About Me

My photo
Pretoria, Gauteng, South Africa
Growing up as a child, my sister joined the airforce and started a career as a photographer.I was always fascinated with her cameras, and when ever I got the chance had it in hand. Inevitability growing up around aircraft, whether it being on operational bases, or at airshows, or just visiting museums, with my father being a airforce veteran, and my sister a photographer, the bug bit me! I invested in my first SLR camera, that being a Canon EOS 450D, later on in 2011 I upgraded to a Canon EOS 7D. I continue to challenge myself and grow my skill.

SAAF Museum flying day Saturday 3 March 2012

Like is customary the South African air force museum hosted their monthly flight training day on the 3rd of March, but this one was a bit different....
The museum had a new commander in the form of a gentleman named Mike O'Connor, not knowing much of the new officer commanding I was very surprised to find him a real gentleman, and with a amazing passion for his job.
Always Friendly, and willing to talk and assist the public where ever possible.
I could only wish him well in his new adventure.
I think he is doing a brilliant job, building up the museum and preserving our country and air force's aviation heritage.

The flying day was one with a difference since the museum invited some non regular visitors over in the form of a beautiful Yak, Piper Cub, Cessna 170 and a couple of other awesome birds, not to mention having all the regulars there yet again, with excitement building up to the upcoming May 12th Air show!

Also worth mentioning is that on the day they celebrated the 100th anniversary of the first ever successful sky dive!

Below are some of my photos from the day, I hope you enjoy!
As always please feel free to comment.
