Ah, I see, that's a shame, but I suppose there isn't a huge demand for 727-100s anymore.

Went flying in formation with this Harvard on Sunday ( ZS-WFD ) Strange enough, despite appearances, this Harvard was never in the SAAF and was imported into SA from the US in the late 80's and is c/n 88-18072 ex N7998C / Bu 90794.  |

Great Harvard formation photo. The orange really stands out against that dark sky.

Oh, lovely to see. Is that an original Junkers built Ju52? Or a CASA 352? Stunning photo!

Cool stuff. Do the 352's have the same engines as the Ju52? Or are the US-made ones or something like that? The CASA 352's look the business anyway.

Although the title of this thread is Aviation in South Africa ..... I have tried to keep it to posts which I think would be of interest to Kiwi's ... So it is with great pleasure that I post a pic of a Victa Airtourer that I photographed today (24 April) at Parys (FAPY)  |

Something you are not likely to see in NZ but an ex military aircraft that is popular in SA is this Piaggio P166S Albatros. At Rand Airport where I am based, there are 6 of them, all ex SAAF  |

Just slightly removed from Piaggio's scooter designs! Seriously though, that's a very nice looking aircraft. Nice to see an Airtourer still going strong on the other side of the globe too. |
