Air Show 14 November 2009.
Entrance Fee: R50 per adult - children under 12 free.
AFB Overberg (TFDC) on the coast near Bredasdorp will be the hosting of one of only two air shows that will be presented by the SA Air Force in South Africa in 2009.
The AFB Overberg air show will be combined with a Fly-in. Numerous light aircraft are also expected to fly in to TFDC for the show.
AFB Overberg will be promoting its own part of the SA Air Force's aviation awareness program, Siyandiza, amongst the previously disadvantage youth of the region. Learners from the nearby area will be transported to the event to participate in this weekend.
The 2007 Air Show / Fly-in at AFB Overberg was rated as the best air show in South Africa by Aeroclub SA.
This year AFB Overberg hope to attract an even larger crowd that previous years.
SA Air Force aircraft such as the Gripen, Hawk, Agusta 109, Oryx, Astras (Air Force Display Team - Silver Falcons), Lynx and Rooivalk form part of what promises to be a spectacular air display program. Its also hoped that jet aircraft from Thunder City will once again participate in the program.
Apart from an air capability demonstration by SA Air Force aircraft, a “fly off” between a previous generation jet fighter and the SAAF's new Gripen fighter, is planned. This promises to be a spectacular demonstration of air superiority by the SAAF.
Various other civilian air show participants are also expected.
This aims to be not purely a military event, and the air show committee will rely heavily on civilian participation to make the event a resounding success once again.
Civilian pilots planing to fly in need to register beforehand, a R200 registration fee applies.
