    Your post made me check the Ghosts out today, and I walked out the shop with a pair of black Ghost 13s. Felt good in the shop, tomorrow I'll give them a 10k and see how it goes. Time to retire the Asics (Gel Flux 4). 2200kms according to Strava.

    Seems like Poobie Naidoo's is back online again. Good thing, it's time for new shoes for me. Picked up a calf strain and then noticed that the left shoe is .5cm lower than the right!

    I'm sure these planes were parked up next to the flying school at Lanseria for years. I have an idea the Learjet may have belonged to Westjet. If it did, I believe it hit a dog on landing in Moz, and although it was repaired and flown back it didn't return to active service as the owner left the country shortly after. (Of course I may be mistaken, a frequent occurrence the days)

    The car rental return area at LHR is right next to the runway, and when those 747s take off you can only wonder at the power being unleashed. It's a great spot for aviation enthusiasts, especially as you're probably going to be on one of those beauties within a couple of hours of returning your rental.

    Wow, yes! That's a good deal on yogurt. But seriously, I wonder what that plane is doing in that neighborhood

    And that's why you should slow down for speed bumps...

    The OP was never about "over priced" - it was "what price?". My thanks to everyone who contributed in one way or another.

    I'm not on medical aid, and I need to see a dentist soon. Popped off a crown and shattered a tooth (separate events ) during lock-down. Dentists don[t generally advertise fees on their websites, and the one that does has fees that are staggering. Anyone here have recent experience regarding affordable dentists in the Jhb northern suburbs area?

    Nowadays I still go out and look for the planes now if I hear them.

    My Asics Gel Flux 4s are about o hit the 2000km mark so I guess it's time to dig into the piggy bank. What's the best bet for online at good prices? (edit: physical stores are also good if in Jhb northern suburbs). Totalsports has deals but unfortunately nothing in the size I need.

    I watched this years ago on DSTV, but somehow never saw all of the series and in the right sequence. Watching it again properly this time - this is scary aviation. https://youtu.be/k0MpP1hxyc4

    I'd enjoy a convo with Patrick and his mate in the right seat over a couple of tinnies. And I wouldn't like to pick up my keys for that baby after a service without a current Motorplan.

    Astonishing little glider and skills

    I'm seeing some stunning builds on YouTube, especially on the RAMY RC and RCHeliJet channels. Agree with the pricing issue. I had a quick look at the price of the bigger radial engines - nearly passed out. I could buy a decent BMW adventure bike for that kind of money.

    Will they or won't they? See if you can call it (without first reading the video description). nvm- the title gives it away, but it's an amazing video anyway

    Looks like SAA gets a reprieve? https://techcentral.co.za/government-looks-set-to-bail-out-saa-again/98486/ I'm holding thumbs for LWB.

    I've always had a "thing" for the bent wing birds (Corsair, F4 Phantom, etc) and these guys are rebuilding a JU87. Check it out - it's a great channel.

    This just does my head in.

    Big Jet TV. This YouTube channel has a tendency to suck you right in:

    I wonder why there are so many flights from the UAE? Seems like almost every day they come in numbers.
  24. Lotus
    So it's limited air travel from next week. I checked the Mango and Flysafair websites but no tickets on sale yet. (Aw c'mon, I can dream, can't I?)

    Another black eye for Boeing. Hope it goes well. https://techcentral.co.za/a-defining-moment-spacex-will-this-week-launch-humans-into-space/98267/
