MM on the Beech

[MM]

Will head out of Cape Town for Rand.

 

[Great Ozzie]

Nice choice of plane Mike (Baron on my shortlist of dream planes to own).

 

[MM]

Cut short to Kimberley for RW considerations...maybe pick up a few diamonds to make the stop worthwhile.

Rob, the Milviz aircraft model sure is "purdy". As important, the flight model seems fine at first glance. Good effort.

Mike, I hope you better navigating than I did on the first couple of legs out of FACT in the Bonanza. I was chasing NDBs when it suddenly dawned on me that I had all this other navigational stuff I could be using instead.

 

[MM]

Yes, Willy. All these new-fangled devices sure make the navigating a push-button affair. Where are the traditional stopwatch and beads of sweat?

Departing for Joburg.

 

[MM]

Milk run into Rand. Empty country gives way to farmland and then the hills of Johannesburg jump up on you.

To Skukuza Camp (FASZ) in the Kruger National Park.

 

[MM]

Safely into Skukuza, one of the main "camps" in the Kruger National Park. Here visitors may take advantage of the relatively posh amenities and enjoy trips into the animal rich parkland.

It is at the nearby Transport Dam watering hole that the spectacular "Battle of Kruger" took place earlier this decade. The amateur video, by David "Buzz" Budzinski, has become famous. If you have not seen this, I highly recommend taking the time to go through the full eight minute film on Youtube:

[MM]

North over the Kruger National Park and then Mozambique to the old British colonial capital Blantyre.

 

[MM]

Pleasant uneventful flight over largely unpopulated regions of Mozambique. Safely into high and cool Blantyre.

Just watched "Battle of Kruger." Wow! Not the outcome I expected. That was pretty amazing. Thanks for letting us know about it. How are you liking the Milviz Baron?
