hosts spoiled us with farmer's portion steaks, massive breakfasts and a place to throw our mattresses on the floor.
Late evening camaraderie with several glasses of w**e and many shared stories further bonded our tight community.
This has been a regular spring event since 2016 and is a perfect environment to experience safe cross country flying for the newer pilot.
We had two landings away from our destination and instructor Mark Kopel got the ‘man of the match’ for safely landing in a ploughed field.
The Brits flying club tagged along bravely and were great company in the sky and on the ground.
Instructor Martin Lessle did the ground crewing and made sure that it was a safe and fun event.
Thank you to Mark Holliday for organising this special weekend and to the photographers for capturing the memories.
