A new site from a friend of mine.

Was talking to him last night (he lives in the next village) and he was telling me of how the Zimbabwe AF "bust a gut" to send a flypast team to  a neighbouring state for someone's funeral. They sent 5 Chinese -built F-7s, the only things able to fly in numbers.
The unit leader ejected in transit when he got into difficulties; the next crashed on the runway of the airfield while landing; another had to divert(blocked runway of course!) but ran out of fuel and crashed.
Scratch 60% of the air force.
All the pilots were locals as Mugabe mistrusts the white pilots :lol:  
Once you've visited the land of the Loonies, a return is never far away.....

LMAO.... Serves Mugabe right.
If you love, love without reservation; If you fight, fight without fear - THAT is the way of the warrior

If you go into battle knowing you will die, then you will live. If you go into battle hoping to live, then you will die
