ST Helena Airport

One ambulance flight has been made, so the airport is technically operational - just not for jets.

I'm not sure if windshear distinguishes between prop and jet a/c!!

I'm not knowledgable enough to answer that, Dijvid, but all I have seen written is that only jets are limited from landing there.

 

Yet it would seem the ambulance flight was actually a jet - a Dassault Falcon. So perhaps we should be saying "commercial jets".

I should have thought about that, John!  I was assuming that because a B200 arrived from Angola to do the calibration then the medic flight was also a prop.

 

I wonder if they will start a flying club there?  Box up a few C172s and re-assemble them at the airport.  They would probably get fed up before too long as there wouldn't be anywhere for them to go really!!

Ha! Cessnas with floats, maybe?
