It's gone!

This plot of land now has some greenhouses and the airstrip is gone.

I landed there a few years ago but nowadays it is harder to spot the southeast limit and you really have to use it if you want to stop before the first road crossing because the ground is a bit uneven there.

Good condition

The trees feel a bit too close if you're doing a low pass but at landing speeds, coming in from East, it's perfectly safe.

Usable paved airstrip

Beware of a few things:

* There's a road crossing the strip, better call beforehand so that they close the road for your landing

* There's a tree hard to see tree (no leafs) right in your way when you come from North.

* The pavement has a little bump where the road crosses

* The pavement has some growing bushes but not a big deal

The runway is closed and is divided by concrete blocks in 3 sections of ~300 meters, better avoid.

Good condition

This airstrip is good condition now, it has recently been cleaned and flattened

Cool that the electrical lines are buried where they cross the strip but you'll probably break your landing gear if you try to land here, it's full of huge potholes.

It's not suitable to land as it has meter high vegetation.

Actually it's a grass runway and quite hard to spot if you're not familiar with it.

It was improved recently for an ultra light aircraft fly-in event but military authorisation is required to use it.
