Fashkosh 2019 at Stellenbosch Airfield 23 March
Surrounded by the historic vineyards of the Western Cape Winelands, Stellenbosch airfield has one of the most picturesque backdrops for any airshow. The high verdant and grey mountain ranges that separate the Cape Flats from the interior provide the airshow photographers with a welcome change to the normally wide open spaces of other airfields.
