Thats Brilliant landings on both off them. SAA Pilots are one off the best in the world. Remember them flying a 747 at Duxford what they did with that 747 😮

This little SP had been sitting in storage for 3 years at JO’BURG international airport and was due for scrapping but SA made the very wise choice to donate it to a museam at RAND. So the engines were started up and remarkably required little or no work done to them. The plane was stripped of all uneeded parts for the landing. A Rand is no where near 747 capable. The aircraft then took of for RAND with its gear down all the way made 2 pratice approaches then landing on the third. Awesome job by the pilot.
