Get ready, Pretoria! On Saturday, 31 October, the G-force Festival takes over Wonderboom Airport for a full day of jaw-dropping aerial stunts, roaring engines and motorsport action that you won’t want to miss.
Picture this: planes tearing down the runway, head to head with high-performance race cars. Overhead, aerobatic pilots race around a low-level pylon course, threading between the markers at full speed with only metres to spare. A display helicopter flips and rolls through the sky, while on the ground the Jungle X motocross riders launch off ramps and pull freestyle tricks high above the crowd.
South African aviation show
Some of South Africa’s top aerobatic pilots will take to the skies, pushing their extraordinary aircraft to the limit with stunning aerial displays.
The line-up runs from lightning-fast, high-performance aerobatic machines to beautifully preserved vintage aircraft and legendary World War II warbirds, it’s the best of aviation, past and present, all in one sky.
Expect tight formations, daring manoeuvres and the unmistakable sound of aviation history coming alive overhead.
More than an airshow, it’s a festival
The action doesn’t stop in the sky. There’s just as much excitement going on down on the ground.
Kids can burn off their energy on the jumping castles and enjoy family-friendly entertainment, while adults soak up the festival atmosphere, grab a cold one at the beer tent and take in live motorsport and aerial action all day long.
Whether you’re an aviation fanatic, a petrolhead, an adrenaline junkie or simply looking for an unforgettable family outing, there is something for everyone.
One day, maximum adrenaline
On 31 October, all roads lead to Wonderboom Airport for a festival that promises noise, speed, excitement and non-stop entertainment.
Bring your family. Bring your friends. Bring your appetite for adventure.
