Mafikeng Airshow/Dog show
Hello all
I see nothing has been brought up about this yet. On Saturday there was and small airshow at Mafikeng. From what I heard the behaviour and control of Spectators was shocking.
The crowd line was over run with attendees all over the apron even occupying the runways. They were climbing all over static aircraft, notably CAA s citation. Coke cans were removed from the exhaust stacks of aircraft (Hate to know where the chicken bones went to). And then for good measure there were two veld fires started, burning several cars and endangering some aircraft. I think the fire dept display was possibly the most spectacular. And the list goes on.
Hell I am definitely there for the next one....

Was this an ASSA sanctioned Airshow? If it was not, then it makes a strong case for them and crowd control and all the safety aspects that go along with a professionally organised airshow.
