There is a lot to be said for the SAAF Alouette III gunship pilots, skill and a real sense of on edge flying would be an understatement. Here a SAAF Alouette flies up close and personal to a moving SADF “Buffel” APC (Armoured Personnel Carrier) somewhere during the Border War.

This photograph was taken from a South African Air Force Alouette gunship helicopter called in for close fire support to a SADF Army ground patrol who had hit a contact and where taking intense small arms fire from civilian dwellings in a village.
