South Africa rugby flyover controversy: How the Springboks' stadium tradition began

A long-standing stadium tradition involving low-flying jets by the South African Springboks rugby team has recently come under scrutiny following safety concerns. The spectacular display, a prominent feature at South African rugby matches, has prompted questions regarding its origins and safety implications.

While the tradition has historically been a celebrated part of the team's match-day atmosphere, the recent incidents have shifted the focus toward the risks associated with low-altitude aviation maneuvers in stadium environments.
