Aviation museum in Gauteng?

Postby Skybound » Sun Dec 30, 2007 10:57 am

Does anyone know about an avaition museum in Gauteng that will be open on 31/12/2007? Is it worth a visit as we will have to drive a substantial distance to get there?

try the War museum on upperside of joburg zoo, some nice displays and buildings have been
recently upgraded, more than just planes, worth the visit.
