Zimbabwean instructors for SAAF

Zimbabwean flight instructors will soon be teaching South African Air Force student pilots at the SAAF's flying school in Langebaanweg. This announcement was made by Lt.Gen. Carlo Gagiano, new chief of the SAAF, during a wings parade for newly qualified pilots. Gagiano said the Zimbabweans were called in as South Africa wants a closer relationship with other air forces on the sub-continent. The Zimbabwean Air Force currently uses an older version of the BAE Hawk, the training aircraft to be used for South Africa's fighter pilots.
