The arrangements for the Yak-52 and Intermediate Class World Aerobatics, which will be held in Mossel Bay from 26 November to 3 December, took another step forward with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between the Municipality, the Mossel Bay Aero Club and the Sports Aerobatic Club of South Africa.
It will be the first time that the event will be held outside Europe and a total of sixty pilots from sixteen countries have already been confirmed as participants in the two events.
Countries that have confirmed that they will be sending teams, include Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Portugal and the United Kingdom.
The pilots will all fly South African-owned aeroplanes.
Event co-ordinator John Boucher says it is a big team effort.
