WHOOPS
Sorry, but I messed up.
Missing from website.
I had to add this in due to the fact it’s not on le website, also for some reason the ICAO and IATA codes were not working, so I had to do some random words. (ICAO : CYSR / IATA : YSR)
9NC0 is in Charlotte, though, right?
I think the correct designation for Raleigh East is W17, at least per flightaware, airportguide, and airnav.
Those 3 sites also show 9NC0 as being in Charlotte.

re: Re: Placename Translation
Reply to @animebirder: I totally disagree, some other places airports in the same country have their aiports names translated and not transliterated like: Port Said, in the local accent people pronounce the name as "porsaid" and another airport western cairo ( It is name is "Sphinx Airport" not "Abu El Hol Airport" - the first name is popular -), so, translation - when it is possible - is better than transliteration.
re: Upgrade
Reply to @pilotfan21: all of the above is done!
Infamy
Once used for drug smuggling by the so-called "Columbus Air Force".
Emergency use airfield.

It’s a nice dirt airport, it’s been busy with the wildfires lately with planes and helicopters landing
Fuel price is still ok
5.34 in May 2023
Former N/S farm airstrip ...
Now long since overshadowed by the massive Michael Heizer art installation, "City", which is many times larger than this airstrip ever was.
re: What airport?
Location updated to Lat -30.4914, Lon 152.0837
Some old parts of apron still there
Just saying that some of the apron is still there along with some taxiways.
re: (no subject)
Reply to @JitendraPS: Wrong Alexandria, that's Borg El Arab International Airport serving Alexandria, Egypt, and this is Alexandria Airport which is a small rural airport serving Alexandria, Indiana, USA. Please be aware there are many localities in the world with duplicated names.

re: Location not correct
Reply to @phicong: Moved. Thanks for the report.
Location not correct
The actual field is slightly to the northeast on the other side of the road.
re: Pixelated -- military stuff
Reply to @david: No longer an issue now that we've moved to Leaflet and ESRI satellite imagery.
Airline service
I notice that Hanscom has airline service now -- great alternative to (overcrowded) KBOS. I've updated the record.
Amazing scenery
The views coming into this airport are incredible!

re: Update, airport closed from Google maps view.
Reply to @mikeiaka: whoops, it’s the runway that seems to look like that’s it’s getting demolished.
Update, airport closed from Google maps view.
Seems to look closed, so I settled it from open to closed.

re: Great little airport with plenty of action
Reply to @Herbthebird: The AN-2 is NOT the largest biplane ever produced. Look at the HP42 for just one counter-example, or the Vickers Vimy for another. I agree, though, that Grenchen is a very nice airfield; only a bit on the expensive side, like everything in Switzerland.
re: incorrect position
Reply to @adidas: Thanks for the edit.
incorrect position

Runway A-OK (in the middle)
Longest DT that I’ve ever overflown (3300’), but that’s the crumbing half. The remainimg usable runway is in fine condition, far better than the ramp which will need a gingerly low-power taxi to minimize flinging FOD. Speaking of taxis, get that pre-arranged with your lodging because you are quite a way from the handsome town. We loved the Casona de Tete near the center. Only five rooms! A truly worthwhile, memorable stop.
