Narrative:The Sasol Tigers Aerobatic Team flying L-29 Delphin jets and the SAAF Silver Falcons Aerobatic Team flying Pilatus PC-7 Mk II Astras were doing their validation display flight along with another L-29, ZU-TEE acting as photo ship for the African Aerospace and Defence Expo being held at the Ysterplaat Air Force Base.
The Silver Falcons then broke formation to the left and the Sasol Tigers Team broke formation by climbing to the right and making a long lazy bank over Table Bay with Table Mountain as the backdrop. Then suddenly the L-29 Delphin ZU-CYI at the rear of the three-ship formation, being flown by Martin van Straaten, banked to the right and made a steep descent until it struck the water about 800m from the shore.
The accident is under investigation by the SACAA.
