From reports at Airlines.net, from aircraft crash data, from airline schedules as early as 1991, and from the fact that the Soviets flew in supplies, I would say this airport was paved in 1981.

From other accounts of the battle you could include a platoon of Ratels, mech infantry from 61 Mech as they supported the SAI at the airport.

A minor point, but there were Soviet advisors at the battle supporting SWAPO/FAPLA forces.

Looking forward to your scenario.
