Airlink jets stun fans with dramatic flyover at DHL stadium before Springboks-All Blacks Test: watch

Two airlink jets reportedly flew low over DHL Stadium in Cape Town before the highly anticipated Springboks-All Blacks Test match on Saturday, August 29, adding eagerness as fans gathered for the mesmerizing spectacle.

The jets passed over the packed Cape Town venue in tight information as pre-game show with FlightRadar24 data showing altitudes as low as 50 feet.

Video capturing showed one jet clearing the stadium roof by mere meters alongside the second aircraft, echoing a similar flypast at Ellis Park a week earlier.

Video is gaining traction on social media with divided reactions, excitement, and safety concerns over the close call with commercial planes above crowds, though such demonstrations are common for major South African rugby championships.

On social platform X, users have been sharing intriguing comments with one writing, “It's been a minute since I last flew, but dang that was low! Also looked like a near tail strike as he pulled out of the stadium. I think South Africa deserves some airtime on the Mover and Gonky show.”

Second remarked, “That's actually mad impressive, the balls and skills of those pilots to attempt and pull that off? Amazing.”

Third added, “I saw this firsthand last week in Johannesburg and it was epic, I got goosebumps. I do have to admit seeing the Cape Town one on tv tonight was scary.”
