Post Is the SAAF flying again then?

Last I heard the S.A.A.F. didn’t have money for fuel to get Jets flying…however few weekend ago saw at RAF Cottesmore the brand new BAE Hawk trainers and SAAB Griffin with SA markings? Does anybody have any idea what’s actually going on?

They just had the SAAF markings on them, not actually in service. BAe have or are trying to do a deal with them I think.
However, they did send over a C-130 with an all girlie crew! I miss the boys and girls from 60 Sqn at Waterkloof. Sorely missed this year. Was not the same without the Castles, Hunters, wors and backed up with Leon Schuster!! '500 in my taxi'... Go well anyone from Waterkloof,
