Tonto 1 #4 July 27, 2004 In SA you'll require a PRO rating. (Demo jump licence) Reasoning is you will land someplace downwind from takeoff - any you don't know where that will be. tIt's the year of the Pig. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wouldnt fancy having baboons descend upon me to help field pack. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
