And here we are. An international match. Russia’s Moscow FC vs South Africa’s Jomo Cosmos. It’s 10 minutes in and it’s 0-0 but you can see from the crowd that is now 25 strong, this game is riviting! Reporting to you live from the stadium.
Oh crap. Look I can’t keep this up. Its pants! I think we are going to blow this popcorn stand and join the rest of the world watching Obama’s inauguration.
January 17. A spectacular day out flying.
Plan of action: Take off from Port Elizabeth, fly to Willowmore, fly to Outshoorn, fly to Mossel Bay, fly to George and return to Port Elizabeth. As per usual with the new starter airline, Barefoot Airways, it doesn’t usually end up as planned. But that’s the beauty of it. Just go with the flow and enjoy the views from the front row.
Barefoot Airways consists of two pilots, namely Hoox (myself) and LNELL. Passengers are of course welcome and for this trip the lucky soul was a great girl, J9, who I cornered into saying yes just the night before at a party while she was hallucinating from the effects of a large dose of penicillin and other potential narcotics (all prescribed I have been assured). I gave her the call at 7:30 waking her up and telling her she had to be at the airport by 8:00. Very cruel I know but would you believe it, she made it on time. She can show you girls a thing or two about getting ready in under 2 hours! All that was left now was pre-flight inspections of the aircraft and passenger briefing.
The passenger briefing was short and sweet. “Rule 1 : No shoes!. Rule 2 : Don’t talk while we are talking to Air Traffic Control (ATC). Rule 3 : Take loads of photos and have fun! This is a list of our expected destinations however this can change en-route. Right lets go.” Like I said, pax briefing is short with Barefoot Airways.
Pictures speak a million words so I am going to shut up now. Most of these photos were taken by our ultra keen pax, J9. She also makes a great photographer. Go girl! Thanks.
