Fireplanes at AFB Zwartkops airshow - Saturday 12 September 2009

The mind of a child is a wonderful thing. On Saturday Spikey took Mommy, Liam and Dylan to the airshow.

As Mommy had a hair appointment, we only got there at 15:00, and stayed till the end to ensure we got to see the fast jets! Probably the longest airshow ever - as the Mirage 3 and Mirage F1 only did their show after 6 that night!

And thank goodness for that - with the dark clouds of eary evening acting as backdrop, those afterburners were just SO brilliant - as brilliant as jewels!

Our Bibi started talking about the Fireplanes. They have been called Vlamgatte for as long as I can remember, but keep in mind that he has never heard that term before - so his version is as original as it gets.

Henceforth all fighter planes shall be know as Fireplanes. Thank you Bibi.
