I have flown over the stunning Durban beachfront in my Sling airplane so many times, but never before in a microlight - so what better first time than with our own Aquilla Microlight airplane ZU-CCL which we bought for our Durban Skyye Flight School which opened this weekend.
Our approval from the Civil Aviation Authority came through on the 11th April and we negotiated permission from Virginia Airport to use the Airport as our home base, offering flight training and breathtaking introductory flights over the Durban beachfront, Golden Mile and to Umhlanga for the first time ever.
It's the first Microlight and Light Sport Aircraft Flying School to operate from Virginia and the first operator to be granted permission to fly in and out of Virginia Airport with microlights, so we are very chuffed with our achivement.
Here are some of the pics I took. I also made a GoPro video and I will be posting that shortly. Join our Durban Skyye Flight School Facebook group here.
