Here are some images from the AFC Hermanus Slope-Fly 2008.

 The event was held on the 28-30 November 2008.

  • On Saturday the wind was W/NW and we flew off the W cliff.
  • Sunday started with a light E and swung to SE which built throughout the day.
A truly magic weekend enjoyed by all.

We were treated to a Warbird display on Sunday afternoon.

  • Bobby Purnell with his P51 Mustang
  • Kevin Farr with his P38 Lightning
  • Steve Muesel with his Sea Fury

All the planes were decked out with Invasion livery which made the formation flight-byes all that more special.

Each pilot revieved a gift voucher from Clown\'s Hobbies.
