This year’s SAAF museum air show at the air force base at Swartkop on Saturday proved to be a huge hit with both adults and children.

“It is our second time here, my daughter is a huge fan of the show, she adores planes,” attendee Rabelani Tambani told Rekord.

Some drove from as far as North West and Bloemfontein to attend this annual event.

This year’s show was held under the theme “our indomitable spirit”, which encapsulates “the remarkable journey of an institution that has earned its place as an air force that inspires confidence”, said the organisers.

Through this air show, the SAAF aims to create awareness of the exciting world of both military and civil aviation.

Another fan Hugo Kriel said he and his family never miss the air show.

“We love it here, the airplanes, the sound and the smells,” he said.
