Wrestling Singlet Breast Cancer

debriefing


raoul, the participants invited to the course to himself, to videos, pictures of our stay to enjoy the culinary delights of South on the one hand and on the other hand presented.
quite a nice evening, including women that were, and have the evening enjoyed - but then continued with the Viewer as an extra-established group and have, for me to understand flying skills have not talked shop.
claus, a pilot colleague, has enjoyed the lecture and the culinary delights too - a nice addition to hot-dog-eating times and scrambled eggs, when the rest of the dear family elsewhere vacationing ;-)

summary of the evening:
it was a great experience the bush fly - and surely there will be a 'deja vu', maybe in July / August 2008, or 2009, or .......

Very Sore Left Foot After Drinking

forward-looking in that slips virus around ;-) reported

the feedback of some other readers is positive, the virus also seems to have it recorded - being considered as quiet 2009 in July or August, so our life is sympathetic, yet in the South Zimbabwe's footsteps, his neighbors were hatched,
[ excerpts from the 26th COURIER July 2007 ]

"Zimbabwe: Africa's former breadbasket and economic power is under the" failed states "now among the" Top 5 "

From the flagship state into chaos
If my parents were not too old for it, I would leave the country "said the woman, and looks at the empty shelves in supermarkets. "I do not know when it finally gives basic foodstuffs such as bread, milk and meat."
Zimbabwe catastrophic conditions prevail. Unemployment stands at 80 percent, inflation unofficially at 10,000 percent or more. The supply of food, electricity and gasoline no longer works. Price increases due to inflation, President Robert Mugabe declared illegal, leaving more than 2,000 business people arrested who did not comply with its pricing policy. The other entrepreneurs get less than they spent on their goods. Critical journalists and opposition politicians are arrested, beaten, disappear.
[.....]
Total collapse
But this is not the only reason both blacks and whites are increasingly panicky: Because of the ordered price cuts are the gas stations purchased empty. There are no more gasoline and therefore no Transport. The few who have jobs come back no more.
Many shops are closed because the power grid fails up to 20 hours per day. In the open shops the shelves are mostly empty. The price reductions Mugabe led to panic buying. The business owners have no money to fill the shelves again. The answer of the President: The shops, the lock to be nationalized.
The former African model state is among the top 5 in the ranking of "failed states". And hope for change is hardly in sight.
[.....]"

skyafrica with karl and still is in Brakpan, I can think of to try it again.
then use the acquired know is two year OE-pilot in a flying fist with South Africa's recognition, on its own, and simply enjoy the bush fly - you will see, perhaps as early as 2008 dreamed of, but may be so again ...... .

Cheaptickets No Longer Available

Raoul - his impressions

" Last but not least I give even m to a mustard. During the trip was I going on and that notebook-blog-stat. Not quite unintentionally, because I wanted to fully appreciate the enjoyment of the experience and focus to fly. The more I have the two hard-working Blog authors acknowledge that they have everything documented so promptly, thoroughly and accurately. The home remaining fan-club was thus constantly well informed about our African adventure. Fever was waiting for the next installment ... add

mustard is not so easy because my impressions are consistent with those of Philip and Wolfgang. I can because, at best, a few derscore Un and add call sign from a personal point of view:

underscore the absolute thickness earned the professional, especially but also warm reception. The aircraft combines virus-containing yet, even well over such a large margin as between F16-Top Gun and 200-hour greenhorn. If then a night to come ROYAL campfire and a drink ... (look Wolfgang, can be formulated as politically correct and I).

Africa is not only hot and jungle. Africa is sometimes cold and industry and mining. South Africa is in an vielerl respects quite different from Austria (no NA). The apartheid is abolished, but walls with high voltage wires d'up leave no doubt as to what social climate is s I find. Any halfway reasonable tourist knows how little there is to be autonomous movement. In any case, in the Great ßstadt. And there is big really big.

In the bush again, it is the lack of fence, which advises caution. Fences's there are many - of a total of probably tens of thousands of miles - but they do not separate one from the wild animals. One is with them on the same page. Who would do this in the zoo or circus? A tingling sensation ...

Underline value are different in South Africa and the flying conditions. In particular, the apparently less bureaucratic, purposive, practical and most self-dealing with aviation. Here are some examples:

- Flu gzeuge can take off and land on fairly flat, straight surfaces and if they are enough la ng around. In South Africa you can also practice the practical, including the inspection of the landing facilities by low flying over to the subsequent landing. What is a landing area in Austria last thing they need to - among many restrictions - to be used may, I shall not enumerate a lack of space to try.

- aircraft fall into undesirable flight conditions. In South Africa I've been practicing how to from this comes out. In Austria, I can only practice on how to avoid coming into it. Euge must Flugz

Thank God rarely, but sometimes but as a precaution or not

-landed - . That can only be trained hint in Austria. In South Africa, can the practice to the moment when you see if it's would have fit or not. This is a complete approach to inspection of the selected area in a few meters. can coordinate air traffic in remote areas is necessarily itself in South Africa to learn how this works very efficiently -

. In Austria, you talk to FIS, or lack of ability (frequency) or fear of the office rather not. (Fairness, have to mention it, however, that the transition from self-controlled, centrally controlled Ertem transport in South Africa have not solved optimally displayed)

I've learned a lot of what I was in Austria not or not could have learned so well. 20 hours in the air with landings to about 30 (very!) different places within a few days my normal usual flying experience is far superior. Bush Pilot training is really training, but with a lot of experiences and pleasure.

I would especially like Do not ignore the two South African - I can fly after all comrades Ian and Glen, to me professionally in their roles as accountants, teachers, safety pilot, navigator, camera man, guardian angels, guides ... say to side were. They were just Suuuuuuper and have this in itself is wonderful flying holiday then the crown, the Schlagobershäubchen with powdered sugar attached.

This is in no way diminish the contributions of all other parties who contributed both on the part of Sky Africa and in the group to the success of the action have. Without Wolfgang any case, would I not been to Africa.

Allen: Thank you! "

How To Make P90x Copies

some bush -strips














thank Carl for the photos.




















mabaligwe on the strip [last picture] land we could not. not because the road was so narrow, and cars drove, but next to the road were umpteen wart hogs directly next to the asphalt huge holes in the away dug - so 2 hazards that touched viecher you and the hole next to the narrow runway - nothing away as.

philip - the world is small, back in South ;-)

POST SCRIPTUM : Ordinary home ...

... was planned, with South African Airlines (JNB-CPT-LHR-VIE). In Cape Town, I had six hours stay to meet a prospective business partner. A colleague asked me where I was but already in South Africa. So of course I have agreed, particularly as it so should only be a first "sample".
Since this day is a Saturday, I will very easily invited into the house of the company owners Vivian and Mark. On the way there Vivian asks me why I'm actually in the South. I declare that I am with friends a "safari in the north against
d of Johannesburg" have made what Vivian said spontaneously that this was with "small aircraft" particularly attractive. My heart starts beating, and i ch dare the next step and tell them that we have done just that . I wanted to give this part of my R else not necessarily price, because you can never know how the flying is taken up by other (especially in the workplace).
The ice was broken. It turns out that Vivian and her husband are also avid SEP-pilot! Unbelievable, what a Chance. When I get to know Mark, we are after about 5 minutes in the topic Bush Flying deeply rooted, and it costs us both some effort to act in the business. When we finished, offered me my two G
astgeber a small tour of your flying club, where I of course do not hesitate long. We drive about 10 minutes to the nearby STELLENBOSCH AIRRIELD, a wonderful nice little place where we identify a few pilot friends of Vivian and Mark know en. Wonderfully, the supposedly "factual business meeting" degenerates into a friendly get-together at an airport. Who would have thought ...
was unfortunately the time to be tight for a small Cape Town to take flight, but in a wonderful fish dish and a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc (of course from the area) we decide to go together at the next opportunity to fly. I replied to an invitation to fly to Cape Town with a
he promote return invitation to a trip around Vienna, and we say goodbye to the mutual gene will, already because of our aviation business with all their might. What a motivation!
disbelief
bleached how life plays Sun In adopting Mark asks me again, how the this company called, has the Bush we have made the pilot course. "It's SKY AFRICA, that's where you have to go to. You will definitely enjoy it! "


Good bye South Africa. Stand by for now, will call you later ...

[Editor's note:
seems there is indeed a 'new' flying holiday ;-) to pave]

12in Mtx Jackhammer Subs

another view ....

the first flight briefing, and we have the South African acronym's terms made things difficult for, leading occasionally to the fact that we were more concerned with finding out what FREDA mean, BLUMPFICH, Blitt, etc., as the flying simple, so as usual, with the 'normal' check lists, according to either paper or to fly from the head.
especially our flying youngsters have there, justifiably suffered, must confess that at the beginning made me uneasy, because then 2 EXPIRING checklists parallel, 'my', as usual, and acronyms.

we have associated ourselves with the pilots and Karl on the last day for a beer or two discussed and suggested that if you have the new bush pilot, this would bring close to acronyms, this First advance sums, and perhaps in a letter to be discussed separately.
then you could prepare for it, and it would be less stressful than if the terms 30 minutes before boarding to a 'new' flying gets raised.
Karl and his boys had understanding, and you will surely find a solution, a solution can the aspiring bush pilot as it is accepted, and the bush pilot flying then adapts.

point is that the second 'feasible'.
when pilots get together in which case 4 on our side, and four of skyafrica, then are the individuals who all have different preferences to fly. everyone has their own , But all the ideas in the envelope of safety, are covered by checklists.
any attempt on the bush pilot aspirants page to give his best, on the other side detto, in instruktorren.
from the training knows maybe the odd one or more instructors who have a more or less large attractive potential to interact with rowing.
the arc of intervention ranging from flight instructors to conduct a hand even rate changes also 'own authority' to intervene on the other side of those only the first, if it could be really dangerous.
latter, the students at the beloved, because then the students just know he has it all by myself. the Teachers are simple arrangements, ie 'heading 240', 'height ft 3500', the students do it, if not then the arrangement is again, and then it usually goes.
to many flight students uncomfortable affected if the teachers have even 5 ° makes corrections, and the students do not know what is going on because no one has told him that he has any, and how many degrees he curves.
especially our flying youngster suffered because, while we the accompanying pilots do not assume bad faith, perhaps it is for them not to do, or it has been about 'complaining' no one ;-)
here we would be more 'tolerance' want a wish that we have also deposited. let the budding bush pilots fly just as it's are used, clear instructions are announced, and should intervene only really happened based security.

to group size:
our pilot group of 4, who knew each other before, we all fly the same club, was just right.
as we previously knew, there was also no interference with each other or atmospheric problems. the course is to make one or two people fly on group size, given the even taking place 'social' life before and after perhaps a little small.
would be optimal, a small circle of friends, as we are four pilots, together want to have fun.
as already contributing in another run, 'fellow passengers' are only likely to be from the course, the 'holiday' enthusiasm when they are very 'mitflug-cool' are. else would I woman friend / boyfriend, whoever in an open society ;-), home leave [ further comment to ].

all in all, the guys were working hard, it has given us and hopefully prepared for them a lot of fun - thank you karl and skyafrica - a highly recommended event, a bush pilot course - because you will then estimate the 'sheltered workshop' of the flying in the home.


PS: they are about 18 to 18.5 hours and PA28 182er 'pure' flown flight times, hobbs's were a little more, the book 172er flight about 2 hours more, 36 lines in my, and 54 landings in total!

PSS: It seems as the weather July / August although 'winter' is the best time to be, even if it occasionally Resch. but the second half of the course was pleasant when the sun came up it had just over 20 degrees, just right.
inconceivable in the South African summer, ie December / January to fly here, 40 ° and more and lots of giant hail storm filled from early afternoon;
therefore prefer something chill, and movies but the flight ;-)

PSSS: And a reminder, we are flying in south africa, as it may be quite possible that one or the other not quite work out, a 'timetable neckermann-' not up to the minute can be maintained, although the organization was great.
is therefore the published program a path, but not a target - with many factors play.
fly So relaxed setting and enjoy a 'laissez-faire' style of the course. does the rest with its sky-africa karl team - also with us worked it!

PSSSS: that all costs and what, given the hours flown, the 'all-inclusive' package with safety pilot 24-hour available, catering and affordable it is also clear. but it pays the price is an event that I would not miss in flying.

Figure Shating Cameltoe

A look back ....

which would have made anderst can?

decision was a good woman or girlfriend does not take away, not because there was-there ramba Zamba ;-), but because the course is set up like him, people who are interested in aviation is not a holiday to 'second 'impossible. one is the move all day, often at night time until 22:00, lectures, so yes it is there, the weather is not inviting for a swim - so we came to the unanimous conclusion, that's for pilots and flight fanatics. My wife hates already flying in the large, she is with me only once, and only reluctantly flown, spent or about 0.033% of all hours flown by me in a little flying ;-) - I hope I have not charged me .

philip has already broached in a contribution, there were two things we have suggested and run the best from our point of view could have ....
but more about tomorrow, now go to sleep, I sleep and bring me back to that is me in doha-wien-missed flight.

The Morning After Pill Ontario 2010

doha - Vienna, exhausting

after we were able to rest in doha make blog entries at last into the net, we went home in 0110 to the early direction, the A320, where the seats are not very far [ clip ], as in the a330 to 160 °, are reversible.
sleep was not going to have, not only because of the uncomfortable seating position, but also because of two children in the first series, which were quite unwell. I would too, if I would not have a seat ;-)
is somehow out to eat the neck is good, we enjoy campari-orange to eat, and everything is available, in contrast to jo_burg-doha flight, where a part of the food and drinks, and unfortunately some campari was destroyed in the start ;-)
wolfgang r. was so not his shrimps.

were on the powerful storm track, then across the Balkans, it was sunny flat, which ended approach to Vienna a nice trip [ clip ].

I Think My Sister Has A Dick

philip "day5: FINAL APPROACH BACK TO Brakpan"

One should stop when it is most beautiful. Strictly following this motto designed the way back from our Bush KUNKURU paradise. Since today all to no earlier departure is planned I make myself along the track on safari on our 600 acre farm for a morning run . This environment makes early morning exercise any difficulties n, already nac hours 10 minutes 3 giraffe trotting aesthetically close to me through the bush. Later I accompany wildebeest and other wild animals [Editor's note: the pulse rose to the space designed clock to 155, it's not too funny when a herd of gnu- nachtrabt ;-)] before I for on our RWY 35 "Final Approach" to hot shower Position ...

Following the adoption of John, the KUNKURU-Farmer and his team who have entertained us perfect, we are flying in formation towards Pretoria. As we learn later, is the influx into this area not so easy, why the rather strenuous formation variant was chosen. Although the crossing impressive about the center, including the presidential palace is, I would be - honest - an "Off Road" - a version with "dirt-strip landing" have preferred. Anyway, maybe I had expressed my desire even earlier time de ...

then goes on Joha's nnesburg center, in order RAND (FAGM) to l purchased. This rather large space has a nice flyer restaurant where we strengthen ourselves before we are back down to our very last leg after Brakpan si , and all sorts of aircraft roll past [ clip ].

With a little sadness we fly ine the last time the ERGO SLIME-DAM to e almost become a routine landing in Brakpan lie. We unload the Ge luggage and drive to the debriefing in a nearby pub. In a cozy atmosphere, we gave our FEEDBAC k, and our (two) proposals for improvements were sympathetic and gladly accepted. The positive aspect is predominant in our balance sheet but strong, and after 2 cool blond arrange ski we eden us by our instructor's. Thanks to Fred, Ian, Glen and Allister (who was no longer there)! And last but not least : Thanks to our Bush's father with strong Carinthian Wurz eln : KOAL, Bush flies is' a lei madness!

Over dinner at our Wirt'n around the corner, we sum up again, before we conclude our evening. The Bush gave us all an incredible experience. My colleagues Raoul, I and Wolfgang Wolfgang II were perfect travel companion, that is always a good conversation and a lot of fun was possible. Thank's, Friends! But above all, a big thanks to my dear wife that has held me back free and has helped me so to realize a dream! Great Satisfaction, for sure.

I am happy and can now dream ch certainly great. So, one last time on this trip :

Good night!
