	What does it look like inside?

	Colour maps of each region, with the flying sites marked. Just think, without this book, you might drive right past all these epic sites just because you didn't know they were there. The wind changes rapidly in some areas (especially the Western Cape) and it is very useful to be able to see which sites are close to you, to use as alternatives.		A wind-rose showing you which sites are flyable in any given wind direction. It's difficult to make sense of the South African weather, but it's all explained. You can't afford to get it wrong. Instead of being rained upon, you'll find cloud streets and sunshine, because you'll be in the right place for the season!

	Aerial photographs in each region to get you excited about where your adventure could take you. If you felt you got value for money with previous editions, you're going to be delighted with this one!		Photographs of the sites, and a comprehensive write-up on each. It's difficult to judge safe flying conditions in an unknown area - you just don't know what to look for. With the SITE BRIEFINGS it's like having your own instructor there on launch.

	What did they say about it? Hugh Miller, Editor, Cross Country Magazine "The guide reveals the country's glorious sites and also gives a host of handy flying tips, all dished out in a chatty yet very informative manner. The book opens with a whirlwind tour of South Africa, where Greg whets the reader's appetite. The possibilities for adventure in South Africa are not just revealed, they positively jump off the pages and bite you on the nose. Greg's writing is of a similar standard to that of Lonely Planet's scribes. How a pilot so into his flying had time to put together such a comprehensive, entertaining guide is totally beyond me." Darron Guberman, Go Fly Magazine (reviewing the 4th edition) The fourth edition of the Fresh Air SITE GUIDE is now available. It is still the definitive reference book on where, when and how to fly over 120 sites in South Africa (plus a few in Namibia and Zimbabwe). The newest edition is a huge improvement over the previous ones. It is now properly bound and printed in full color. The cover is shiny and bright and the pages are filled with enough color photos to make even the laziest recreational pilot hunger for more airtime. New sites have been added and all of them are now split into four groups: North, South, East and West. At the beginning of each zone is a full-page map showing major roads and the location of all the sites. This is a hugely useful feature for anyone planning a road trip to fly new sites. GPS coordinates are listed to help you find the launch in case the road signs don’t. Advertising has been included in this edition to pay for the big jump in quality. Fortunately for the pilot, the ads are few. Only every twenty pages or so. If you are an aspiring pilot you will likely want the name of that local school anyway. If you are a grizzled old vet, you might need that dealer’s number for a replacement line en route. Accommodation is listed next to a few of the more popular flying areas. Pilots familiar with the earlier versions will still find the useful bits intact. The windrose offers a quick way to see which sites favor what wind direction. The Airlore section is a cross between a ground school class and a comic strip. If you are an adventurous pilot who wants to see and fly more sites, this professional book is well worth the price.		Bennie du Plessis, Hang-glider pilot, South Africa "It is written in a very relaxed style and makes you feel like going out there and flying! This book is a must for every pilot's book-shelf." Andre Reyneke, Chairman, Overberg Paragliding Club (Cape Town) "Greg's site guide would make an excellent present. I recently bought it and have already used it a number of times to fly at sites I never knew about before. The most useful thing is that it has all the info about who and how to contact in order to fly at these different sites." . It's never been easier to get your own copy of the Fresh Air Site Guide.
