I attended the briefing for the annual South African Power Flying Association (SAPFA) Rand Airport Challenge on Saturday, but sadly due to the weather the rally was postponed. The scenic route would have taken the contestants south of Johannesburg to the Vaal River and Vaal dam, which is more than 100% full at the moment with several sluice gates open. However, with safety in mind the organisers decided not to proceed with the event. The photograph was taken when all the participants had completed the briefing outside the famous Rand Airport terminal building.

Please take note: The SAPFA Annual General Meeting is planned to take place in the Old Customs Hall, Rand Airport, right after the Rand Airport Challenge:

Saturday, 29th January 2022, Old Customs Hall, Rand Airport at 14H00 or after the Rally Prize Giving.
