slartibartfast Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Wait a minute - you joined the Nile High Club? Cool. Seriously though, thanks for the photos. There are some excellent and interesting shots there. Keep 'em coming. Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZULU1 Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Kosi Bay Northrn KZN This photo is of the Kosi Bay world heritage site, the fish kraals are visible and used by the local tribes to spear fish on the return of the tide. They swim in and get caught like a "valve" on tide turn. This was taken before the ban on low flying over these parks was enforced. The area is rich in Elephant and the rest of the big five. Truly a wonderful opportunity to fly the region and I believe that it is a good thing it has been enforced..The previous pics of Ponto are about 5 kmms further North. Glad you are all enjoying them will dig up some more.. Cheers Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZULU1 Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Ian I have cleared my Inbox Thanks all for the comments, this is a picture of the Kalahari, I flew a few years back through it in mid winter. Not far from this point I was fortunate enough to view a Bushman. That was a truly memorable flying moment as they are living still in the natural environment..No taxes, internet nothing..Where did we go wrong ??This is the North Western Cape bordering Namibia.

ZULU1 Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Trike over Inanda Dam KZN I particularly like this shot as it really depicts the wonderful freedom that trike flying gives us, I took this on flim and scanned it and only recently changed to Digital. For our aerial work I use a FUJI 9500 do to weight after a few hours usage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZULU1 Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Well might as well cover all aspects of flying.. A tandem jump at La Mercy KZN north coast... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZULU1 Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 This is the saddest pic I have taken This was my best mates Zlin Savage from the Czech Republic, it had completed 15hrs and we had just completed his avionics. In the background is the remnants of the hangar. Very sad for all at Cato Ridge. This plane was insured, I have posted this to show what can happen. Not a pleasant posting but just take car in all aspects of aviation. It doesnt stop when you land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slartibartfast Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 [ATTACH]1399[/ATTACH]The office, russian style. I couldn't believe the lack of visibility there appeared to be in this photo, so I looked for a side shot. Check this out. How do you see forward in this thing? There's a bunch more images here. Good one Bruce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Robbins Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Polikarpov I-153 Yeah, you're right, forward visibility was a problem. VFR navigation must have been a right royal pain in the @!*&rse! The I-153 actually entered production several years after this I-16 monoplane. [ATTACH]1407[/ATTACH]. In both aircraft the cockpit sides came right up to pilot's shoulder level [ATTACH]1405[/ATTACH][ATTACH]1406[/ATTACH] On the I-153 and the top wing cut back down to the fuse in front of the pilot to give him a gap to see through. [ATTACH]1404[/ATTACH] Once flying in a level attitude the display pilot said the vis wasn't too bad, but landings were "tricky". In flight the Polikarpov's are fast, agile little planes, with a fantastic flat low pitched exhaust note from the 1000 or so round horses up front. "Harley Davidson on steroids" was the most popular comment. The Polikarpovs and the Lavochkin LA9 were probably my favourite display aircraft.
