Landed there some time back (more than 10 years ago) in a B58 and other than 2 aircraft bought by the Ciskei Govt (I believe) that had only been flown by little old ladies on Sundays....and never flew again, we were the only aircraft on the ramp. Very nice terminal........ complete with cleaning and security staff....very nice car park....1 car in it..... the guy who came to pick us up......now thats what you call a national asset.

Not sure if its urban legend or not but I understand the airport was deliverd complete with snow plough....it seems the (non SA) construction managers KNEW that all airports need a snow plough........?
