It was to be one of the best air shows I have ever attended, and I am doubtful that it will be out done soon in South Africa. With over 200 of some of the most wonderful and rarest aircraft in attendance, from world war one, right up to the fourth generation SAAB Gripen, and everything in between, it was a show for young and old, hardened aviation lovers or first timers.
The validation flights took place the Friday before hand, and I managed to sneak some good shots while doing some other duties:
The show started with the South African military health service marching band, followed by some para-
gliders and microlights flying by, before the show was officially opened, after that, everything happened at a amazingly fast, well choreographed pace, but instead of boring you to sleep with the details, I will let some of my selected photos do the talking, but before they do, I would just like to give a special mention to all the special people that made this wonderful day safe, and a breath taking success, like Col.Mike O' Connor(OC SAAF museum) Kobus Kapp, George Stone, Col. Francois Hannekom (show director) and the list goes on and on and on!THANK YOU ALL!
Here is a selection of some of my shots:
