from higher command. This
        day soon  became one the
        most interesting and tensed
        days  of  the  Bush  War,  an
        enemy  pilot  had  defected

        into Namibia  delivering the
        South African Forces with a
        Russian built fighter aircraft
        (MC-21).       This      meant       a
        complete stay  away zone
        and       only      the     highest

        superiors        were       allowed
        access in  order to make
        informative decisions on the
        way forward.  Many enemy
        aircraft were infiltrated and shot down.  Much  of the operations  during this
                                                       period are still classified “Top secret “. So,
                                                       for now some detailed events will only be

                                                       know to those who were present at the time
                                                       or     had      access       to    such       sensitive
                                                       information.

                                                       The war was intense, and many  lost their
                                                       lives.  Some  things  will  forever  be
                                                       remembered.
