Comment by @maasdoel on Sua Pan Airport, Botswana:

Field managed by Botash, Prior permission normally required, no fuel (mogas per jerry can), hanger / shade for the use of Botash aircraft don’t park there (unless you are Botash).

Accommodation at the Chilly Pot (S20 32' 49.4",E026 04' 44.7") 3.4 km by road to the NWW ,reasonable & clean (Not up market) rooms (Pre-Fab buildings), food good, aircons broken. You will fly final approach over it if you are landing from the west.

[FBNN] "Wrong location?" by david

Comment by @david on Nokaneng Airport, Botswana:

I think that this should actually be the location of FBGM (Gumare Airport), since it's right north of the town of Gumare. The village of Nokaneng is 30-40 km to the south. Even Garmin has this wrong (if it is wrong).

Comment by @david on Gumare Airport, Botswana:

I think that this airport should actually be where FBNN (Nokaneng Airport) is shown just to the north of the town of Gumare, and FBNN should be 30-40 km south in the village of Nokaneng. If that's true, though, then even Garmin has it wrong right now. Currently, everyone shows Gumare more-or-less in the middle of the town.
