CFS Dunnotar Flight Training was transferred to the South Western Cape to Air
Force Base Langebaanweg (CFS Langbaanweg). This transfer marked the
phasing out of the very trustworthy Harvard aircraft which was subsequently
replaced by the ultra-modern

Pilatus Astra MK2 as the new
training aircraft for all South
African Air Force Pilots.
Together with the
introduction of the Astra MK2

aircraft, the Aircraft
Simulators were assured in to
aid the Flight Ground School
with more comfortable and

obvious less dangerous flight
training. WO Rick Greyvenstein was
the only technically qualified member
to ensure that the flight simulators

were maintained and presented the
SAAF Pilots at International Aviation
Flight Training Standards necessary
to qualify as fully fledged Air Force
Pilots.

WO Rick Greyvenstein was transferred to Air Force Headquarters to the
Directorate Command & Control Systems. He worked on multiple classified
projects during his time here and was successfully transferred to AFB Swartkop

as the Technical WO responsible for the upkeep of Ground to Ground, Ground
to Air Communication Systems.

WO Rick Greyvenstein will have
completed a highly distinguished
career and will be retiring from the
South African Air Force in
September 2020 after completing 40
Years and 9 months active and
continuous service.
