11-2005. Mpumalanga, S. Africa….the airport – which IS commercial – in Kruger National Game Preserve. Normally, National Parks don’t have their own commercial airports (duh); however, Kruger is over 90,000 sq miles. ALL of the materials used in its construction are 100% natural, such as: wood, thatching, stone, etc. Even the nails are wood pegs. Glass is the only exception; the runway is concrete because of international law. Not only is it 100% natural; it was NEVER tested on the bajillions of animals within miles of it — so it’s safe to fly into OR cunsume raw.
To pyromaniac-wannabees, like me, it’s a sensational bonfire waiting to happen.
WISELY: SMOKING ***IS*** ALLOWED. Native “logic” at its best.
