on the move and licensed...

What a feeling to get airborne again after more than a year of no flying!!
I came up to Johannesburg last week to prepare for my commercial license and instrument rating renewals. It also served as good preparation for the upcoming flight standardisation course. I got some valuable time in the Cessna 206 and some heads up from an experienced MAF training captain. All went well during the test with the South African Airways training captain and active MAFSA board member. There is always room for improvement, but everything was up to standard to revalidate my license.

Thank you for the prayers, I must say I was quite stressed, but a sense of calm came over me and checklists and procedures returned to memory, it can only be an answer to prayers. Please keep on praying, for safe travel and more calmness and vigilance as the flying will only intensify from here onward. Visit the blog for updated prayer requests.

Thank you for your partnership as I prepare to help MAF overcome barriers, change lives and build God's Kingdom.

  1. Baie geluk met die suksesvolle hernuwing van jou lisensie. Die tyd vir jou vetrek na Nampa sal baie vinnig gaan na paasnaweek en die die volgende langnaweek.
    Die huis is reeds baie stiller sonder jou hier en ons mis jou. Ons weet dit sal verder ook goed gaan en vir jou lekker sal wees - omdat dit jou passie is om self 'n verskil te maak in hierdie wêreld en in God se koninkryk.
    Ons bid voortdurend vir jou bediening en werk by MAF.
    Seënbede en groete.

  2. Die tyd (en afstand) het toe verbygevlieg né, letterlik en figuulik. Bly is nou al lekker tuis in jou woonstel in Nampa en 3 dae grondskool reeds verby! Geniet dit.
    Daar is fout met jou Blog URL in emails, moontlik die rede vir min aksie en 'followers'? Plaas die URL ook prominent op die Wings4Christ Groep op Facebook se hoofblad. Dit was moelik om te vind.
    Sterke vir jou en seën vir die werk wat MAF doen.
