After the fly pass at 08:00
the planes will land at the Aalwyndal strip and the fun will begin.
If you have always dreamt
about flying in a Harvard, this is your opportunity. These grand old
ladies of aviation will fly up from Stellenbosch and they will be around all day
for you to drool over and even to take you on a paid flip.
Entry is FREE of charge and
the public is invited to come and join in the fun. A whole day of entertainment
is organised at the field and visitors will have the opportunity to watch the
attics of the Russian YAK. The pilot does it upside down and one wonders why he
does not fall out.
COMPETITIONS
Two different competitions
will be run before the fly in. In the one competition primary school learners
will need to write an essay on the topic "Why do I want to become
a pilot". The winners will be taken to the airfield and treated for
the whole day. They will also be taken on a flip.
In the other competition
tickets will be sold at the schools for the "drop" by the parachute
guys. If one of them lands on your grid, you are the winner and will be treated
to a free flight.
For the pilots an exciting
"Treasure Hunt" has been arranged as well as a rally.
There will also be
entertainment for the children and for the adults a dance with Splash is
organised for the evening.
