Aviation Events Calendar

Aviation Calendar 2012 / 2013

In an effort to provide a complete service to the aviation business African Pilot has published the following aviation events calendar.  Airshows have become some of the largest public participation events in South Africa often drawing crowds that match other major spectator sports.  African Pilot is the only southern African aviation publication that regularly publishes an accurate 'Airshows and Events' calendar.  All events are published on the African Pilot website: www.africanpilot.co.za, which is regularly updated as dates for aviation events are reserved by organisers. For the purpose of accuracy, this information is shared with Brian Emmenis of Capital Sounds  

South African and international airshows, fly-ins and events featuring aviation displays

All South African Special Air Events (airshows, fly-ins, competitions, etc) are subject to formal approval from the Recreational Aviation Administration of South Africa (RAASA).
