Lowveld Airshow 2024

On Saturday the weather was perfect all day with relatively clear skies for this time of the year and only a soft northerly breeze. Even though the airshow was only going to start at 15h00, spectators were pouring into the airfield and since several of the display pilots still had to undertake their validations, everyone had the opportunity to view some of the action that would be part of the ‘official airshow’ in the afternoon. I used this time to take a walk around the airfield and I was impressed at the number of vendors already set up ready for customers in the afternoon. Before the airshow got underway, I had the privilege to interview some of the pilots who would be participating on video as well as take in the excellent airfield arrangements such as litter boxes, toilets, extensive children’s play area and even a ‘baby changing station’. Photographers present were all welcomed by the organisers and all were allocated positions from where they could work, where refreshments were located and how to interact with the organisers. Sometime before the airshow started the Aero Modellers were given the opportunity to show off the many types of aircraft models that were present. What was great was that Brian Emmenis of Capital Sounds provided a microphone to the Aero Modeller commentator who spoke to the crowds about what was in the air at any time. Once the airshow started, it was what I referred to an ‘end to end’ extravaganza where the sky was always filled with action. After the brilliant fly over of the Airlink E195 at sunset plenty of action started at the Flying Lions and the SAAF AW109 flew past colourful fireworks explosions to the delight of the crowds that all stayed to see the night’s spectacular fireworks display. I interviewed Brian Emmenis for both his opening and closing statements on video and he was ecstatic about the overall quality and intensity of the Lowveld airshow. Whilst we waited for the crowds to dissipate, we spend some time at the Lowveld Aero Club, which was a great opportunity to debrief with some of the display pilots, organisers and also obtain an idea about how spectators enjoyed the airshow. Although a full report with video and plenty of superb pictures will be published in the June edition of African Pilot, I want to take this opportunity to thank the organisers for what can only be called a ‘superb presentation of an aviation spectacle’.
