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.

Stunning New Aerodrome
Impressive work on the aerodrome and the website! Itβs clear a lot of dedication has gone into both the operations and the online presence. Looking forward to seeing continued growth here. Well done!

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.
not sure??
im not sure if this is an actual airstrip
i've tried to do some digging, and i haven't found much?
topo maps dont say anything about this "private strip" having a landing strip at all
i don't think its real.
fort myers city airport:
there is proof regarding the existence of fort myers city airport. if you wish for more information, reach out to me on discord if you have the app, at gr_clyn.
fort myers city airport was used after page field was taken over by the government for training during ww2. the airport would be used to handle general aviation temporarily, having three runways, with the longest being a 2,000' north to south sod strip. it was closed in 1945 after the USAAF handed page field back.
this was a fun airport
i like RSW, it's a very quiet and nice airport to be at, when we first went to RSW, there were a few fun stores in the terminal to explore, and a few nice restaurants. i'd say my local airport is a 9.5/10.
i think you might have to go in between security checkpoints to get to different stores though. take that with a grain of salt, considering i haven't been to RSW in 2 years.
some things about telegraph creek airport:
freeman's abandoned airfields has good info on the airport
it can also be referred to as alva airfield.
telegraph creek airport was first put on the 1987 usgs topo map.
telegraph creek was supposedly ran by a doctor in the local area of alva, having a 1,800' asphalt northeast/southwest runway, as well as a small ramp and a hanger.
the airstrip was closed between 1992-1994, after a 1994 USGS aerial photo had shown the two ends of the runway being X'd off.
by information i've obtained from freeman's abandoned airfields, the airstrip SUPPOSEDLY was closed after the doctor's death, with his widow X'ing off both ends of the airstrip. currently, photos of the airstrip as of 2010 have shown construction equipment parked in front of the hangar. currently, alva airfield is deteoriating, but is still shown to have a semi-intact runway. as for the condition of the hangar and ramp, if anyone lives in the alva area that sees this comment, if it isn't trespassing, can you maybe check it out, and if you do, just reply to the comment about the state of the hangar and ramp. thanks.
Flight school,
ESMI is home to a few flying clubs covering most classes.
One of them is SkΓ₯nska Gyrokopterklubben ( www.gyroflyg.se ), Sweden's first and largest flying club with a flying school for modern ultralight gyroplanes (sometimes called gyrocopters or autogiros), 3-axes ultralight aircraft and weight-shift trikes. There is a charging station for electric cars, overnight stay, fuel...

re: note:
to also note:
this airport is listed as operational ( i think? ) by the FAA.
it is believed locally that the airport is closed. it's conflicting, as mosquito control locally is said to have repurposed the land?
not sure.
i'd keep an eye on the status of it, as some groups list woodstock as permanently closed.
note:
let it be made clear that this airport is actively owned by lee county mosquito control.
it is no longer for civilian access at this moment, i believe.

Hello
If you're not up to date, both airports are recognized by the UN as Moroccan Airports.
A new FIR will be created in the next months, under the Moroccan Control.
Please change your data.

Craziest "international" airport I've ever seen. Probably a small part of it is in the US and a part is in Canada.

Typical American "international" airports.
First comment.
Will be the main international airport of Bougainville.
Airlines = yes
This reflects seasonal service by JSX to places like Taos

Although not paved, really well marked and flattened. One of the best-quality dirt runways I've ever seen.

Mixed opinions
Funnily enough the last time someone commented was the first time I flew out of this airport. It was closed due to a fire that happened. I was 8 years old, we boarded the aircraft from the ground via airstair. KLM566 August 16th, 2013 B744
Frequented throughout 24-25 for college
It's ok, being outdoor and all does get kinda tiring but I still fell in love with this city and miss it dearly.

Incredibly wide runway.

A really busy domestic airport in Myanmar, serving a popular tourist destination.

Something interesting is that there's an airplane-shaped lake east of the terminal building.
SFO
United Airlines launched new routes from San Francisco to this airport. Starting in the end of March.
First comment.
Third largest airport in French Guyana.
First comment.
The airport exists, but not shown on this satellite because the satellite images are extremely outdated. However, you can seeit on Google Maps, which is www.maps.app.goo.gl/fpxZwnM5JkoduxZe8 .

According to calculation, if they add up all three runways, including the one closed together, they can form a 3451 m by 45 m runway.(just bored)

Closed in 2010.

The airport is still unoperational. It doesn't even have a proper terminal building.
