SAAF Museum Airshow 2024

On Saturday 4 May our team of photographers including Charlie and Fiona Hugo, Paul Ludick, Christine Brits and I spent an amazing day attending the annual SAAF Museum airshow with stunning weather conditions, clear skies and an incredible crowd of enthusiasts. Congratulations to the organisers who ‘pulled out all the stops’ to ensure that the estimated 30 000 spectators enjoyed the spectacle that unfolded before them. I was particularly impressed with the Capital Sounds team and especially Brian Emmenis who certainly kept the crowds entertained even when there was a short lull in flying activity. Most of our team were fortunate to be located just north of show centre where the amazing crowd behind us were incredibly excited whenever one of the many display pilots pulled off yet another manoeuver that had everyone cheering at the top of their voices. I spent most of my time shooting video material so when we publish this incredible video you will be able to hear those voices.

Thank you to the SAAF Museum team for a wonderful day in the sun and also for keeping this major airshow safe throughout the day.
