An action packed program is planned and the highlight of the day will be a simulated “Air Attack” with full scale Pyrotechnics, followed by an aerial water bombing of the fire created by the “air attack” by Working on Fire - Dromader water bomber aircraft.

Many other flying and static displays including; Aerial FX Skydivers, Goodyear Pitts, Radio Pulpit Extra 200, "Fly it like you stole it” Giles, Bush Air C172, R44, Boeing Stearman, Yak52 “Gorilla act”, NAC PAC750 and Safari Airways Embraer 120. Plus more..

The Harvard Club of South Africa will be giving flips in a Harvard.

The VIP After-Party in the Bush Air hangar will be the best ever and furthermore we challenge all SA airshow organizers to beat it! Airshow after-party's are an important part of an airshow as it allows for all participants to socialize. Unfortunately this is seriously lacking at most SA airshows.
