I flew into CHR in an Aztec around 1985 and it was very quiet. My wife and I spent 4 days there and returned to the airport to await the arrival of our aircraft from SEN. Unfortunately our Ops had forgotten to get PPR so when the aircraft landed we were promptly arrested! Luckily the inbound charter pax (French) were able to smooth things over. You could say that I was slightly annoyed when I got back to the office at SEN.
