Shooting the breeze before the briefing
On Sunday 7 March the SAC again returned to its roots for the Judges and Gauteng Regional Aerobatics. Normally two separate competitions the two were because of the ravishes of Covid combined into one event.

Gary practicing his routine
In the early 1980s, the original historical Baragwanath Airfield was closed down, and sport aerobatics was forced to move to a new piece of land called Syferfontein. A permanent aerobatic box was established, and Syferfontein became home of the Sport Aerobatic Club of South Africa. Numerous aerobatic contests took place over the years, with numerous pilots earning their Springbok colours, including Dieter Ebeling, Bob Hay and Brian Zeedeberg.
Bara, today still boast that is the oldest airfield in the country of a permanent aerobatic box.
