I didn't know that the SA air force produces pilots this good. Its just unbelievable😢. Imagine what they could do with more advanced aircrafts like if we had f-16s and F-22s! My favourate was when the second radial powered aircraft was deliberately stalling and hovering with nose up. Absolutely spectacular. Im never missing an airshow again😅
Congrats, Vince, on your well-presented video! Living in Cape Town, I really miss our annual Ysterplaat Air Show, where I saw Spiftire, Shackleton and English Electric fly-byes. Can't help being a fixed wing fanatic, but realise the need for the chopper brigade! Keep up the good work!
Small footprint, powerful, durable in all weather, low cost maintenance, can operate in "rough" condition. This is the perfect MRF for the Philippine Air Force. Forget the uber expensive F16, this is a deadly but beautiful plane.
An American combat vet once said to me that US artillery pieces were far better than the G5's & G6's manufactured by SA. When asked why, he replied that US artillery shells from a single gun, aimed at the exact same spot, fell in a neat pattern around the target, while SADF shells all fell in the same hole.😏
The hours I spent being back up during the stages to get the Rooivalk airworthy was the highlight in my Airforce career, not to mention all the other from 17 and 19 Squadron. This is the first ever show I have seen it perform at and it pulled a very sensitive string there. I did not know there were pilots in ZA that actually still had valid competency’s to fly that baby. My hat is tipped to those two and would be nice to know whom they are. 😂😂😂 those flairs just took half of the country's budget for 2024
Hahahah, something the white government built that is still working, what a surprise!! Too bad for everything else such as electricity, railways, roads, hospitals, water infrastructure etc... 😂
@@ohlangeni No, 1998 was when multi-production was delivered to the SAAF. I actually have a photo of me sitting in one during the 1991 Air Show in Postmasburg and again during the 1994 Farnborough Airshow. It was done already in 1990, the only reason it took so long, was because of governmental bureaucracy.
I’m so tired with white people contribution of negativity, like if you don’t like SA anymore then why don’t you leave or start a civil war or something. At this stage anything so we can get this over and done with then continue with our lives, or not.
