The time to height record was broken.
Spoke to Mike Beachyhead and he was really trying with the sonic boom, his last attempt was @ 19 000 feet (note: not foot like so many say on the RT in SA, after 1 foot they are all FEET). I think it was an inversion layer in the atmosphere that was blocking the boom. Some old tannies were most probably cr@pping themselves in Hermanus etc thinking war had started.
It was great seeing the only airworthy Lightnings and Bucs flying. Unfortunately Roobie had a tyre blowout (it sounded like a gun shot when it went) on the black Buc while turning at the end of the runway on arrival on Friday and it was only sorted late Sat.
Looking forward to more of the same this Saturday.
