I have taken over the operation of FADS (De Doorns) private airstrip. I extended the runway to 1000m and 20m wide. Please contact me beforehand for use of the airstrip.
A small airfield with a big heart. Over week-ends it hums with aviation enthusiasts. Anything from the most basic microlight to the bigger single engine commercial aircraft. Great restaurant and food!!!

Hi There, i was wondering weather you can help me. I am a researching for Migrate Films Company and have been back and forth trying to find dusty air strips with Hangers (kind of deserted) so small landing strips are what we are looking for to pitch for this international shoot. I have looked for the air strips in the follwing places between Pottsville & Eendekuil- Malmesbury, Wellington, Tulbagh, Loeriesfontien, Niewoudtville, Calvinia, Sutherland. I cannot seem to get my hands on any photographs. Do you have any suggestions who might or where i might be able to find? sorry if this is the incorrect forum for this my research on these places has just lead me to here and desperate times call for desperate measures.
If you do have any suggestions pls get back to me at frances@atomikpictures.com. It would be such a great help to just talk with someone who knew these smaller landing strips.
Just to clarify, Mango (738's) and Comair (Kulula.com and the local British Airways operator with various 737 models) only have pilot bases in Cape Town, along with SA Express (CRJ2 and DH4Q) , SAA (738's) and SA Airlink (ERJ and Avro RJ's). This is not the 'home' bases of these airlines. All of them have the Head Offices in Johannesburg (OR Tambo International).
Its not a biggie, I know...but still, its more correct.
In summer season, December to April Golf strip (5 km south of Bredasdorp) is a fire fighting base with fixed wing aircraft and a helicopter which operates on 121.75 and will keep a listening watch on 119.8.
Well well, the Boland is up and coming. This should make life a lot easier for people going in that direction in the future. Will take off a lot of frustration getting out of Cape Town and on the way. Maybe rugby getting a boost up that way?

This is probably one of the most beautiful airfields in the world with a great club.
Surrounded by vineyards with magestic mountains and the Indian Ocean as back drops.
No better place to sit after an afternoon flight and enjoy a cold beer or to have a breakfast outside the clubhouse after a morning flip.
