Please have a look at this link:

All i can say is WOW!!!!!
To see the Lightnings and Buccaneers performing at shows would be something else, but a pity you would have to go all the way to South Africa to see them!!
What amazed me was the Lightning F6 did two supersonic passes over Bredasdorp airfield at 25000ft during the day....
Thunder City have done a marverlous job haven't they, it shows it can be done with high performance jet aircraft & safely.
The news also is the fourth Lightning at Thunder City to undergo restoration (the ex BAE Warton machine - silver F6) will hopefully fly around March 2004 and the plan at one of the shows in 2004 is to put up a 4 ship of Lightnings!!!
