PS: These are Fictitious Airfields




Aviation around and in the Andes Mountains has been going on since the early 1900s. Many small airfields have been built for emergency purposes as well as private ones which are still open and many are closed and even banned and some have been dstroyed through the years.

This first part of "Dangerous Airfields of the Andes" brings you Four very dangerous ones for your enjoyment and will place you in very dangerous sorroundings that bush pilots in many places of the world face every day. I plan to bring you others from time to time..


LA RINCONADA...
Located in Peru near the border of Bolivia, this airfield is situated at 14, 435 FT in the Cordillera of the Andes. The airfield was built by Ernest Guntherbung back in 1954 when he found a gold mine and needed transportation to and from Cuzco to bring in tools and supplies as well as a speede way of moving the gold to his business in that city. After 10 years the mine went dry and now the only thing standing there is the old terminal building which Ernest had placed there. No regular flights happen any more and there is hardly any traffic there...

REPISA

In order to be very near the volcanoes that were studied by the World Phylphon Organization in 1964 a small field was constructed on a nearby ledge called La Repisa or the "Ledge". Closed for many years now its opened again since a new expedition is on its way. Fly out to it and do check it to confirm that it is still usable.

CERRO NEVADO RED CROSS STATION


The Cerro Nevado Red Cross Station has been active since 1934 as a rescue station for the many mountain climbers that come to the region and specially around the Aconcagua Mountain. Nurses train here to learn the techniques on mountain help to those that for one reason or other suffer accidents in this dangerous area. Fly two nurses there early in the morning with not very good weather conditions.

 LA GARGANTA DEL DIABLO

This field was banned by authorities in Colombia after an explosion in the nearby monastery. No one is sure what happened there but many are sure that evil worshipping was going on. Your curiosity has made you rent a plane and fly out there, some say that those who fly in there ans survive get to see the large "Devil Rock" that watches over the field.
