Mustang stunt pilot who built over 150 data centres including a new R50 million testing facility in South Africa

Whether flying a trio of sedated lions in a Pilatus PC12, or donning a blazer and white collar to launch a R50 million data centre testing facility, Menno Parsons believes that downtime is not an option.

Parsons is the CEO of Master Power Technologies (MPT), a data centre infrastructure firm that built scores of facilities in Africa, and a high-profile member of South Africa's aviation community.

Yeah he's got quite a collection, most of the planes at smaller air shows are his, or his cars.
