Virginia 2011, Durban, South Africa
Durban airshow has to be one of the closest and most pictureque airshows in South Africa. Virginia airport is a general aviation airport and is situated right next to the beach with just a hedge between the sea and the airport. Pilots love Durban because their aircraft perform so well at the coast and the sea as the background for them is always magical. The displays always seem just an arms length away and the crowds are always thrilled by this. The only people who aren't happy at this airshow are the local residents who are really close to the boundary of the airport - however, it is only one day a year!!
Being a Durban resident, this is my home airshow and very convienient...
