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.

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.

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: 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.

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.

Hey

Marjayoun airstrip (closed/abandoned)
Old British WWII airstrip.
Runway dimension update
The length of 09/27 is 1309 m. The Pooleys entry of 1307 m is to be updated.
The distance between the painted thresholds is 1000 m as this is the longest a licensed runway can be with a width of 23 m.
However 09/27 is now unlicensed. This means the full length of 1309 m is available for take-off and landing,
From the Turweston website 12 April 2023:
Turweston Aerodrome has tarmac and grass runways
These are designated
09/27 hard
09/27 grass
03/21 grass
The circuits are 09 – left hand and 27 – right hand
03 – right hand and 21 left hand
The marked 09 threshold is displaced by 210m and the 27 threshold by 99m
The tarmac runway is 1,309m x 23m with a declared distance of 1,000m between threshold bars, but as an unlicensed runway the distance of 1300m is available for take off or landing if required.
TORA 09 from B intersection is 900m
09/27 grass has an available length of 800m x 23m
03/21 grass has an available length of 460m x 23m
Tel al Zaatar/Dekwaneh Airfield
This strip was used during the Lebanese civil war, and was closed when hostilities ended.
