The Bophuthatswana Defence Force established a small air wing at Mmabatho in 1981. The air wing became the Bophuthatswana Air Force in 1987 and remained as such until integration into the SAAF after the bantustans were reintegrated into the RSA. T400 was returned to Pilatus and eventually ended up with the Chadian Air Force. Photo: Phillipe Colin This photo was added on 9 December 2021, and has since been viewed 2479 times. |
