Africa Aerospace & Defence Ysterplaat Airshow, otherwise knows as the Cape Town Airshow.
This plane – one of the Silver Falcons – is painted to look like the South African flag. Watch out for more pictures to be posted over the next few days.

A fishing boat in dry dock in Cape Town, it looks like they have been doing some maintenance to the hull.
I quite like the bright colours against the grey background.
Some photos of Cape Town harbour with the central business district in the background.
The Amber Lagoon, registered in Majuro, fully laden with cargo being pulled out of (or possibly into) the Cape Town harbour.
The Cape Town City Bowl (downtown). On the right you can see the working harbour, with the V&A Waterfront in the distance. Back left is Lions Head and Signal Hill, with the central business district on the left.
A drilling platform receiving maintenance in Cape Town harbour.
Cranes in the container terminal of Cape Town harbour. I love the toy-town feeling in the picture. However, these are real working cranes, and if you look closely you can see a few cars and trucks, giving a sense of perspective of the size of these cranes.
This is truly the most beautiful city in the world.
A HD photo of the helicopter that took me around my aerial trip of Cape Town. Highly recommended. The folks at Civair treated me like royalty. I highly recommend the trip of you get the opportunity.
A few days ago, I posted a picture of a fishing boat being launched in the waves,. Today I saw them bringing the catch in, and here is the same boat sitting on the beach.
An amusing way to paint your aeroplane. Zoom in on the pic to find the finer details of commercial flight. Well done to Kulula for an innovative idea.
Spotted outside a local hardware shop, a beautiful old yellow car. Checkout yellow rims .
This is an old Huey helicopter , used mainly in the Vietnam war. This particular one is now used for tourist chopper flights over Cape Town. I caught it in action flying over my house.
Old Corvette spotted outside the Forrester Arms in Newlands, Cape Town. The car was so sparkling and clean that you could use it as a mirror.
On Thursday I phoned to book a cab to take us to the airport from Manhattan to JFK Airport on Friday.
So, we were all packed, waiting at the hotel reception for the cab to arrive, when an eight seat stretch Limo pulled up at the door. It could not possibly be ours. The driver walked in to reception and walked straight up to us. "Are you room 522?" – he asked.
Yes – the Limo was ours! So, Lois and I went to JFK airport in style. I really felt like a rock star. It was fantastic! I have no idea why we got a stretch Limo, I have no idea why it cost the same as a yellow cab – but I was not going to complain.
So, New York – we will be back soon. Keep up the style!
