If your idea of a perfect Saturday includes roaring jet engines, gravity-defying aerial displays and getting up close to some of South Africa’s most iconic aircraft, then clear your calendar.
The SA Air Force Museum Air Show returns to the Mobile Deployment Wing in Centurion this Saturday, 6 June 2026, promising a full day of aviation excitement for enthusiasts, families and curious first-time visitors alike.
Running from 7am to 6pm, the event will showcase a variety of aircraft, thrilling flying displays and aviation experiences that celebrate the rich history and capabilities of South African aviation.
Whether you're an aviation enthusiast who can identify an aircraft by the sound of its engine or simply looking for a unique day out in Gauteng, the air show offers a rare opportunity to experience military aviation up close.
Getting there is also easier than ever. Gautrain has partnered with the event to provide complimentary midibus shuttle services between Centurion Gautrain Station and the Mobile Deployment Wing throughout the day. Shuttle services will operate from 7am to 6pm.
Visitors travelling by train can also take advantage of Gautrain's R1 parking promotion, making public transport one of the easiest ways to access the event.
