Lanseria (SA) 18/10/2010

[buryspotter]

Recently returned from a 2 week “non spotting” holiday in South Africa. I was allowed out to play on my birthday so decided to try Lanseria (to the North-West of Johannesburg). Bad planning on my part meant I did not arrive until noon leaving only four hours to look around. Made just over 200 a/c and suspect there might be that many again based here - allow a full day if visiting. I spend half an hour negotiating with airport security and was given airside access complete with my own guide for the afternoon.

A few pictures to give a flavour of the place.

Then a walk-about airside.








Access was granted to most hangars

Excellent Alan. I would be like a pig in s**t around that place. So many different types of aircraft and different country registrations and lovely warm weather as well. What more could a spotter want. Thanks for posting. Regards Beemer.

Alan,

Likewise, lots of nice stuff to view especially the Bizjets and Bizprops, as well as lots of withdrawn airliners by the looks of it.

And of course some Russian treats.

Thanks for posting the photographs which are excellent.

Happy Days

Bob
