Conties and Bloemendaaler lunch time outing - what a gem it was! Couple of spectators also enjoying the views and the green grass.

Gale’s cousin Misty came to visit this morning. Visibility down to just a few meters in places, had to be careful.

Its typical, where ever there's an airport the mist will come. Having grown up right next to the JS / ORT I always wondered if they did a viability study of the area before going ahead with the airport.

Apparently they did and the area it’s built in does not get big weather fluctuations.

Ma se hare 🫣

A quick zoom into that windsock way in the distance would indicate Gale certainly got up on the wrong side of the bed today!

The Highveld certainly not the prettiest in winter ..

OR T is a CAT II rated airport, so the (instrument) decision making point, in poor visibility, is >350m at 30-60m above ground level.

Having never landed a plane, I can’t imagine the speed difference between a bicycle and a plane, and having to make a decision at that speed.
