Aviation regulator probes Airlink flyby that passed 15 metres above Cape Town stadium

South Africa's Civil Aviation Authority is investigating Airlink's 29 August formation flyover at Cape Town's DHL Stadium. Flight-tracking data from Flightradar24 showed the lead Embraer passed less than 50 feet (15 metres) above the stadium roof before the Springboks-All Blacks second Test. SACAA is analysing flight data recorder downloads. Airlink says the flyby was safe, flown by three senior captains.
