Cheetah-D "Me"

Me, flying in a Cheetah-D fighter with Major-General Des Barker. We were in the holding area for a fly-over, during South African Air Force Day parade, near Pretoria. I used a 12-24mm Nikkor(wide-angle) lens for this shot.

Lucky for you to ride this aircraft, Good choice of SAAF about the Gripen.
And the Cheetah-D yes is a Mix between the Kfir and the MirageIII, when South Africa was banned to sell them weapons and military aircrafts, they have to build their own jet fighter, the Cheetah

It was a good deal. South Africa got excellent participation and economic benefits from Sweden.
