This is the one everybody saw. Two Airlink Embraer E190s, one in Springbok green and one in All Blacks black, came across Cape Town Stadium — DHL Stadium — in formation and low enough to make the clip travel worldwide. The ground beneath you here is that ground, surveyed and built to scale, with Table Mountain closing the southern horizon and Robben Island out at sea. Fly the pass yourself, free in the browser, and see how much lower you dare take it.
South Africa vs New Zealand Test 2026 · Cape Town · 29 August 2026
Cape Town Stadium sits in Green Point between the sea and the mountain, built for the 2010 World Cup and known as DHL Stadium under its sponsor. Behind it Signal Hill runs up to Lion’s Head, where the noon gun has fired every day but Sunday since 1806. Table Mountain closes the southern horizon — 500 million years old, flat as a table top, with the cloud that spills over it called the tablecloth. Round the back the route drops down the southern suburbs to Newlands, the oldest Test ground in South Africa, opened in 1888 and used until 2021, and on past the Constantia vineyards, planted in 1685. Out to sea lies Robben Island, a prison for four centuries and where Nelson Mandela spent 18 of his 27 years in captivity.

Tap the screen, or press the space bar, and your jetpack fires. Let go and gravity takes it back. That is the whole flight model — how high you get and how long you stay there both come out of how often you tap. To move across the line, press A and D, drag sideways with a finger, or tilt your phone.
The number in the top corner is your clearance: how close you came to the roof of the stadium as you crossed it. Lower is better, because that is the entire point of a flypast. Under twelve metres is where it starts to get interesting.
Gold rings sit along the route — sixty points through the outside, a hundred and fifty for the inner ring, three hundred for a bullseye, which also builds a combo up to three times. Once a lap a line of blue rings takes you seventy metres up and over, and everything scores double up there. Player jerseys and real pieces of history float on the circuit; fly through one and it stays in your collection on this device.
Seagulls. A single one you can dodge; a flock is too wide to go around, so go over or under it. Fly long enough and the light goes, the floodlights come up and the rain arrives. From the second lap on, each lap sets you a challenge worth between fifteen hundred and twenty-five hundred points.
