Thumbs up Awesome!!!!!!!!!

I watched the flypast on TV. I am very sorry that I was not there to see it first hand as I was at the Rugby World Cup. It looked absolutely awesome!

At SAA there are a bunch of pilots who are supported by the management who are given opportunities to do these fly pasts. They really do make their mark. They are talked about LONG after the event, worldwide (Rugby World Cup Flypast by Laurie Kay) They promote aviation and a huge sence of national pride.

The formation was excellent, the 340 lead and the two 400's in vic. Height? Safe but with an aluminium overcast like that you do not have to get that low to be impressive. I have not seen photos yet other than TV. I am sure that they should appear soon.
