I looked up the Kamina Airport on good old Googol Earth, and it appears that the airport is in the middle of a mixed residential-commercial area. Depending on how they are counted, there are from 15 to 20 crossings along the 4800 ft. length of the runway, and these crossings appear to be well-used pedestrian foot paths. Kamina appears to be a fairly large city, and I would expect that the airport experiences several aircraft operations per day, but apparently there is no perimeter fence for the airport. Is this the usual situation one finds at "outback" African airports?

Cheers,
