Arrival in Cape Town -269

What a wonderful sight to see that silver flash in the sky as the Sling 4 turned with Table Mountain behind it to land at Cape Town International Airport. The guys had to do customs first and then brought the Sling 4 over to the General Aviation section. The first video below is from when they entered the General Aviation area at FACT.

Also have a look at www.airstrike.co.za for more awesome pictures by Justin de Reuck on the arrival yesterday, as well as photos on Avcom (1) and photos on Avcom 2.

Thanks goes to Signature FBO, Stellenbosch Airfield, Anthony Allen, Richard Adcock, Justin de Reuck and everyone else involved in making the arrival in Cape Town so fantastic and for those who sent through pictures too to our email address!

From here the guys flew to Stellenbosch Airfield where a whole group of people were waiting for them. Mike and Jean flew past the excited crowd circling the airfield twice and just when we thought they were coming in to land, they took off again circling one more time before coming in on their final approach at Stellenbosch Airfield. Another few short videos are below from Stellenbosch.

Tomorrow (Saturday 24th September) Mike, Jean and James will fly together in the Sling to Tedderfield Airpark in Johannesburg where this fantastic adventure started from.
