The pilot will thank you for including his first-hand account. Yes, this particular flight was authorised, but unfortunately flights and persons got mixed up in newspapers, resulting in problems...

For those interested, the youtube-clip at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlxDpJPo4kM is an extract of
http://vimeo.com/8608544
The 707 starts at 15.00, the DC-8 is from 17.05 .

For those wanting to see the Zimbabwan Air Force Hunters, Hawks, Mig-21/Chengdu F-7 , South African Cheetah jets, helicopters and SAAF 707, this is from 19.00 to 29.00
at http://vimeo.com/8608544

Please DO think about including the 707 pilots' firsthand account when forwarding/copy-ing/email-ing, etcetera !

Well wipe me clean and send me on my way !

Imagine the CAA in the UK after that event, Mind you it was a while back. Maybe Ray Hanna could of found a bridge to fly under in it. Did he not fly the type at one time?

Yep, that's why I particularly emphasized these links... ;)

It WAS legal back then. But not nowadays! :(

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrziTee4b2c is another example of what was still legal in South Africa in 1990... :D
