SA Flyer Photographer Justin de Reuck spent the weekend up in Namibia covering the first airshow that the country has seen in 20 years. The show was a resounding success.
Here a Namibian Air Force Chengdu F-7NM (The Chinese variation of the Russian Mig 21) performs a flypast for the crowd.
— at Hosea Kutako International Airport
Took this from Flyer International SA or something like that

ViceAdmiral:
That article for me is vague and confusing as always huh huh huh...We need specialist defense journalists in Namibia. The same paper that published this story once described a military flypast as a "sky dance" by fighter jets grin grin grin grin utterly hopeless in my opinion...Reading on the comments on the various social media platforms it appears that it was actually paras that graduated..So is it safe to assume that paras are organized as part of the special forces??meaning we got commandos,amphibious commandos(from the marines) and now Paras in the special forces huh huhI have a million questions grin grin..The only thing that will satisfy my curiosity will be an organogram angry angry
Thought I was seeing things grin
Namibian Air Force members in Botswana

Either way more images of the grads
pic 1: im no para expert but shouldn't u keep your legs together to avoid injury huh huh grin grin

" fourth regiment of the Namibia Defence Force (NDF) graduated at the Namibia Special Forces School on Friday, after undergoing an advanced training course at the military bastion town of Grootfontein.

Namibian special forces include paratroopers and commandos from the army, navy and air force who are assigned to special operations command. Around 70 trainees are selected out of a squad of 200 to 300 volunteers after a rigorous training programme. Training took 18 months."

So is it safe to assume that the marines are phasing out the old lime green cammo with the digital 1 over time??I don't see them wearing two uniforms forever...Well Special Forces are shrouded in secrecy i rest all my questions about them for now....

The riot gear remains a mystery...Although there is talk of marines being deployed on the 31st(If they are I'm guessing those gents will be part of the party).Yes they have adopted the new digital cammo(But the lime green one is still in use)The commander isn't wearing the same cammo scheme the marines have...I've seen the color patterns on other special forces commanders(But mostly in the tiger flash scheme)My guess is it's just for the higher ranks...
