Upington Airport

Description

 

Upington Airport is Your Correspondent’s favourite in South Africa, for three reasons: first, it has Africa’s longest runway, at 5kms (NASA’s space shuttle could land on it); second, it hosts only a single carrier, South African Airlink (see below), which flies mosquito-sized planes; and third, the landings of said mosquito-size planes on said gigantic runway are social occasions in Upington, drawing crowds. If ever you seek the simple life, consider a move to Upington’s peace and quiet.
