Best airshow I've been to. The race was between Nigel Hopkin's MX against a Bell Jetranger chopper, both doing rolls and loops at the end of each stretch.

Watch out for the dates of the next Bots air show. Seems like it may be in the month of May next year. This is sure to become one of the best air shows in Africa. Close-by plane action and not this silly 150 meters away and altitude that requires a telescope to see. Guys, be sure not to miss the next one. It was an awesome event with so much fun. Best fly-in air show I have ever been to

There were everything from Gyros, to LSA and even Bantams that flew in. Flying back on Sunday morning with all the traffic to Pilanesberg was fun and interesting. Met lots of fellow aviators and nice to meet up with all the guys from the forum.

See you all there next year.
