Blouberg, Blaauwberg, Cape Town – South Africa

One of our readers recently went on an amazing microlight flight over Melkbos, Blouberg and the surrounding areas. Judging by the photos, this is most certainly something to experience

Taken from Aquila Microlight Safaris web site,

Open cockpit microlight flying is undoubtedly the closest you will ever come to experiencing the true magic of powered flight. Considered the motorbike of the skies, a microlight is the ultimate flying machine.

Aquila strives to give you not only the joy of flight, but also to make your entire flying experience a memorable one!  From the original Luftwaffe flight suit, leather cappie and goggles you will wear during your flight, to the eccentric characters who will pilot your aircraft, you will never forget your magical microlight experience!

Here are some of the incredible photos! What a difference seen Blaauwberg and Table Mountain from just a few feet above the ground, almost looks like a totally different place.  Would you go flying? Leave us your comments below!
