Talk to Beef Island (Terrance B. Lettsome International) is TUPJ (ICAO) like approach when VFR on 118.4. Claims in some places that 122.8 is UNICOM there but was quiet when I was there so not sure if that's accurate. Same for Beef Island on departure but airport personnel stated they can't receive when you're on the ground so they suggested contacting after airborn. On approach as well as departure they will ask souls and fuel duration on board.

Santa Monica Airport is closing on December 31st, 2028 after 50 years of complaints from locals (noise pollution, frequent crashes...) to be replaced by a huge parking lot
Does anyone have any info on this airstrip? It seems to be an equestrian facility and wedding venue on google maps but I can't find any info on any airstrip here.
The airport has four terminals and one FBO. Each terminal offers a variety of restaurants, stores, and many transportation companies for transfers. Some are good but used to be expensive. It's better to book transportation in advance because you could be scammed otherwise. Reliable transportation companies include Cancun Airport Transportation, Cancun Shuttles, and Airport Transportation and Taxi Aeropuerto Cancun.
Reply to @meredith: Oh, and I also took horseback riding lessons at Misty Manor Farm across from the airfield. 40 years later and I'm realizing I don't know how the horses handled the planes coming and going! The airport's owner, Al Bassler, wrote a book about Howard County history a couple of years ago at the young age of 97.
My mom used to have a small business selling planes and she sold out of Haysfield. This was also a great place to see Halley's Comet back in 1986, at the time the light pollution was pretty low. It's a bummer to see the location marker on top of a housing development in the satellite view.
I see that you have marked this airport as closed, however, I called them yesterday and they clearly said that they were open and that Jackie Hood Farms LLC was a fuel provider. They have it listed as Lawrence County Airport - 9A4 and the contact information is Glenn Reist lawrencecountyal.org/county-airport/. Phone number to confirm is on the airport's website.
Reply to @labubuairportenthusiast: Any information? I was told this was strip was initially bought by a German company that wanted to create some sort of airpark community.
This airstrip has evidently not seen a flight in years, and is blocked by farm equipment and sheds. Should have been delisted from FAA records long ago.
This National Park Service maintenance heliport is the closest aviation facility to Kilauea. That is a lot of tephra to deal with during eruption cycles!
Reply to @animebirder: Honestly, the FAA should not be listing this facility at all whatsoever. I was just here in May 2026 and it is basically barely a break in the trees at this point, even the old cane haul road is basically impassable. The only place that FAA LID makes any sense is Microsoft Flight Simulator.
One of the prettiest approaches in the state — you come in up the Sauk River valley under Whitehorse Mountain with the Glacier Peak wilderness beyond. The 2,491' paved strip (10/28) is in good shape. Plan for day VFR, no fuel on field, and bring your own tie-downs. Expect some chop on warm afternoons landing west, and note the west end of the field is a local cemetery — keep your pattern honest.
What sets Darrington apart is the walk: about ten minutes into a real mountain town with groceries, coffee, and a couple of good spots to eat. The Mountain Loop Highway, the Old Sauk Trail, and the Wild & Scenic Sauk River are all right there, and the Darrington Bluegrass Festival every July (50th anniversary in 2027) makes a great fly-in weekend. The town is actively working to bring the airport back to life — come see it while it's still quiet.
Reply to @labubuairportenthusiast: It has not been established in the 90s. While looking at aerial views it seems it has been established at 1979-1980s?
Reply to @ReefShore316: Hey it’s me! So this airstrip was indeed real and the runway was around 390 meters I’d say so and it has been established around the 1950s I’d say so? And that’s all I have for now
