The fly-in held at the Stellenbosch airfield, drew a fair crowd of enthusiasts who came to share the day with display pilots and fellow aviation enthusiasts.
The weather played along nicely, although a strong South Easterly wind meant flying displays for the day ended at around 4pm.
The flying program included the following aerial displays: Pitts Special, a glider display, Chipmunk trainer, aerial displays by two local Tigermoth bi-planes, a Gyrocopter display, a Aero Vodochody L-39 Albatros aerobatic display, a Glasair II, Rutan Long-EZ, a Cessna 180, Vans RV7 and a Christen A1 Husky aerial display.
Two rare T6 Harvards flew in to form part of the static display and both Airlink and SA Express respectively flew by to say hallo to the crowd below.
Air Traffic services was provided by ATNS while the local Stellenbosch fire brigade provided fire services, and Emergency Medical Operations (EMO) offered first aid medical emergency services for the day.
Virtual aviation was represented by VATSIM and the Shackleton Sim.
Other highlights included a Mustang and Harley Davidson procession and numerous vintage sports cars where also on display.
