What people fly for in Potchefstroom
Potchefstroom is a university, farming and military town on the Mooi River, and each of those shapes drone use. Students and lecturers on campus use drones for research, agriculture and media projects, while grain and cattle farms around Ventersdorp and toward Parys ask for crop mapping and spraying. Army bases sit in and around town, and military land is not a place to fly. Potchefstroom's airfield adds an airspace check, and the Vredefort Dome World Heritage Site to the east draws filmers who need landowner permission. Boskop Dam and the Lakeside resort are popular with hobby pilots. Winters are cold and clear, and summer afternoons bring thunderstorms and hail.
