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.

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.

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.

Airlines = yes

This reflects seasonal service by JSX to places like Taos

It's ok, being outdoor and all does get kinda tiring but I still fell in love with this city and miss it dearly.

re: Website find

This airport did exist. Recently the "X" at the end of the runway was paved over. The old runway is currently being used as a taxiway for the landing strip across the street.

It was planned to have six runways, with 2 of them 5000 m, 4 of them 4500 m. I don't understand why it was planned to be so long, but it would be really exciting if it were completed.

I was always really excited about the finish of the airport, but sadly, the construction was abandoned. Felipe Angeles is nice too and is way cheaper than building this one, but it's too far away from Mexico City. I hope at some day they could restart the construction because Mexico City really needs a large and close airport.

(From Google Maps the runway shape looked like 5km long. You can measure it.)

Not international anymore, all international flights have moved to Palmerola(XPL) in 2021. It remains for domestic and general aviation.

Great spot to fly into for a meal, if you don't mind a dirt strip.

Had a p51 chase me in the pattern. Cool to see that plane fly!

re: Beef

Reply to @pilotal: probably because of the massive facility north of the airport. You can smell it from 3000ft AGL!

Can be busy

When I landed on a Friday afternoon this place was super busy. 5 planes in the pattern for 31, one for 19 and a jet on approach for 31!

The airport is almost completed and is expected to be fully done in 2027. It will replace Douglas Charles Airport immediately after opening. The airport will feature a 3000 m runway.

Been to Point Pleasant and stayed in Gallipolis. The riverboats passing by were very cool and I recommend coming here if you're ever in the area!

Reply to @ReefShore316: I couldn’t find any record of such airport named "Lykes Mass Romor Airport." The location also points to a private road with no clear indications of two grass airstrips. Are you sure an airport of such name exists?

Despite the super short runways, it's Passengers per year is still over 10 million, incredibly busy.

I agree with @Bill35 's edit.

This might be the smallest airport that handles over 10 million passengers per year.

Brief History

Miami Municipal Airport (demolished) Improvements - Miami FL ...Miami Municipal Airport (later Amelia Earhart Field) was Miami's first major airport, built on Glenn Curtiss-donated land, opening in 1929 as a vital hub for airlines like Pan Am and Eastern, famously housing Amelia Earhart's plane before her 1937 global flight; it thrived until the Navy took over in WWII, eventually closing in the 1950s, with its site now mostly developed, leaving only historical memories of its pivotal role in early aviation.

Key Stages:

Origins (Early 1900s - 1928): Aviation pioneer Glenn Curtiss donated land, leading to the construction of the field, initially known as Glenn Curtiss Field.

Miami Municipal Airport (1929-1940s): Became the official Miami Municipal Airport in 1929, hosting major airlines (Eastern, National, Pan Am) and events like the All-American Air Maneuvers.

Amelia Earhart Connection (1937): The field gained fame as the departure point for Amelia Earhart's final, ill-fated world flight attempt, with her Lockheed Electra based there.

WWII & Closure (1942-1950s): The U.S. Navy took over the facility during World War II, and after the war, it was officially closed in the late 1940s/early 1950s, making way for Miami's new, larger International Airport.

Renaming & Legacy (1947): The airport was renamed Amelia Earhart Field in her honor in 1947, though no physical structures remain today, its history lives on.

MSBB is a private Seaplane base on Marathon florida. It was owned by Jamie rash which also owned Cove dusters Field. The largest plane seen here was a Twin otter that flew to Flying bone fish many times. James Keyback says.. β€œ I’ve wanted to fish for macarellas so i pulled up to this marina and i was suprised to see a Cessna 172 Seaplane on the Dock” There are two runways 1-19 2362 ft and 8-26 1297 ft and both intersect in a L shape.

New 2200 m runway, but still not shown in the satellite image. I wonder when it will.
