Some of the photo highlights of my Year 2009

With only one month to go before Xmas one tends to reflect back on the year gone by, Good and bad and then take the positive’s and one will always be amazed at what you were blessed with. So take a moment and relive some of those special moments with me.


On the 3rd Jan 2009 the PSS Rockwell Aero Commander took to the sky at Volksrust for a perfect maiden flight. (Pictures taken by Izak Theron.)
Click on the any picture to open it in a new window and then click again on the picture to zoom biger or zoom smaller.









In April the three cross country flights with the E-Tsotsi 2M electric glider, resulting in a 72 km by road and 63km straight line SA Distance Record.












All the pictures that I took too many to display at once on the blog of the nature and surrounding arias and oom Louis place at Vloksrust but here are some of many of them.









And at last the picture that got on to the front cover of the RCSD October 2009 issue
