Guess what..?

Happy Tuesday.

The Jet A1 arrived before the sun flowers had a chance to grow, and would the chap who called me about the bio-plant please call again.

An extract from the African Pilot Newsletter about the Durban Virginia Airshow will let you know where Graham was this last weekend.

· Another interesting event was the late Mike Hartley’s wife, Ruth, doing a tandem jump with Graham Field in memory of her husband who was a huge part of Virginia airport for many, many years and was a legend in Durban general aviation. Ruth is a very brave lady indeed – thank you for your courage and inspiration.

Rose is no spring chicken by the way!

This is not Rose, but if this doesn’t make you want to do a Tandem Introductory Skydive then I don’t know what to say - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxu9K8MPp_M Book NOW, don’t delay!

== Quote of The Week ==

The most important lessons in life can never be expressed in black and white, but must be experienced. Experience is the greatest teacher. -- Benny Lewis

== The Ranch SkyDiving Boogie and Symposium 5^th to 9^th August ==

The energy and support builds!

Our aim is to have a safe efficient fun skills building Skydiving Boogie and an Informative Symposium at a luxurious venue in a beautiful province with ideal weather conditions and to introduce as many people (in the Polokwane area, and from afar) to what skydiving and parachuting in the 21st century is all about.

As part of this event, we aim to train and qualify Six South African Females to skydive over 5 days, with graduation (from the 10 level internationally recognized Accelerated FreeFall Course (AFF)) on National Women's Day. The theme: "Women in High Places". Students are being sought and selected and can be self-funded or sponsored. Sponsors are also invited to put forward students for selection.

We will have a number of highly experienced freefall instructors and tandem masters available to take people for a tandem introductory skydiving experience. There will be public areas, displays, talks, and 5 days of active skydiving and parachuting.
