Touch-and-go at King Shaka

On our way to King Shaka International for a quick orientation visit

Gotto wash the plane after each sea-salty flight

The Easter crowds were already at the north coast/Umhlanga beaches for the long weekend holiday

In preparation for our April trip to Mocambique I wanted to do another flight into King Shaka International - this time the wind was blowing from the south so I was allocated runway 24 to land on. Was all going fine until I couldn't make out a word the ATC was saying, even after repeating, but the confusion was overtaken by a clearance to land, so in I went whilst a smaller commercial flight waited patiently for me to cruise in at a relatively slow 70 knots and then clear the take-off path.
