You just need to time your next holiday better! That will be November 2009 then for this http://www.saairforce.co.za/news-and-ev ... rg-airshow

When you get bored of Lightnings there is always the live missile firing from the Mirage (well they have retired now and I wonder whether the Gripen will do it).

As a local I am ashamed to say that for the first time I will not be visiting AAD due to other commitments. However, here are some pics from last years TFDC show.
