Remains open
There is literally a C208 on FlightAware bound here from Miami as I type this.
Closed 2022
This airport closed very recently. Wonder if they've gotten the skydiving King Air out of there since I last visited in February.
re: Sad that this is now slated to be closed soon!
Reply to @shumphries: Seems like a tough time for Texas country airports. I saw this happen to Luling Carter Field last year.
Don't land here yourself, multiple times
Ignore the spammer. This is very much a private airport, and this is a gentle reminder that inclusion on this website does not imply that any facility is open to public access or safe for landing. Please check with local authorities or the property owner (if applicable) before attempting to land anywhere that is not a known public airport.
re: Not sure why tagged as a "spam airport".
Reply to @animebirder: I've rejected the problem report.
re: Highway Airstrips in Cuba
Please note that there is no separate heading for military-use airports in OurAirports, and that the inclusion of any aviation facility on this site does not imply permission to land there, given the thousands of private-use airstrips and heliports in the United States alone.
Moreover, many airports throughout the world are dual-use military-civilian, including my closest major airport (Austin Bergstrom International) which hosts a National Guard unit. So having a separate "military" category would make this very difficult as the same facility cannot be listed multiple times with the same ICAO code under different categories.
Airports on OuAirports are categorized by size and frequency of use, so "Small Airport" would be the most salient category for highway airstrips due to their infrequency of employment.

Best Tuna Melt in the Congo. Simply kengetastic!
Available chart ?
Hi, anybody could confirm that aeronautical charts exists for Brunette Downs airport ?
If yes, how to get it ?
Thanks in advance
Includes the Jack F. Paulus Skiway
The Skiway is essentially a runway for the station.
Subantarctic research station
This research station is administratively part of Cape Town, despite the fact that it's over 2,100 km away.

2022 Update
Unlike its twin to the east-southeast, this ultralight airport continues to thrive for now.
Update 2022
N/S runway still appears intact, but hangar structures appear to have been demolished.
Found it!
Evidently disused, but it exists.
LSA Fly-Ins
Attended the small light sport aircraft fly-in here in March 2022, their website lists this as twice a year, so keep your eyes peeled!
re: This may be defunct
Reply to @AdventureAviator: It's pretty long since defunct and has been marked as closed.
re: (no subject)
Reply to @espinielli: Clearly had to be towed or trucked there somehow, considering the lack of runway (or VTOL capability). Pretty wild.
re: penguins...
Reply to @feitidede: Please refrain from spam comments, there are no penguins this far inland. Thank you.
Dibangun dalam beberapa tahun lagi..

Very friendly bunch here
You can spend the night there
I had an early flight and slept inside the airport. Besides the restaurant, which is close during the night, you can sleep there in a comfortable way. You can get to the airport from downtown Gdansk for about 1 euro (4.8 sloti). I The journey takes about 40 minutes. The bus is number 210.
re: KP 395 Decommisioned
According to AIC 04/20 it wasn't decommisioned yet, it is planned to be disabled by 2025.
1970 is more than 22 years before 2018.
Looks like this airport did exist ... 40 to 50 years ago.
Dual-use facility
JMSDF Chichijima Airfield has both a seaplane ramp (ShinMaywa US-2 patrol flying boats) and a heliport.
airpark?
looked like a really nice airpark community has been recently built here

re: Frenchy's Cassette Tape - The Art of Flying
I still have the 8 track tape.
Formerly Pendleton Airpark
Used to be Pendleton Airpark, 77NY. Note the unusual runway designation, E-W rather than 09-27.
Shares runways with EBBR
But has a different ICAO, so maintaining the separate heading is necessary.
Inspiration for the musical Come from Away
A former transatlantic crossroads before the jet era, Gander was one of the airports that housed stranded travelers when American airspace was closed due to the events of September 11, 2001; Gander International received 7000 passengers from thirty-eight planes. The incredible hospitality of the Newfoundlanders inspired the musical Come from Away, which ran on Broadway from 2017 to 2022, and continues to spark interest from innumerable "Come-from-Aways" in the people and culture of the island.
Excellent condition gravel runway

Claimed as the highest airstrip in the world
At 16200 feet, this is definitely about as high-altitude as permanent facilities get. More information on the linked Wiki page, of course.

re: OurAirports doesn't delete closed airports
Reply to @animebirder: Thank you. Yes, that is correct. We keep closed airports in the database, but not closed heliports or floatplane bases (unless they have special historical interest; we haven't been too consistent, though). They are easy to filter out of the open data export.
OurAirports doesn't delete closed airports
Hi @mforte! My understanding is that closed airports remain on the database for historical records as well as to keep people informed for aviation safety reasons -- so pilots do not attempt to land there, but are aware the facility either exists or previously existed. There is also the chance that if a closed airport still exists, it may still be used in case of emergency (ie Air Canada Flight 143, 23/07/1983).
This also allows passengers and pilots to log historical visits that occurred in the past (ie my own visit to Hong Kong Kai Tak in 1980).
Cheers!
Great airpark!
Flew in today for an open house for a couple of the properties on the field. Nice place!
