FSX Scenery--Robben Island Airstrip (AX78), South Africa. Robben Island is an island in Table Bay, some seven kilometers off the coast of Cape Town, South Africa. The name is Dutch for "Seal Island". Robben Island is roughly oval shaped with a disused gravel airstrip. It is of particular note as it was here that former South African President and Nobel Laureate Nelson Mandela and former South African President Kgalema Motlanthe, alongside many other political prisoners were imprisoned. During the Second World War, the island was fortified and guns were installed as part of the defences for Cape Town. Please install FSXWORX01.ZIP, FSXWORX02.ZIP, and the updates before this scenery.
