This is SAA's brand new Airbus. It performed some minor aerobatics for us today. The highlight was its near touch down onto the airbase's runway (its obviously way too big too land here).

See some of my video of its flight (including near landing with crowd response) at www.youtube.com/watch?v=HG_5DSRU59M and www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-xUa-39Sho.
