[Ou grote]

No thunder city again, no Cheetahs and no american aircraft yet afaik.

So this will be even less entertaining than last years one.

Hopefully a Mirage F1 or III is airworthy.

This explains the fly over last night...

When living in Louis Trichardt, fighter jets were common sight, not so much in Cape Town.

 

[waynegohl]

There were 3 jets flying in formation last night.

That was a Gripen, made a tiny racket here.
Prefer a Cheetah or Mirage, they make the ground shake.
