THE skies above Gauteng are set to roar to life as the Wonderboom Airshow returns to Wonderboom Airport on Friday, November 15, promising a high-octane flying festival showcasing the best of South African aviation.

For those new to airshows, it is not just about planes flying by; it's a celebration of flight. Attendees can expect the thunder of jet engines, the artistry of formation flying, and the thrill of seeing everything with wings - from vintage warbirds to state-of-the-art airliners - all performing in one aerial showcase.
