Waldorf International Airport[edit]

Hoax and not a very good one. Zero results on Google or Google news, a ridiculous combination of runways, and according to Google maps terrain view there isn't enough flat land within 12km of Howick to land a hang glider let alone a Boeing 747. dramatic (talk) 04:30, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I really want it to be true, but it obviously isn't. Lacks any form of verification. No mention of it in List of airports in South Africa either. -- Scjessey (talk) 04:54, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as hoax. Absolutely nothing in the net supports this. A lot of work went into this. Too bad they couldn't put their efforts into constructive editing. On a side note, Waldorf Salad International Airport would've been funnier. --Oakshade (talk) 15:02, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Although I would say that this is one of the more entertaining hoaxes that we've had in awhile. I liked the description of the nine runways ("Four of them are asphalt runways, one is a concrete runway, one is a grass runway, two are soil runway, one is a grooved asphalt runway and another one is a gravel runway") and the list of all the world's airlines that fly in and out of Howick. It would take billions of dollars to construct this, and I'm not talking Zimbabwe dollars. When did it get constructed? Oh yeah, July 2. Mandsford (talk) 15:26, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What alerted me to it was their choice of Wellington for the New Zealand destination. The runway is too short for long-haul aircraft there (You can fly to Australia and the Pacific). Once a long-haul 747 had to make an emergency landing in Wellington. To get it airborne again, they had to remove all the seats and take off with a minimum fuel load into a gale, with pilot and copilot only! dramatic (talk) 18:56, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
