Which airstrip is the highest in South Africa? I'am looking for 3 or 4 strips over 5000 ft.

Thanks

Johnsa

Barkly east in the eastern cape is at 5872ft and there is n nother strip that they use when they are on the way to tiffendale skie resort.

Aero 57 5100ft, Microland I think is around 5400ft

The whole of Jo'burg and surroundings' airstrips are over 5 000 ft - region of 5 200 ft.

Pretoria little lower at 4 800 ft average.

Yhanks for the replies. Is limpopo not higher than Gauteng?

Now that Sani Pass one sounds like bragging

Limpopo is actually much lower than Joburg. Messina I think is in the region of 2 000 ft.

That's why it's so bloody hot there.

Registered fields in order of ft ASL:

5620' Volksrust
5600' Majuba
5585' Harrismith
5561' Bethlehem
5558' OR Tambo
5499' Krugersdorp
5476' Microland

Limpopo:

1914' Tzaneen
1881' Mussina
1432' Phalaborwa
1020' Skukuza (Northern province or Mpumalanga ?)

That must have been cold, you sitting still in all that wind and ice climate. Now I understand why you ended up in the bar
