It's been reported that COPE regrets "one of its MPs reportedly trying to open the door of an SAA plane in mid-flight while intoxicated".

The Purple shall rule! Jamie spent 13 hours on a flight to Johannesburg, then went to the Rand Airport to spend more time on a plane: "(1) Even at rush hour, Johannesburg seemed very organized - drivers stayed in their lanes and kept to posted speed limits, unlike in Asia. The city is very sprawling and is linked up by a complicated web of freeways and tollways. (2) I drove to Rand Airfield, the capital city's general aviation airport, for a visit to the South African Airways Museum Society. It's a group of former SAA employees and enthusiasts who have amassed a pretty amazing collection of memorabilia and an even more impressive collection of historic aircraft. When SAA retired the 747-200 and 747-SP (two early models of the type) a few years back, the society convinced them to donate the aircraft, and so both are on display at Rand Airfield."
