It's a warm (32 degrees warm) welcome to Longreach 747 (aka Mont Smith) to Sunny South Africa. I was on my way to "The Slide" alongside 03R at FAJS early on Sunday Morning (21st Jan) when Mont's flight passed overhead. We met up after he had disembarked, picked up a hire car and eventually he found me at "the slide". Super spot to catch the morning inbound flights into FAJS.

Thereafter, we headed our to Rand Airport for a spot of lunch (and beer) at the Harvard Cafe. After a super lunch, we headed off to the Transvaal Aviation Society where the SAA Museum is situated (on the other side of Rand Airport) and we had a super time messing about on some (recently decomissioned) 747's.




From Rand, Mont headed off back to FAJS to fetch Jason, Guys, enjoy your stay in South Africa and have fun
