A great friend of mine agreed to take my camera with on a flight from Waterkloof AFB to Bronkhorstspruit dam, Polokwane, Then Louis Trichardt to touchdown at Makhado AFB. This is the closest one will get to fly with a jet in the cockpit. Hope you enjoy the video.

I've watched this video about 50 times, part of the morning routine now. Ultimate motivation for my career choice!

This is really cool! Such a nice perspective. I'm an infanteer in the army and I have massive respect for our pilots. Very professional and skilled. Love to hear these jets roar🇿🇦

I've wanted to join the SAAF for a while now and I'm getting close to be able to, I'm still deciding whether it be a good idea or not because of the fact that nothings flying. This video is still keeping my hopes up, because of how awesome fighter pilots are.

The state of our Airforce bases is Terrible, well done to the new Generation pilots, sorry that the conditions are an eyesore!! And the jets are from our grandfather's time.

Yep the very sad truth!🇿🇦

@jaredkruger9750 Жыл бұрын

Well not strictly true, I do think that maintenance on some of the lesser used bases has lapsed but the active ones look fine to me. And our fighters are definitely not from our grandfathers generation, unless your grandfather was born in the late 1990s or early 2000s? But never the less the conditions that our pilots have to deal with due to the lack of funding is unacceptable.

@zainday7173 10 ай бұрын

@@jaredkruger9750 Lack of funding more like theft of the Air Defence Budget. SAAF requires at least 80 Jas-39 Gripens, Air Refuellers, SAAB ERI OR Global Eye AWACS Aircraft, B.A.E Trainer Aircrafts, EAD MAKO low ground Attack Aircraft. One Aircraft carrier followed by dozens of Warships and 8 Diesel Electric Submarines. Damn borders require 3.5 meter fencing and a permanent SANDF, LAV, Patrol Vrchicles and Infantry.. presence...

Thanks for uploading this man.👌 Does anyone know if Thunder City in the Cape still exists? You could get a flight in a Buccaneer some time back, paying obviously. I tried getting in the force way back. Race quoters held me back😢 Anyways, told my wife, If I ever win the lotto, or come into some big money. The first thing I would do, is a flight in a fast jet!

Glad you enjoyed it! Would like to find out about thunder city and would definitely like to visit if they still operate!😁 Great way to spend lotto money!😄😁🙏 id even spend my savings to fly in a airforce jet!😄 was lucky to sit in this hawk before the pilots took off
