RIP Abel
Some members may have
experienced difficulty opening the link to the article on
Abel's accident. The link has been corrected, and we apologise
for the inconvenience.
It is with sadness that
we mourn the death of a popular and well-liked member of
our Kitty Hawk family in this issue. As you know by now,
Abel Pienaar (64), better known as "Oom Ses" was killed
on Thursday, 12 May 2016, when his plane crashed shortly
after take-off from Kitty Hawk.
Our condolences
go out to Abel's friends and family. Our thoughts and prayers
are with you in this difficult time. Please click

for a recent article on the accident.
We were privileged
to assist the SAPS with their aviation training at Kitty
Hawk recently and I'd like to thank everyone at Kitty Hawk
for their valuable contribution.
We also share an
article in this issue on safety, which really is everyone's
concern. I would like to urge our members to take heed of
the important information contained therein. The safety
at Kitty Hawk depends on all who use the facility and I
know we can count on our members' cooperation.
Rezoning in the final stages
As you know,
the rezoning process has been underway since March 2015.
We seem to have crossed most of the hurdles in the City
of Tshwane rezoning process. The outstanding item
is approval by Gautrans in terms of our access point due
to the fact that Boschkop road is earmarked for a high mobility
road with few intersections.
We hope that the rezoning
process will be completed in the next three months so that
the development of additional hangars can provide Kitty
Hawk with funding going forward.
Lastly, we bring
you some photos of our RV Raptors team in action. Well done
guys, you do us proud!
All the best,
Frank
