We have been trying to hack at it for a while, but believe it or not progress has been made.
For those who don't know, a number of pilots working in the Okavango formed a commitee with the intention of organising an airshow / reunion / fly-in in Maun, hopefully around April 2002.
The feedback ranging from individuals to top government departments has been superb.
From the airshow side the BDF (Botswana Defence Force), SAAF (South African Air Force) have shown a lot of interest in participating. We would be looking at seeing F5's, C130's, Casa235 and PC7 aerobatic displays (from both Air Forces). With some luck we may even get a display by the South African Rooivalk. We are approching various aerobatic display teams.
For the reunion - for any of you who have flown in the Delta for the various companies - we would love to try and get as many of the old boys (& girls) together again for a beer or two (to be followed by a party OF NOTE)
:D :D :D
We are making a big effort to make this reunion something very special. Would be good to see all those who have moved to somewhere else.
This will be the first international airshow in Botswana. We would love to host and welcome any pilots and flying clubs, or anyone else to this historic event.
Maun - still a frontier town, with some very interesting individuals may just change your outlook on life (for better or worse). :eek:
We are looking foward to any feedback and assistance to help us in making this a momentus and historic party (ooops sorry, event).
