Stadium flyover games — the rugby grounds

Is it free?

Yes. It is free, there is nothing to download and nothing to install, and there is no account. It runs in the browser on a phone or a computer.

What is the Airlink flyover?

Two Airlink Embraer E190 jets, one painted in Springbok green and one in All Blacks black, flew a low formation pass over Cape Town Stadium before a South Africa v New Zealand Test. The footage travelled worldwide. This game lets you fly the same pass over the same ground, modelled to scale.

How do you play?

One control. Tap the screen or press the space bar and your jetpack fires; let go and gravity takes it back. Steer with A and D, a sideways drag, or by tilting the phone. Everything else — the rings, the roof pass, the aerial loop — comes out of how often you tap.

What is the clearance number?

How close you came to the roof of the stadium as you crossed it, in metres. Lower is better, because that is the entire point of a flypast. Under twelve metres is where it starts to get interesting.

Which stadiums can you fly over?

Six rugby grounds — Cape Town Stadium, Ellis Park, Loftus Versfeld, Kings Park, FNB Stadium and M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore — and the Namibia Cricket Ground in Windhoek for the cricket. Each one is surveyed and built to scale, and you switch between them in the game.
