I saw it land in the field at Zyns Kraal this morning on my way home from Rhinopark and was wondering what is it all about?

Denel is testing the Rooivalk with additional fuel pods. The Cheetah did a fly-by after take-off from OR Tambo. Apparently it had to guide Airforce One (Obama) in.

Didn't know they still used the ancient Cheetah, the gryphon is supposed to be the defender of our skies. :?:

If so interesting to use Denel's test Cheetah and not the Grippen, will have to ask and find out.
