Now this one was an AIRSHOW - I've never seen so many aeries in one spot in SA before - I counted 71 different aircraft ! :shock: What a nice surprise. I understand that the intention for the day is to give folks who have never flown the opportunity to go for a flip. This also coincided with the monthly SAAF Museum flying training day and most of the flying started late morning and lasted the entire afternoon with the added bonus of good afternoon light for photography.

So let's start.

SAAf A109LUH #4025 :
