Talk:Lanseria International Airport

SAAF Squadron
I seem to recall that a squadron (No. 4?) was based or had assets based at Lanseria. Could anyone check into this and mention it in the article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.111.29.1 (talk) 16:43, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Forums are not acceptable reliable sources. On page 187 of "75 Years on Wings of Eagles" by Dave Becker (ISBN 9780947478476) a List of "SAAF units recently disbanded/de-activated" states that both AFS Lanseria and 4 Sqdn were closed in 1991. In 1980 when Aircraft of the South African Air Force by Willem Steenkamp (ISBN 0869771337) was published 4 Sqdn was based at Waterkloof and the only SAAF activity at Lanseria was the SAAF Museum's workshops.

Nick Turvey accident
If anyone has the exact date and/or a reference, please post it here. Thank you Nolween (talk) 09:05, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Quite a few people have tried to find a reliable source for this "legendary" incident, but so far nobody has succeeded. However, even if a perfect source were to be found, the crash in any case does not qualify for inclusion, per the WP:AIRCRASH criteria: nobody died, only a single light aircraft was destroyed, and no new law or regulation was created as a consequence of the accident.

Merger proposal
The Lanseria article suggests that Lanseria is a place name larger that just the airport. I have however mapped that area extensively for OpenStreetMap and never came across a place name sign. If Lanseria is indeed a place name, it may not be notable. -- Nic Roets (talk) 13:39, 30 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Merge, or simply delete Lanseria, it has no content that isn't already in the airport article anyway. AIUI there is no part of a place called Lanseria outside the airport property, or in other terms: Lanseria minus the airport equals nothing. Roger (talk) 13:51, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
