Running out of airtime

My Authority to Fly expires at 268 hours and with today's flight to Pietermaritzburg we're on 256.. so I did a few calculations: we want to do a night flight to Margate on Friday for dinner (and back), plus fly with James (Kate's boyfriend) to Howick on Saturday to do the midlands meander with them; I need to get the plane to Tedderfield in Johannesburg for the service and to re-earth the nav lights and perhaps do my first Commerical Pilot's Licence exam, so that leaves like 1 hour left which co-owner Llewellyn is claiming for a lesson tomorrow. And then time's up!

With the service, the fresh Authority to Fly will be issued and we will be good to go again.

Wow, the weather in Durban has been stunning... got to take advantage before the wind and rain hits us in Aug/Sept. It was a bit hazy today en route to Pietermaritzburg for lunch but that was due to the number of grass veld fires around with the dry weather.

Had some text-book landings today, and great flying
