Info
Robertson Airfield is a small aerodrome situated east of Robertson in the Western Cape of South Africa, surrounded by beautiful green mountains, farms and winelands.
It offers two runways, one asphalt and one grass, with the asphalt having minor lighting making it available for landing at night, however, the field does not have a tower.
Robertson is home to Jaffie Aviation Training and Master Tech Aircraft Maintenance.
The field also offers Skydiving training through Skydive Robertson, found in the hangar right next to the clubhouse. With their uniquely green-painted Cessna 182, 'Gangrene', they take skydivers up high above the beautiful Robertson landscape to experience the thrill of jumping out of a plane.
Robertson airfield is often host to fly-ins and meetups, including remote controlled airplane shows, as well as charity events.
Robertson airfield is also featured in scenes from the movie Lord of War, where they shot an action scene involving an Antonov AN-12 (9Q-CIH). They created the scene with the AN-12 by covering a part of the runway with dirt to make it look like a dirt runway and using local extras.
For more information on this airfield, you can search for Robertson Vliegklup and Skydive Robertson on Facebook.

Problem seems to be with the EDHK Pack
SkyyStorm author
Okay. That's only lights though. But I'll see if there's an update and update mine later this week and check.

For some reason the runway upgrades are present , but none of the buildings. Can only see the default buidings at the airfield. Have added the additional addons as well.
SkyyStorm author
The buildings are part of the base scenery, so they should show. That's quite odd. I'll test today.
