so rode in town yesterday. past the KPMG Place building. They potentially have changed the name, as they have put duct tape over the poster where the name used to be. Or am Iooking for a conspiracy theory

I was wondering who was moving into that fugly building ...........

Probably because the SAAF only have old aircraft... ;)

 

Ok, not strictly true, but it's even sadder with the new stuff (like Gripens) being mothballed because we don't have enough type rated pilots

I saw a Gripen flying out of Bredasdorp the other day. Wanted to dance in joy, but my client there wasn't as awestruck by it as I was. They are obviously more used to seeing military aircraft than I am.

Would the grammar nazi please be so kind as to build AN EFFING bridge, walk over it and crawl back under it?

Edit: added a smiley in the hope that no grammar Nazi's catch feelings without realizing that I are can like to be joking.

I watched a formation of 4 x Luftwaffe Tornado jets fly over my house around Feb this year on their way to TFDC Overberg at Bredasdorp for the annual exercise with the SAAF and SA Navy. It was quite spectacular to see...and hear!

You also reminded me of the last time I was there for the bi-annual fly in at TFDC. It was when Dave Stock sadly crashed his English Electric Lightning after he suffered hydraulic loss due to a fire in the engine bay, which resulted in loss of control of his control surfaces. A guy standing by me heard him over the radio say that his ejection seat had failed. Sad day.
