Confusion

Apparently we must distinguish two aerodromes: on the one hand the former Soviet Air Base, LKML, now closed; on the other hand the active ultralight field LKMILO. I consider adding a separate entry, but it remains confusing. NB: thanks to @Bill35 for pointing out the official CZ VFR flight guide!

Looks like the typical socialist-era cropduster strip (An-2!), current activity status unclear

Unusual

This is a bit of a queer aerodrome: first and most of all it serves the helicopters of the Meravo company; but it also has a grass runway for the exclusive use of 4 SEP planes of a local aeroclub.

I read all the moaning , it's a pity JFK didn't land here instead of "Love Field"

re: Bankstown

Appears to be true, every example of a student from Bankstown I have encountered was terrifying. They were woefully inept, remarkably low IQ, and had barely a grasp of the English language. All of them were foreigners too. Makes me wonder if you guys have any Australians left down there. I'm sure that Karen's and Daren's virtue signalling on Facebook for social good boy points about how happy they are with the foreign food are having a field day though.

re: Where else to go and practice/learn how to fly???

Your English language skills are so poor it terrifies me that you're operating an aircraft in Australia. This is a shameful display of the low bar of the CAA these days.

More aviation history about to be "redeveleoped"

This airport closed in November 2022 and is slated to be turned into a residential development. What a waste.

re: A Great Addition To Western Leyte Air Commuters

While devastated by Typhoon Haiyan/Yolanda and a subsequent 2017 earthquake, Ormoc Airport has since been rebuilt, with a new passenger terminal opened in 2019.

This airstrip was closed in the 1980s.

NEW GRASS LANDING STRIP

In early November 2023, a north-south landing strip with markers on both sides, was observed south of Herb's Plaza, along Tannery Road.

Offshore oddball

Has a Dutch ICAO code, but is in the Belgian EEZ.

Previous note applies to NL-0041

See subject line. This airfield is the currently active field and now has an ICAO code.

HUGE AIRPORT

Refueled here before going to Mexico

Excellent FBO

Good fuel prices

Picture of rstan

Very Nice FBO

I would use this airport for a stopover again

Picture of animebirder

re: Closing all operations

As of 2023, the airfield is still visible, but largely covered by solar panels. That would be a very expensive emergency landing now.

Nice grass strip that's not used too much.

Took my brother and his wife out to get a tacoma that he had purchased. Chad was great and even cam out and marshaled me in to his back yard. The truck happed to be for sale at his next door neighbor.

Picked up My first Lifeline pilot passengers.

Future Chennault Field

This is the original 1970s crop dusting airport whose footprint would later be reused as the basis for 2020s Chennault Field.

Closed effective Nov 30, 2023

This airport will finally be closing at the end of November. See AIC 16/23 for more information.

Picture of animebirder

re: Reported as (temporarily) closed

Reply to @david: Reopened in 2018 but only for military use, which seems to remain the case in 2023.

Picture of animebirder

As of 2023

The cleared area at the south end of the runway trace is clearly a soccer field.

Active 1922-1963

Namesake of the "Aerodrom" area, this first airport for Skopje was in use from 1922 until the day of the Skopje earthquake, 26 Jul 1963, when it and 80% of the city of Skopje were destroyed.

Been there many times by foot .

The green X is on the wrong side of the river . If you look straight north of it you will see it .

The biggest moose ever shot in Alberta was shot on this air strip .

Claims to fame (infamy?)

Site of the 1988 Ramstein airshow disaster which killed 72 spectators, 3 pilots, and injured hundreds more people. This disaster was in turn the namesake of the heavy metal band Rammstein.

Caution advised when operating in and out of this airport.

re: Uninhabited island

Reply to @david: The complication here is that listing this as "France" defaults it to being in Europe, which geographically, it absolutely clearly isn't! Unfortunately, unlike every other French possession, it lacks its own jurisdictional codes ... for now.

Picture of animebirder

Heliport oddity!

Evidently a heliport aboard a stationary boat (the Commandant Fourcault) which has an ICAO code?!?

Picture of animebirder

Temporary heliport

In use primarily for the World Economic Forum.

Active air force base...

... but inactive aviation facilities.

Repurposed duplicate to cover a different aviation facility in central Texas.
