VaalDam Airfield?

[Skinner]

Does anyone know about another airfield at the Vaaldam except the Leeukop and Oranjeville strips? I flew in the Deneysville/Oranjeville area recently and on two occasions heard guys at what sounded like "Peninsula or Valencia" Airfield close to Deneysville. They invited me for coffee but I was a bit low on fuel and did not have time to search for the field...

Thanks

I would also love to get details on any airfield in the Denysville region. Haven't seen anything from the air, nor on Google Earth....

Went looking for the strip last weekend and found it The surface however looked a bit muddy with all the rain we had so I did not land. Its half way between Deneysville and Oranjeville,
From Google it seems to be about 900m long. Unfortunately no one flying from there that day so i could not get the name. Looks like they have some nice hangers etc, will visit when the surface looks a bit dryer, coords -26.919659, 28.158689

Hi Giep.

I'll try getting a few guys from Klip to fly in and visit. Will call you beforehand. What does the name mean?

[falconp1]

Madman and wacko. Mal mense.

I've landed there before. Mike Skinner from Klip has a spot there and is there most weekends.

Would be great if we do a bit of a pub crawle to the two airfields and get to know the guys.

[Madman]

Hi Giep,

Thank you, that will be great, I love landing somewhere different

That would be EPIC Wacko and Falcon, please let me know when you plan on doing the flip

[Giep]

Madman, Wacko en Falcon, you are more than welcome to visit any time.
I stay on the Peninsula and are at home almost every weekend.
Just let me know when you want to fly in

Hi Giep.

Gaan dit moontlik wees om in te vlieg en bietjie lyn nat te maak?

My seun sal alby sy ouers inruil vir 'n geleentheid om vis te vang.

Groete
Jaco
