Hi
Just back from a visit to Krugar NP , on the way back to Johannesburg made a short visit to the museum at Swartkop AFB.
There where some choppers active and a couple of herks delivering some troops.
Some choppers over the platform
Rooivalk 680
BK117 387
C-130E 401
A full report will be on our website soon
Thanks for looking.
Regards Ronald.

Forum rules
This is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum. Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post. In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.). Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so. |

Re: Swartkop AFB South Africa
Nice images Ronald... I think however that the BK117 has 387 and not 367 as serial!!

Re: Swartkop AFB South Africa
Ronald,
Great pics! The reason for the activity was an airshow at nearby Waterkloof AFB.
In the states now, will try to find time to post some pics when I am back home. Highlights included formation with Mirage F1/Gripen/Hawk/Vampire, Ilyushin IL-76 in formation with 2x SAAF Harks, USAF HC-130N display etc.
All the best, Michael
