East of the Bahai Gardens and south of Kibbutz Shomrat.
When located in the British Mandate of Palestine during World War II the airfield was used as a military airfield by the British Royal Air Force and the United States Army Air Forces during the North African Campaign against Axis forces.
Today the Shomrat Skydiving Dropzone is active nearby. The Kibbutz Shomrat "Hazanhaniyh” club is located next to St Jean The club is in the process of renovating that airstrip.
At the south end of the air strip aeronautics are flying their model planes, mostly in the weekends.
* Spoiler: this is the place of the cache at the north side of the air strip.
Here as extra reward for finding the cache a banner you can put on your profile page!
