There was a keen interest to get airborne again after a protracted period of lockdown due to the Covid-19 pandemic that has swept across the world since March. A bunch of RV pilots were invited to continue with their aerobatic instruction which in turn attracted some new recruits too. All gathered at Kitty Hawk airfield for some fun on the first weekend of August.

WoW! What an incredible weekend of flying was had at the SAC Western Cape Regionals, held at Swellendam Airfield. We could not have asked for better weather on the day!
Initially we had a field of 20 entries, but unfortunately 3 pilots from Namibia had to withdraw, owing to high winds in their path to Swellendam, and a number of unfortunate pilots who own Sbachs had received news a week prior, that the aircraft was not allowed to do aerobatics until further notice from the XA factory. That being said, we still had a great turnout, and as always, the members from the Swellendam Club pulled out all the stops to make us feel at home!
