Now there's an interesting one!!
Wonder how he is going to get by the technicalities..........SA 321 Super Frelon, there is only one of its type on the ZS register,the corrosion on that machine from sitting out on the various ramps at FALA is pretty serious.
In the 80's and 90's there were a handful of Atlas and SAAF boytjies who kept them in the air at 15Sqd.Wonder where they are going to find drivers and licensed engineers?
SB and AD status of the airframe and engines should also raise a few eyebrows at our beloved CAA airworthiness department.
Good luck to the guys if they can pull it off, it will be great to see a flying"Putco" again.
