you can see the gravel that you put down. So was it good flying weather in SA today.

No thats the old runway I started graveling and never finished, there older pics NOT from recent,,

the new strip is the wider one.

My Jab is SP500 6cyl. I am glad you enjoyed your flight flyerme, we might do it again soon .

 

For anyone interested in landing at Shirlock make sure you are up to date with short field procedures , as the runway looks very short as you fly over it and seems to get shorter on final.

 

Cheers Helmut

Flyerme, I got both amusement and great pleasure from your enthusiasm displayed in this post. You share Helmet's inspirational status to lukewarm aviators. Cheers

300m! Any chance of making that a ah.... folding fence?

yep fence is a folding fence/gate..its a 40 ft gate that has a latch either end and drops down.I used to drop it for landing the supercat but now don,t bother but happy to drop it down for any one..
