Douglas DC-4
The Skymaster
The bigger brother of the DC-3. ZS-BMH, "LEBOMBO" was part of the Berlin Airlift after the Second World War and is now also part of the SAA's Historic Flight Section.
Just lifting off, the nose wheel has left the ground. Here at Swartkop Air Force Base on 17 October 1998.
"Lebombo" is flying around the SAAF Memorial on Bays Hill, Swartkop Air Force Base which was South Africa's first operational air base.
This is not the "LEBOMBO". Another DC-4 in SAA's colours. Pictured here at Swartkops Air Force Base on 10 April 1999.
