CDK - Cekar Key - FL
Still a challenging little strip with sea breezes. Town of Cedar key (shops, eateries, etc) is a bit depressed for past few years.
KSGJ - St Augustine Airport - FL
Nice Airport along Florida's East Coast - Florida Flyers very helpful with local flying information, tips. Enjoyed a coast line sightsee - views are fantastic.
KGNV - Gainesville - FL
An easy to locate airport, NE of City, North tip of Newnans Lake. Friendly controllers. Was able to use an available hanger over holidays free of charge (did buy fuel though).
KFLD - Fond du Lac - WI
In and out for a few hours - friendly ground services.

Current NOTAM (as of 21-Sep-2011) AD CLSD NGT - looks like airstrip is open again. Will be visiting in next few weeks for lunch and post review.
KFEP - Freeport/Albertus - Second Time.
Always like going into Freeport to meet up with the parents. Nice long strip, however it was short field landings today to maintain proficiency.
ICH - Incheon International Airport -
5 Hour layover - a unique and efficient layout.
HKG - Chek Lap Kok -
First time through HKG heading to Macau for business.

Reply to @airbound:
Lodge is opening for business. Airstrip, however is still closed and they were not sure if it would re-open. Flew over on 29-Jun-2011, one aircraft on taxiway indicated field was closed (wondered why they were down there but didn't ask).
GRB - Green Bay - Nice Class C
Very helpful for the first time visit
0C2 - Hinckley - Soaring, Soaring, Soaring
Windy City Soaring based at Hinckley (0C2).
Nice Grass Strip 2600x100.
Enjoyed a day of Soaring over North Central Illinois thanks to the Windy City Soaring club. Go check it out.
GIF - Winter Haven - Excellent Flight School (Tailwheelsetc)
Awesome experience with primary training. Intense and very rewarding. Family like environment.
LOT - Lewis - Mixed traffic
Busy field during primary training with mixed traffic. Pattern always seemed full and extending downwind was normal.
C09 - Morris - Quiet Airport
Nice for practice field outside of busy Chicago airspace.
C77 - Poplar Grove - Hard and Soft
Great airport for both Hard surface and soft surface TO/LDG
1C5 - Clow International - First Starts
I started primary training here a long while back.
Home to A&M Aviation - excellent training and services. Thanks Al.
3CK - Lake in the Hills - Blue Skies Pilot Shop
Just an awesome training, flying service and friendly people around.
06C - Schaumburg - Pilot Pete's !
What else to say - nice airport with a great restaurant under a class B shelf
CHN - Wauchula - Night approach
Same night training flight - Moonless, cloudless. Arriving from the south, fire up the PCL, you can see this one from 10 nm out
X25 - Arcadia - Night is Dark
Landed here during night training - moonless, cloudless, landing RWY 5 the runway lights/environment just float is a sea of darkness - needless to say the first landing approach was high.
LEE - Leesburg - Helpful ATC
One of the many airports on my solo XC during ASEL - controllers very helpful even recognizing return flights.
CGC - Crystal River - DQ Stop
Flew into CGC for Solo-XC as part of ASEL. Easy to spot from SE.
Extra bonus - a Dairy Queen adjacent to field, great refreshment after baking in the sun for a few hours.
KMSN - Madison - Wisconsin Aviation treats you very well
Awesome experience for a day trip into MSN.
Wisconsin Aviation had me park the Cherokee right up in front next the bus. jets -
Courtesy car available and clean.
C02 - Grand Geneva -
Another SE Wisconsin trip worth the visit. The resort is upscale and boasts a great lunch.
Town of Lake Geneva is a few minutes away and offers shops, water activities, beach. Just a great place to loaf a day away.
As the former Playboy club property from 1968 till 1983, there is an occasional re-union - how do I know? I just happened to take the father-in-law in for a flight.
C59 - Lake Lawn Lodge - Hope it reopens
A great place just to go for lunch.
Took the family for a day outing to play around the lodge.
Lodge and Airstrip closed in late 2010. I hear the lodge may re-open in 2011. Don't know about the airstrip.
05C - Griffith-Merrillville - Mexican Food on Airport
Great place for both 100LL and Human Fuel (on airport Mexican cafe).
If you're there at night during late summer, watch out for mosquitoes - they are huge and have a big appetite (I had quite the cabin cleanup after smashing a dozen or so).
KPGD - Punta Gorda - Awesome Bay Views
Views of the bay towards the west are fantastic.
X07 - Lake Wales - Lots of Rubber on the RWY
Many tire marks from my primary training at Lake Wales.
A bit deserted but a good place for practice
CDK - Cedar Key - Gulf Front
Awesome little strip just off the water - spectacular views.
Watch the sea breezes.
3D2 For the Day - Very Friendly
Flew into 3D2 for a day trip - lunch, sites.
Friendly Staff. Local business will ferry you between Airport and town or take the bicycles.
Nice Little AP
Like RWY 11, Rgt. Traffic, 2700".
Watch for feathered flying friends on approach.
