I took Louis for a touch-and-go at King Shaka International, a 5-minute flight from our home base at Virginia in Durban, last night. The sky was clear and the Virginia Tower was closed but King Shaka had no problem allowing us a quick visit. The wind was almost negligible but they routed us to runway 24 from the north and thereafter we did some landings at take-offs at Virginia from both sides - both 05 and 23. We also flew along the coast past the city and refinery and climbed up to 2 500 feet almost touching the clouds which looked dark and mysterious by night. Awesome!
