Wedding bells

I'm sneaking some photos in to my aviation blog here of my son's, followed by my daughter's weddings which were huge events in my life within the space of 5 months. Such exciting times!!

Lisa and my son Mark get married on the 12th December 2015

Mother-in-law flight

Introducing my daughters new mother-in-law, father-in-law and American family - I took them all for a flight over Durban so they have our amazing scenery to remember along with the beautiful wedding photos.

White water flying

April was a busy month for me as my daughter got married and we had a whirlwind few days before as we took her new American family up to the Berg to get to know them and show them this magical part of our country.

I managed to get some flying in with students and enjoyed as always the fabulous scenery our coastline offers. We did some low-level flying over the breakers north of Durban which is exhilarating as we sweep along just above them.

This photo is taken from just above my house, giving a slightly elevated view of where we are in Durban
