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
Frequented throughout 24-25 for college
It's ok, being outdoor and all does get kinda tiring but I still fell in love with this city and miss it dearly.
SFO
United Airlines launched new routes from San Francisco to this airport. Starting in the end of March.

This is the parking lot of the Hialeah Racetrack.
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.
Burrs
Burrs has closed down and has been developed into housing.

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.
Breakfast or Burgers
Great spot to fly into for a meal, if you don't mind a dirt strip.
Look up waysideoasisrvpark on the web.

Woods
This flight is really in the forest! Some tall trees all around
Mustang
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.

This is a huge domestic airport.
Wonderful Town
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!

Really busy domestic airport, very frequent airline service, a major airport in Los Angeles.

Reply to @ReefShore316: I couldnβt 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.

Reply to @ReefShore316: In such note, I havenβt known if Charlie cleared out the trees. Since this is private.
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.

re: First comment
Reply to @ReefShore316: Such for a private stol facility. Are you sure Charlie J. Smith cleared out the treesβor flattened the hill yet because of the slope?

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.

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

It is undergoing expansion with a new 2,200 m runway due to open in late 2026 to receive direct international flights.

This is the northernmost permanent airport that serves the northernmost permanently inhabited place on Earth.
First comment.
Will replace Narsarsuaq International Airport and Qaqortoq Heliport in April 2026.
Will have a 1500 m runway, shorter than Narsarsuaq's.

Jaimes Field Was a private Stol aviation facility used and operated by Charlie J. Smith. The airport had just started operation in november 2025 after Smith found out that he could make his own backyard Strip for his stol plane. He loved to bush fly in his home base Nanwalek airport but he wanted his own Field and his dream came true. Notice the big divides plano in the back of the runway, Charlie just says βI donβt wanna move it my plane can land perfectly.β

This airport has seasonal commercial flights to Copenhagen, and its 3047 m long runway makes it international.
To ensure the image quality, I had to zoom out slightly so that it wouldn't be too blurry.
Technically, this airport is not only a US space base, but it also has commercial flights.
Fun fact: This airport has the longest runway in all of Greenland.
I wonder this airport is whose homebase in our members.
First comment.
This airport has international flights to Akureyri and Reykjavik Domestic Airport operated by Norlandair.
(This also makes Reykjavik Domestic Airport international too)
