Quote from: angry turnip on Sep 02, 2026, 22:19I thought it was rather good myself, if just a tad risky. I see another flypast for Johannesburg by the same airline has been scrubbed.


Scrubbing the next flypast says a lot - who scrubbed it though - the airline or authorities?

I read about it on youtube,I will see if I can find it again.

I found this... It was the airline that scrubbed it...  https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c2e0r4nwg30o

" SACAA, which had approved the flyover beforehand, says it is now reviewing flight data and has requested more information from Airlink as part of further compliance checks.
Airlink has since withdrawn its application for another planned flyover at FNB Stadium while the investigation continues. "
