Getting a Cessna in Grand Central

After some phone calls, I got a Cessna 172N with 180 hp for a good rate from Babcock Central Flying Academy (CFA).. Willie Marais and Meka (right) did a great job getting me the plane on short notice, and sort out all the formalities.

So, in the afternoon we left Bloemfontein to get to Grand Central (in Midrand, between Johannesburg and Pretoria). Weather in Bloemfontein was pretty bad for once, so we were glad to leave it behind.

This weird asymmetric water tower really helps finding the runway when approaching Grand Central.


And smack on the glide slope for FAGC (Grand Central).
