In this episode I am joined by a special guest and friend of mine, Buti Tsebe. He was the pilot I trained to become a Silver Falcon. It is customary to train your replacement in the team and Buti became the number 3 when I departed in 2008.
Before being trained as number 3, Buti replaced me as the Ground Liaison Officer (GLO) for the Silver Falcons. Without question, Buti was a much better GLO than I was. I showed him the work required of him, but he always went the extra mile to make the Team’s job easy.
Buti became the first black Silver Falcon pilot. As a soccer fan, it was a particular privilege for Buti being a part of the World Cup 2010 opening in Johannesburg. The opening ceremony had 2 Billion viewers for their aerial display, possibly a world record at the time. It seems his habit of replacing me and improving in the position continued.
