TLDR

Two aircraft, one green and one black, flew low over DHL Stadium in Cape Town ahead of the rugby test between South Africa and New Zealand. Airlink, which operated the planes, said the maneuver was planned in advance and stayed inside approved altitude and speed limits. Posts on X showed video of the flyover and reactions from viewers. A browser game called Flappy Link appeared online, inviting players to skim virtual stadium roofs in a similar manner.

@BilGriffithI thought that having driven from Scotland to South Africa ( With the exception of the boat lift across the Mediterranean) might give me some leeway in criticizing the recent flyover. WRONG The vitriolic response to my post has been amazing. Now I am beginning to understand why the murder rate in South Africa is seven and a half times greater than in the U.S. These people are off their rockers. Calm down SA
@phakxxYour president is a pedophile... I would sit this one out if I was you 😅😂🤣
@TboozeSA@washingtonpost At least our flyovers don’t drop bombs on innocent civilians
