Idroscalo di Spotorno
The Spotorno Seaplane Base is a flight school for seaplanes and also offers tourist flights in the area. The Spotorno Seaplane Base is connected to the Pianfei airfield, which is located on land and not on the sea, just a few kilometers away. The official website is provided above.
First comment.
The airport is temporarily used by Kuwaiti airlines as an alternative to Kuwait International Airport due to the Iran war.
McGill Artic Station
Unprepared tundra landing area with uneven surface and variable bearing strength. STOL operations only; subject to katabatic winds, turbulence, and surrounding terrain hazards. Low-level reconnaissance pass required prior to landing.
Usable
This airport is still usable for light aircraft with tundra tires.
here is the real answer
so the real name is wonsan kalma international airport not wonsan kalma airport. people say the airport name is wonsan kalma airport because the the rugular flights is domestic

CUF information 2
is the only active scheduled international route
re: Rounded coordinates for runways
Reply to @GeoFS: The internal coordinate precession is six decimals, only the change report is rounded to four decimals.
CUF information.
The route is operated by Air Arabia Maroc.
It mainly serves:
the Moroccan community in Northern Italy
ethnic traffic (families, work)
It is a low-cost route and relatively easy to fill.

re: meteo?
Reply to @Gkikas_LGPZ: None yet,No, we don’t have a weather station providing met reports for the aerodrome yet. We know it would be really useful and we’re actively looking into getting one, but we’re still researching the best option for our setup.
Do you have any recommendations for a good weather station suitable for our airfield?
Thanks!
re: History
Reply to @Bollardant2: thank you
i've been wondering if this airport was real for a while now.
History
First depicted on a 1988 Goulds topographic map with an approximately 280m long curved airstrip. Interestingly, the runway is striked with an X, possibly indicating closure. It was also depicted on the 1994 Goulds topographic map with the X. By 1999, the site was overgrown, and became part of a plantation by 2002.
History
The airstrip first appeared in a 1974 Everglades topographic map measuring approximately 1,300 metres long. In the 1987 West Palm Beach topographic map, it was listed as “Southern Ranch.” Maintenance of the strip seems to have ceased after 2022.
Fun Little Airport!
Went planespotting here for a few hours. It was a pretty fun experience, especially being someone without that much zoom on his camera. Even got to see the local Stearman “Cloud Dancer” take off and land!
re: note!
Reply to @labubuairportenthusiast: hey its me!
for simplicity, i'll refer to this strip as "CLS", for coopland landing strip.
so anyways, this airport seems to have been established between 1994-1999? it's first viewed on a aerial of the area in 1999 with activity. i used the official property search for miami-dade county, and found the folio number. this parcel was owned by a company named "BAAAMA IV LLC", which (take this with a grain of salt) takes back to leonard abess, a banker from the miami area. CLS may've been used as a private airstrip, considering that the county lists the parcel as a agricultural area, as a nursery. but for the status of the actual airport's operation, i'm not 100% sure, but there is proof from the county's property search that it IS owned. do whatever you want with this information. it might be kinda useless, but hey, it's cool to learn or something
note!
i'm working on gathering information about coopland landing strip for further reference.
CORRECT location, ignore the first entry.
the ACTUAL bright hour ranch airport. disregard the one to the west of arcadia, that is NOT the actual location of BHR.
accident
i accidentally fucked this up if possible can anyone delete this
re: (no subject)
Reply to @ReefShore316: why tf did you make it in the first place
re: not sure??
reefshore i mean sure but at the same time it wouldnt necessarily be a airstrip just because its a long cleared plot of land, but to each their own
re: not sure??
Reply to @labubuairportenthusiast: thank you my good sir
the marker is too far south.
can you lock the fuck in
southern ranch airport is above this marker, towards where the canal turns
meteo?
Is there a weather station providing meteorological reports for the aerodrome?
Planes goes vrooom
Well since I'm directly underneath the flight path just around aloha area, that makes me always seen aircraft quite close and that made me happy
re: not sure??
Reply to @labubuairportenthusiast: I do agree. It may have simply been a cleared plot of land and a storage warehouse. I have personally found some information regarding the land. It was owned by Klein Farms Inc, which was established in 1977 and remained there until it was administratively dissolved in September 2000. There are no airstrips that are listed as under their ownership.
If they were to use a crop dusting service, it is more than likely that they would hire a local aerial applicator rather than building their own airstrip as it is cost effective.

re: GA gyro center
Reply to @animebirder: Note: there was some documentary confusion with a completely unrelated GA field in Pampanga which has been cleared up.
GA gyro center
This hilltop strip appears to have been a nexus of gyro and helicopter activity until a 2020 crash at this location lcaimed the life of proprietor pilot Ferris Kauley. Given the preponderance of "FK" related aviation "hubs" in this area, and the lack of further documented activity, the combination of the COVID downturn and the organizer's death seems to have completely stifled further GA efforts into south Cebu, unless newer information is available.
Short-lived GA strip
Home of Fly A Gyro Cebu, this strip was evidently cleared out in 2017, but the 2020 COVID pandemic shuttered operations and the owner appears to have moved on to other endeavors. No further information available.
re: not sure??
Reply to @labubuairportenthusiast: Only reason I think this is a airport (don’t hate me) is that a see a “hanger looking” building and some “runway lights” in the end of the runway.

Tropicbird, Volcano, Waterfalls
Agreed that Tropicbird is a great rental choice. I took the 172 up with Trek and we flew counterclockwise round the island. Captain Cook point, the volcano (missed the erruption by a week!). over Hilo, along the NE shores with 1000ft waterfalsl straight into the ocean, then back up over the saddle and down into Kona. Amazing approach from the north over the water.

why is this still up
Stunning New Aerodrome
Impressive work on the aerodrome and the website! It’s clear a lot of dedication has gone into both the operations and the online presence. Looking forward to seeing continued growth here. Well done!
Cape Town's Newest Private GA Field!
Atlantic Aerodrome is Cape Town's newest private General Aviation airfield, located in the scenic Swartland wheat fields just off the N7 (less than 30 minutes from the CBD). Currently operational in phased development, with full opening planned for September 2026. Features include an 854m asphalt runway (02/20), edge lighting, planned APAPI approach lights, helipad, and fuel (MOGAS, AVGAS, Jet A-1). Private use – Prior Permission Required (PPR). Radio: 124.4 MHz (traffic/UNICOM/CTAF-style). Visit www.flyatlantic.co.za for more details and to arrange visits. Looking forward to welcoming fellow pilots!
re: crazy
Reply to @aldy:
This is only a domestic airport, with only occasional flights to Pyongyang, so without international flights or enough passengers(5M+ usually if domestic only), despite its large facility, it is not a large airport.
Lehigh Acres Airpark
This is yet another airpark that is formerly existent. I have seen evidence and proof, from the 1987 Miami Sectional Chart, and from topography maps. Lehigh Acres Airpark was in existence between 1944-1953, and was active until around the time period of the early to mid 90s.
Casa Ybel Airport / Island Beach Club Airport
This airport has been seen on the 1958 USGS topography map, depicted as a landing strip. In 1969, the 1969 FL Aeronautical Chart would depict the airstrip as private. Casa Ybel is very much real, and has been proven to exist, and is now built over by homes.
Remuda Ranch/Port of the Islands
This airstrip was active and built on the western edge of a community, and was depicted on the 1971 Miami Sectional Chart, as well as the 1971 USGS topography map. Remuda Ranch had a single north-south paved runway, and between the 1970s-1980s, was renamed to Port of the Islands. Port of the Islands would then close in between 1994-1999.
Glacier du Dolent
🔗 Tue, 31 Mar 2026
— @Pugliapilot at Glacier du Dolent, Italy
1. Valley entry
enter via:
Val Ferret (Italy or Switzerland)
low altitude → gradual climb
2. Reconnaissance (essential)
first high pass (300–500 ft above)
check:
slope
wind (snow drift indications)
crevasses
3. Direction choice
Always:
land into the wind
BUT also:
land uphill (uphill landing)
n the mountains this is more important than the runway itself
4. Final approach
short and direct
no guaranteed go-around.
A very dangerous area for landings, and difficult even for experienced mountain pilots. Yet, from time to time, someone still lands there or performs a touch-and-go without leaving any documentation of the landing spot or the type of approach used
