This is a private airstrip on our property that was built by the previous owners. We don’t own an aircraft or have a pilot’s licence, and with a commercial strip only 5kms away it was deemed non-essential. We are about to embark on an irrigation project and the airstrip just creeps into that site. So for safety reasons it has now been closed for use.
Crop dusting?
ReplyDeleteNo, a 4 seater passenger plane. This is the last plane to take off on our airstrip before it is closed.
Deletethanks for the explanation.
ReplyDeleteI didn't think it looked like a cropduster...but then I thought I don't really know if I know the difference.
ReplyDeleteThat is an amazing picture.
ReplyDeleteAh, I was wondering. Why are you closing??
