Rooivalk "Sweeping"
I took this photograph at Roodewal Bombing Range during the annual Air Capability Demonstration, where live ordenance is delivered by South African Air Force aircraft. The Rooivalk attack helicopter is a formidable weapon and a very powerful machine. This photo was taken after troops were dropped off to attack a staged enemy position. In this instance the role of the tjopper was to deliver close combat support and top cover.
