On Saturday 6 July the Elders Flight organised by Felix Gosher, an amazing man who has incredible vision, was a cracker with so much variety and emotion. To see more than 100 civilian aircraft parked at the most famous SAAF Museum home base now known as the SAAF Mobile Deployment Wing (Swartkop) was extraordinary and most welcome as the Chief of the South African Air Force commented. I was fortunate to be in apposition to interview Lieutenant General Wiseman S Mbambo on more than one occasion at this prestigious aviation event, together with Felix Gosher. In addition, Brian Emmenis and his Capital Sounds team presented an exceptional platform for the sound and entertainment of this unique aviation event. I am always impressed at Brian’s ability to create the story and atmosphere at any given aviation event, not only in South Africa, but all over the world and the Elders Flight was no exception. The special camaraderie between the organisers, the SAAF, CemAir volunteer pilots who flew the elders, EAA South Africa, members of the media, a special mention of the numerous sponsors and the many helpers behind the scenes was extortionary. The result of this exceptional event that started as a very cold winter's day with an icy wind from the south, but gradually settled down to an incredible blue clear sky was a day to remember at its very best with aviation as the winner. Thank you, Felix, for your visionary methodology to create the most special aviation experiences and special moments for all of us who believe in your wonderful contribution towards South African aviation. On behalf of African Pilot and our team present today - you rock!Videography & Photography by Athol Franz, visit http://africanpilot.co.za for more info.

The opening speeches by AERO management, City of Tshwane councillors and the keynote speaker Rodger Foster were all encouraging in that they all looked forwards to this year’s exhibition as well as the future of AERO South Africa exhibitions at this great venue. Although cold in the early mornings, fortunately the weather over the three days was clear with crisp blue skies. I would like to thank Fredrick Kotze for flying me in the family Robinson R66 helicopter with the door off so that I could take pictures and video footage of the show in progress.Videography by Athol Franz & Björn Bottin, visit http://africanpilot.co.za for more info.

After spending this past weekend attending the Polokwane airshow, I was impressed with the organisation and welcoming that the members of the media received from the organisers. The reality is that from a continuity perspective all airshow organisers should appreciate that the more favourable the media reports are, the more likely positive reports and excellent pictures that will be published. In South Africa most airshow organisers are good at what they do and of course I am aware that often this is a thankless job, but now and again airshow organisers and officials at these events behave in an anti-social manner and this will cause serious damage to their next event due to negative reporting. What also made this airshow unique was the ad hoc debrief at the hotel where most of the pilots, media and officials stayed for two nights. At this spontaneous de-brief that was attended by around 30 people, I was impressed by the significantly positive comments that came from different persons involved in the production of the airshow. I sincerely hope that other airshow organisers will start taking my comments seriously and up their game for the next airshow they organise.Videography & Photography by Athol Franz, visit http://africanpilot.co.za for more info.
