The 2007 airshow at TFDC saw a record attendance figure since the first airshow was staged in the Overberg area during 1997. Amongst the record attendees were visitors from as far as the United Kingdom, Poland, New Zealand, Sweden including a large contingent from Namibia. In addition enthusiasts from all over South Africa took an extended drive to the southern most tip of Africa, frantically tried every effort to board a commercial flight or made use of the “fly-in” option as one of the record number of more than 160 aircraft to attend this year’s show. The reason…?  LIVE air to air missile firing!

Now in its third year since the re-introduction of the Mafikeng airshow in the NorthWest Province this airshow just keeps on growing. With a enthusiastic , dedicated and passionate team leader in the form of Rickie Rennie with the full support and backing of the NWP Government the Mafikeng Airshow is one of the must see events on the annual South African Airshow calendar.
