| There was virtually no wind and after a downwind take off from Runway 29 we headed out over the wide yellow valley - PHOTOs Malcolm McCrow | |

 |
| Parabolic dunes predominate, but there are also star dunes in the area generally referred to simply as Sossusvlei - PHOTOs Malcolm McCrow | |

| Sossusvlei (left) where the Tsauchab River is absorbed by the dunes some 60 km from the South Atlantic Ocean; on this occasion time was against taking the option of a longer flight out over the coast - PHOTOs Malcolm McCrow | |

| Downwind low level pass over the runway before making a climbing 180 degree turn to short finals for Runway 11 - PHOTOs Malcolm McCrow | |

| The low level pass helps to ensure the runway will be free of game when landing - here a springbok grazes less than a hundred metres from the apron - PHOTOs Malcolm McCrow | |
