What our passengers say about us

"… SA Flyer would like to thank Neil for his hospitality… He runs a smooth operation with an unbelievably relaxed and accommodating nature. Book now – it is definitely an aviator's trip of a lifetime."
Willem Grobbelaar, SA Flyer Magazine

"… my observations were that this year was the best ever. Neil has certainly managed to provide the essential ingredients for the campers, and I for one enjoyed the comradeship around the campfire in the evenings.

When it comes to managing guests, the ladies namely – Carolyn, Trish and Nancy are wonderful with their seemingly endless patience. Neil's team of Brian, Anthony and Dix are awesome hosts in the campsite."
Athol Franz, African Pilot Magazine

Dear Neil
We would just like to thank you and Brian, Trish and Carolyn for all the amazing effort you guys put in for our trip. You are so well organised, what a pleasure to arrive there and have our tent pitched. As for the food and washing, well we were shocked as to how you have managed to put together such a slick operation. A big thanks to Dix for all the fun it was fantastic. We really enjoyed every min.

Saturday night the South Africans had their musical comedy show. I met Neil, the tour organizer who provided such a quick friendly answer when Georgene and I wrote to him in South Africa. Dix, the performer is outstanding, the show was fun, there was a subdued passage where he spoke of the tragedy on the runway and the entire group had a minute of silence, absolute silence.

Hi Neil and Carolyn,
You have no idea how I enjoyed the week with you guys at Oshkosh.
Not only was I gobsmacked at the USA and how the Americans do everything bigger and better but I also had the chance to bond with all the Boere again. Haven't done that in 12 years now!
You and your team do a fantastic job, well done. Give Trish a big hug for me, she was a real honey.
All the best and thanks again,

I know it is a few weeks later but I would just like to say thank you for the Oshkosh trip. I really enjoyed the time in the camp and made a few good friends. I'm saving up so I can go again in two years time,
Thanks,
