Thunder city, South Africa closed

Thu Sep 30, 2010 5:41 am

I'm posting this after reading it in Fana de l'Aviation (french mag) and a quick search in the forum by "thunder city" didn't blimped on my radar.

abridged version: "thunder city" closed. reason: weak world economy, high maintenance costs and local authority instability.

best,

(edited: added the maintenance costs, also specified in the news item)

I suppose that the crash of the their Lightning and the tragic lost of her pilot was also one of the main reason of that...
