Vincent Fajks Airstrip (IATA: OEM, ICAO: SMPA) is an airstrip serving Paloemeu, Suriname. The airport was constructed as part of Operation Grasshopper. It was named after the Polish pilot Vincent Fajks who crashed with co-pilot Ronald Kappel with their  Aero Commander AC 520 (PZ-TAG) airplane at the site in October 1959, while trying to deliver building materials for the airport.[3] They both received a state funeral in Paramaribo on 11 October 1959.[4] There is a jungle resort on the Tapanahony River near Paloemeu.[5]
