Apparently no longer operated by/for the Malagasian Air Force. But who is the current owner/operator?

With these two Aero Commander pics I end my contribution to the "seen at FALA" thread.
In a few weeks time I'll be moving to the W-Cape and this brings an end to me taking pics at Lanseria Airport.
I started this thread in Jan 2007 and for almost fifteen and a half years I chronicled the comings and goings of all kinds and types of aircraft at Lanseria ; I enjoyed sharing my pics on this thread and hope they were appreciated by many of you.
Lastly, a heartfelt "Thank you" to Opsmike for all his assistance and support in getting me my permits and renewals during these years.
Thanks, Mike, greatly appreciated.
Time then for my final pics.
Cheerio, Photon.

Thank you Photon! Your pics from FALA certainly have been enjoyed by us far away here in Slaapstad.

We too welcome you to our neighbourhood and look forward to seeing your contributions from the awestern Cape!

p.s. Seeing as though you’re a proper Commander fan, like myself, Leo and AC6T. I have a spare Commander patch (courtesy of Leo) for you! We’ll catch some cold ones at FASH sometime for the handover.

Thanks Omer for all your contributions over the years - I for one am really going to miss them.

Enjoy your stay in the Western Cape and send us lots of pics from that part of the world.

....where do you plan on setting up house, if I may ask -, just curious.
