STELLENBOSCH AIRSHOW 2022 - A GREAT RETURN

SA Flyer Magazine

|

April 2022

After a Covid driven two-year drought of airshows, the Stellenbosch Airshow has opened the 2022 airshow season with a bang.

STELLENBOSCH AIRSHOW 2022 - A GREAT RETURN

THE STELLENBOSCH AIRSHOW was held over two days: the Friday afternoon and the whole of Saturday on 26 and 27 March 2022.

Due to the remaining Covid restrictions, the airshow was limited to just 2000 ticket sales and these were snapped up long before the show opened.

With its mountain backdrop, Stellenbosch is one of the most beautiful airfields in the world, and the east facing crowd line is preferred by photographers. The Friday sundown flight by the Puma Flying Lions Harvards in the golden light of a perfect evening was unforgettable.

The Saturday programme was chock-a-block full and thankfully the fickle Cape weather provided a perfect autumn day.

THE TIGER SAGA

It's been a while since I put pen to paper (or finger to screen) about flying. And considering my rollercoaster career as a helicopter pilot-equal parts Top Gun and Mr. Bean—I thought it a crime not to share some recent escapades from the wild blue yonder.

THE FABULOUS CHIPMUNK My favourite plane

I have been privileged to have flown the most fantastic variety of planes - from the Denel Cheetah for an air-to-air refuelling mission, to a ninety-year-old Tiger Moth. So I suppose it's natural that I occasionally get asked an impossible question by a young bright-eyed aviation enthusiast: What's your favourite plane?
