FAPB has lost a bit of it's appeal since the Airforce left. There are the odd charters that come and go and a clearing ppoint for those a/c on there way to ZIM. The tower operates till lunch time on weekends, the cafe inside is you typical cokes and crisps.

Fuel is still to be had from BP and they have a small flying fraternity, and club. Not sure on the support. If you need an AMO, the guys are friendly. If I had money, I would open a school there and host international students in Polokwane. (The new name for Pietersburg)

Enjoy, message me if you need more info
