Sandown is still available

BUT

  • Not licensed
  • All 800+ yards are in good condition
  • No ATSU, all calls to "Sandown Traffic"
  • Pay landing fee at the cafe/caravan by the main gate
  • No fuel
.

I flew in there on Wednesday and it was a very sad experience as the owners are trying to kill it.

A double tragedy. :(
