@newstalkzb: Was the dramatic jet flyover at the All Blacks v Springboks test actually too close? ✈️🏉 While plenty of South Africans have been brushing off concerns about the spectacle, Heather du Plessis-Allan brought in former airline pilot and aviation safety consultant Doug Moss to settle the debate. After watching the footage, Moss described the flyover as “exceptionally unusual”, estimating the aircraft came within around 15 metres of the stadium structure and less than 200 feet above spectators. He says that is much closer than would normally be allowed, but the manoeuvre itself was not particularly difficult for professional pilots to execute. What surprised him most was that the flyover had reportedly been approved at those altitudes. Heather’s conclusion? “It’s Africa. They live on the edge all of the time.” 🇿🇦😂 🔗 Catch the full interview in the link in bio.
