More from the Cape Town Air Show

Scary looking beast, isn't it? This is the MI24 attack helicopter, which made its appearance at the Cape Town Air Show in what was apparently a world first: the MI24 took to the skies alongside South Africa's own Rooivalk - it was the first time they've been seen flying together anywhere in the world.
If you live in Cape Town and didn't make it to the air show this year, make sure you get there next year. The aerobatic displays alone make the day immensely worthwhile. And a little tip, specially for our readers: there were significantly fewer visitors on Sunday afternoon than on Saturday, so if you'd prefer to avoid the crowds, that's the time to go. ;-)
Have a look at the rest of our photos of the air show on the Cape Town Daily Photo Extras blog.

The show at Ysterplaat only takes place every second year. In alternate years, the SAAF Test Flight Development Centre host a show at their base near Bredasdorp. It is always a good show and the distance from Cape Town means smaller crowds as only the more dedicated aviation enthusiasts are prepared to make the trip.
Ah, this explains why we didn't go last year. :P It doesn't explain why we didn't go the year before, but nevertheless...
Thanks for clearing that up!
This is a great photo!
very good shot! Like it!
