Our airstrip is a well maintained ‘typical’ private strip on a working farm suitable for experienced current pilots, we would appreciate you flying in a neighbourly manner as we are sensitive to not create a nuisance to adjoining properties, please do not closely overfly nearby houses and fly quiet approaches. Ensure that the runway is clear before landing. Please note if there is a "White Cross" adjacent to the wind sock it indicates the airstrip is closed for visitors.
