Subantarctic research station

This research station is administratively part of Cape Town, despite the fact that it's over 2,100 km away.

No runway visible

I'm assuming the road doubles as a landing strip, but with the curve, it would be challenging.

Hi all

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.

The Best of the Best

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!!!

Apparently Langeberg Municipality owns it, Robertson Flying Club operates it

Air Strip and Hangers

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.

Thanks so much

Frances

Home Base correction

Hi guys

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.

position

I think the position marker is way off and should be nearly two miles south of the marked position

Lat 33 42 38.76 south

Long 19 01 27.80 east

The Google earth marker is closer

This airfield does not exsist

Amazing

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?

Land, taxi to within 50 meters of your room, dine on the finest Karoo lamb, then have a sundowner in the old tower.

Magnificent Airfield near Cape Town

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.
