Biggest: SA Flyer is Africa’s largest selling aviation magazine

Best: SA Flyer brings its readers a core of world class writers, particularly its columnists who range from American Flying’s Peter Garrison to world renowned instructor Jim Davis. Numerous surveys by aviation forums show SA Flyer is by far the number one choice amongst all the aviation magazines in Africa

African sales: It is the only magazine that has retail sales throughout southern Africa as well as distribution across the rest of Africa

Target market: SA Flyer most effectively reaches the owners and operators of aircraft, as opposed to “wannabees”. This is confirmed by aircraft sales companies finding that they get the best response from SA Flyer. In the past we have tended to focus on the lighter side of general aviation but in 2008 this changed to include corporate jets and more Aviation industry news



For General Aviation enthusiasts, Oshkosh is the ultimate show. One of the many remarkable aspects are powerful ex-military fighters operated in private hands. One such aircraft is Art Nalls’ BAE Sea Harrier F/A N94422. Unless you have seen it first hand, it is impossible to appreciate its massive presence and awesome noise.

This month’s Opening Shot is one of the few that gives the reader some sense of this power. It was taken by Brian Stockland using his Canon EOS30D at Oshkosh on 1 August 2010 with a Canon Ultrasonic lens at 225mm. Exposure is 640th sec at f7.1.
