SHACKLETON P1722 GROUND RUN YSTERPLAAT AIR FORCE BASE
Advertisement
GOOD EVENING CAPE TOWN.
IT'S ONCE AGAIN TIME TO FEEL THE FORCE OF THE WIND AND THE SMELL OF AVIATION . IF YOU NOT SURE WHAT I MEAN, THEN YOU BETTER READ FURTHER.
✈️ THE SHACKLETON GROUND RUN IS BACK AND IT'S HAPPENING THIS COMING SATURDAY 19th JULY.
The "Friends of the SAAF museum" Ysterplaat have the pleasure and honour of inviting all Capetonians to witness another one of our spectacular OPEN DAYS with a twist at Ysterplaat Air Force Base. This is something you do not want to miss as it's an iconic aircraft with 4 engines and with contraroatating propellers. She is one of only 2 left in the world that feeds the wind through her propellers where ours is by far the most active. The sound and the smell is just goosebump material.
You will be welcomed on arrival by the passionate volunteers showing you were to park and where to enter the museum. You will need to sign in and then we ask you from the bottom of our hearts to please give a donation no matter how small. Out Grand Old Lady is a very thirsty lady and she is due for a major paint overhaul so with your help, she can continue to put smiles on people's faces for years to come. We have card machines so no need to scratch around for cash at the last minute.
For the kids, we have Jumping castle's, face painting and stick on tattoo's and of course they will be able to get into some of our aircraft.
For the Mom's, Dad's, Granny's and Grandpa's, there is plenty to keep you all entertained. Barista Coffee to begin with and then later on Craft Beer from the Shackleton Breweries and award winning wine from Stettyn Family Vineyards for you to taste and purchase. Then of course our world famous boerewors rolls and delicious gourmet beef and cheese burgers will be on sale for a steal.
The video below says it all. Just please try to be at museum by 9.15 am. It does take a while to get a large excited crowd through the museum before we all head off to watch 22 break the morning silence. Once the Ground Run is complete, you will get a chance to take a walk through her and other SAAF museum aircraft.
That's pretty much it. Thanks so much, take care and we look forward to seeing you on Saturday. If you have a questions, please give Norman a call on 083 698 1943 or myself John on 082 922 7099. Till then, Ciao.
