Radar's Hangar

Who's Radar?

Radar Well, Radar was this cat that used to hang round-about hangar 1 and 2 at Johannesburg International Airport (the ones at the far-corner, near the domestic terminal). Legend has it that he got sucked up by a jet engine, and survived. It’s not every day that you get an aviation-nutty cat so this one even made it into a book (don’t remember the name – sorry). Any information on this feline’s history would be appreciated. Hey Radar! Write me if there’s more to tell.
