Photos of the Vredendal Fly In are now online.

Most attendees of CC Pocock’s annual fly-in at his airfield near Barberton in Mpumalanga hold this event in an almost mystical awe. This is due to many reasons, the least of which is the culminating pyrotechnic display that CC is renowned for.

This year saw the IPMSSA media team pay their first visit to the Bush Pilots fly in. Arriving in the late Friday evening at the airfield we immediately felt at home. Of course meeting up with other attendees helped. There were large bonfires in drums on the concrete ramp to take the chill off the late winter evening (milder than Gauteng but a chill non-the-less) A slide show was in progress inside the clubhouse and this was enjoyed by all who crammed inside and also on the veranda peering through the windows. After a couple of hours of pleasant chatting with old friends we left for the night.
