**Airfield Numansdorp** *([Dutch](/source/Dutch_language): **vliegveld Numansdorp**)* is a private owned [airfield](/source/Airport) just south of the hamlet Middelsluis in [Numansdorp](/source/Numansdorp), [South Holland](/source/South_Holland). The airfield is used once a year by [Rotterdam](/source/Rotterdam) Football club [Feyenoord](/source/Feyenoord) to fly their new players to their stadium, nicknamed [De Kuip](/source/De_Kuip), during their season opening event. It is also home to a [paragliding](/source/Paragliding)-club[1] and occasionally used for events, like [agricultural](/source/Agricultural) shows.[2]

## History

Airport Numansdorp was a private airfield on the northern edge of the village of [Numansdorp](/source/Numansdorp), south of [Rotterdam](/source/Rotterdam), [Netherlands](/source/Netherlands). It started as just an airstrip which had its first flight in 1967. It was intended solely for the use of [cropdusters](/source/Aerial_application). Multiple air fetes were organised in the 1990s, when Mr. Jan Bogaerds, the owner of the airport would invite cropdusters to show off their agility.[2]

As late as 2011, the province of [South Holland](/source/South_Holland) officially declared the terrain an airfield, allowing around 120+ starts a year. That same year a Dutch TV show used the airfield for a flight in a helicopter. [2]
