Fun day in Pietermaritzburg

What a stunning day to be in the air. We were up by 7.20am on a flight plan to Pietermaritzburg for the airshow there today. Crystal clear air and sky and temps cool but warmed up beautifully during the day.

Getting our name out there - share if you will help : Durban Skyye Flight School - the one!

Great advertising for the Flight School as we add some branding to ZDL. I am also going to apply for Part 61 training for the school and will use ZDL for some PPL training when it comes through although our main focus will remain with NPL, light sport and microlight training. With the PPL training will also come seaplane training - this will be a first in South Africa offering seaplane training at a local flight school.

The key was to remove the underlying red stripe first.. a mistake we made on the other side which we had to fix afterwards.
