While doing some other research, I came across this dustbowl, found it on Google Earth at
27° 38' 21.00" S 142° 24' 30.00" E and noticed the X's down the runway.
This place just intrigues me for some reason. It's a private field, and there's no info on YJAK anywhere on the internet, or ERSA (no surprise there, really).
I'm just wondering if any of you have flown in and out of there? With a strip length of 5900', it's obviously been built to cater for some fast and/or large aircraft. Anyone know how long it's been decommissioned, or are the X's just there to warn off non-authorised flights?
Just looking at that whole area in Google Earth takes the breath away, I can hardly imagine what it's like for you guys who fly out that way regularly.
