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!

Welcome Zoufftgen!
As flying member of this airfield near Luxembourg, it had to be present on Ourairports.com !

The best fish and chips!
I heard the rumors, it took me a while to venture down here, but the fish were phenomenal! I loved the theme of the restaurant (very similar to Randy's at Boeing (RIP).
Not much left to land on!
Maybe for a helicopter, or for Scrappy or Draco (RIP), but most of the airfield was eroded away
Coastal Airport (83J) is closed (Closed in 2014)
Coastal Airport was closed and is now an Escambia County school. It was a fun airport, my daughter sat in her first glider here. The gliders moved over to a nearby field in Alabama, just up the road a piece. The airfield closed sometime in 2014 and was not even on the 2017 sectional as a closed airfield. I was sad to learn that it was no longer there as it was a place that I enjoyed watching the glider at.

Runway is a bit deteriorated
Beware of lots of cracks and weeds on the runway when landing here.
They have complimentary bicycles here as well but were not usable due being in disrepair. Hopefully they will fix them because I want to go back!
Some things to keep in mind flying to Orillia Ramara airport
1. The beginning of rwy 30 slopes upwards but this isn't listed in the CFS.
2. Lots of birds grazing on the grass.
3. The ARCAL is apparently private and I couldn't activate them when I flew overhead the field one night recently, so keep this in mind if staying here till dark.
4. The taxiway just off the runway is very narrow, so be sure to listen to any traffic on the ground as two planes can't squeeze past each other on the narrow section
5. Airport restaurant is tasty and has live music as well, (a bit expensive though) if fly-and-dining is your cup of tea. A bit strange of me to mention, but the pictures in the male washroom are very funny!
re: Great airport for night fliers
Reply to @cessna1504lyfe: Also another thing to add, an AWOS is available here on 122.55.
Not sure why it's not listed in the CFS.
Great airport for night fliers
Self serve fuel + comfortable and neat 24/7 lounge has made this airport a memorable one for me. Be sure to leave money in the box in the kitchen if you take any water bottles or snacks.
re: loved the courtesy car
Reply to @cessna1504lyfe: Oh and watch out for deer when driving, they're everywhere on the island.
loved the courtesy car
Nothing makes a trip to such a peaceful and picturesque airport better than a courtesy car!
Was able to see much more than I planned on. It's a minivan, perfect for small groups flying in, just contribute 20$ for the upkeep and make sure you bring it back at the same fuel level and it's yours for the day. Just call them in advance and reserve it to be sure of having it on the day you fly there.

Not GMAR
I removed the GMAR ICAO code from this strip, and created the real GMAR a couple of kilometers north.
Fuel Stop on the way to KMKV
Fueled up here. Very friendly Operator and gave me a free water.

I met a couple of gentlemen on a Cherokee 6/300 I was interested in. Sadly I came home empty.

re: The Phoenix from the ashes
How much did they pay you for this? LOL! This airpark is anything but....
Never again......
Almost hit a herd of deer. Some basic security fencing around this field should be mandated. If that wasn't enough a farmer was plowing an adjacent field and I had to avoid a flock of seagulls (not the band lol). I've landed here before years ago, it was bad then. I will not return for the sake of my life. Nothing there or in the area for me. Plus those cross winds from the SW suck big time.
Closed
Area being redeveloped. E-W runway already mostly destroyed in recent sat maps, N-S runway remains.
The correct ICAO code (year 2022) is SD9C
The correct ICAO code (year 2022) for this airport is SD9C, as can be seen here:
