Wings and Wheels 2013, Ysterplaat AFB cancelled.


The Wings and Wheels show scheduled for AFB Ysterplaat next weekend has been cancelled, depriving Western Cape aviation enthusiasts of what was set to be a major attraction that would have set the tone for the festive season in the province.

The show’s provisional flying programme released last week ran through from 2 Squadron Gripens and the Silver Falcons display team to Super Lynx and Rooivalk on the military side, with supporting aircraft including the venerable C-47TP and Oryx helicopter.

A Hawker Hunter and Buccaneer were also scheduled to fly along with an L-39 and Pitts Specials and Harvards showing the aerobatic skills of pilots in close formations. Other aircraft on the flying programme included the first visit to Cape Town of a P-51 Mustang.
