There was a pic of a couple of South Africa (IIRC) F-16’s - painted white.

Now that looked like a great weekend warrior aircraft.

I’ll take two. Gotta build a runway first.

Not likely. As of a couple years ago one had to have a certain shade of skin color to be considered for pilot duty.

Last time I was in SA I unofficially observed several SA bases. No activity of any kind. The military now is just a political and welfare organization and its leaders were trained in Cuba and USSR during the cold war. There is no chance they could defend themselves against a co-ed boy scout troop.

Our meddling was of no benefit to any SA citizen. The government has no hope of ever overcoming its malfeasance, corruption, and ignorance. Pity.
