Google Earth Airfields file

Postby Air Hog » Sun Aug 25, 2013 3:59 pm

I have lost my computer in an Affirmative shopping at my house and lost all my previous data. Someone previously posted a KMZ Google Earth file with airfields in South Africa and this was very handy. I did try to search for it but cannot find it.
Is it possible to post it again, PLEASE.

Regarding the 'obstacles', please be alerted to the ZIP LINE CABLE at Sun City! This is shown in the obstacles file only as a tower on the mountain-top, but it will be the cable that will take you down! :shock:
Zip Line - Sun City.jpg
The position of the cable is identified by THIS kmz-file. KEEP WELL CLEAR!

Also, exercise care before taking some of these coords as a 'given'! :?

Here is Wepener, shown about 1km SW of the actual airfield.
