Maybe I will come to CriX if he can get me into a plane.
I know how to hotwire. :D

Get me into one with a working engine. Give me less than 2 minutes and I'll get you your private plane!

As promised earlier, here are a few pics taken at the Johannesburg War Museum. First of all, my wonderful hosts, Piet and Wilmarli::-*



Piet climbing on a Bf-109F-2 Trop wing:





Having a look inside the cockpit:





We were very  kindly assisted by the museum staff:



The Hawker Hartbees was used in the Abyssinian campaign in 1940-1941 against the Italians:



Me in the Hartbees:



I am very sorry for the blur and the digital noise, my cell phone is definitely not a camera...

Here is the nose gun of the Me-109F-2 Trop:

And then we went on, in the Spitfire F Mk VIII:





It has the best preserved cockpit of all the warbirds of the museum I could seat in.







After that, in the Sailor Malan Hall:8);D





The Me-262 had consoles made of plywood:

A Buccaneer was there too:



And the superb Mirage IIICZ:





From Squadron No 2, the Flying Cheetahs:







After that, I headed for Cape Town, and visited the South African Air Force museum at Ysterplaat air force base:



It is an active base, with operational Dakotas retrofitted with turboprop engines (no pics allowed for operational craft).

A very nice setting:



A Shackleton and Table Mountain in the back... good food for the mind and the heart. To be continued, with an Impala, Mirage, a MiG killer, and later on, the Aviodrome in Lelystad!




(a Matra R-530 air-to-air missile, with a Vampire in the background... stay tuned).
