I have only one thing to say.... get a spot on the roof!! :lol: I can still remember when I stayed in Valhalla, the chimney was my spot. I resided there from 1988 till 1994 and boy oh boy was that airspace busy! DC-3's, DC-4's, Allos, Pumas, Kudus and Bosbokke were all stationed there. It's a pitty digital cameras were not available those years... #-o

This series of pics includes almost every aircraft type currently in the SAAF fleet. \:D/ =D> \:D/ =D>
Off the top of my head only the Rooivalk, Lynx and 21Sqdn's VIP jets (BBJ, Falcon 900, Falcon 50 and Citation) are missing.
