Arthur Gemperle

Arthur, a retired mechanical engineer spends his life enjoying aviation to the fullest.  He started paragliding 9 years ago and logged over 1000 hours.  Then he decided to look for an aircraft where he could land on wheels & not on his feet anymore. He bought a Magni gyrocopter, which Arthur believes is the ultimate flying machine.  Arthur still enjoys paragliding as a quiet way of flying and has been flying the gyrocopter for 5 years,  a total of almost 2000 hours in the air. Arthurs longest flight covered a total distance of 6500 km, which is equivalent from Johannesburg to Cairo one way. Arthur always enjoys having a passenger to share the MAGNIficent flying machine & flight experience.

Tristam Burrell  

2 April 1961 - 18 June 2006
Tristam started flying in 1991 and owned 1 of the largest Paragliding Schools in South Africa, he instructed full-time in Paragliding, Powered Paragliding and Prara-Trikes.  Tristam was extremely passionate about his sport.  His enthusiasm has encouraged hundreds of people to take to the sky.  For many people it changed their lives and inspired them to become pilots, for others it was an experience that they will never forget.  It was Tristam's passion for flying that inspired me to start Sky Adventures.  I wanted to create opportunity for others to experience the excitement and enjoyment of flying.  Tristam was a spiritual person who made everyone feel good about themselves.  He will be greatly missed; it is remembering his words of encouragement, his support and his love for flying that has inspired me to continue to follow my dream.

"A more special person, one could not find.  To know you - was to love you"

"I look up to the sky and smile; I know that you are smiling at me too"

(Wendy Richards)
