My Experience
Vegas Is Very Nice Compared To NYC. A Beautiful City Near Lake Mead.
Brand New Laguardia
A Brand New Modern Airport! I Am Glad To Only Be A 15 Minute Drive FROM It.
Very Nice Flight Service
Nice Airport, Modern, Nice, Lots Of Things To Do. My Flight To Vancouver Was Wonderful!
My Experience
Very Nice Airport, Just The Taxis And Luggage Are Areas They NEED To Improve On
Airline Service = yes
American is operating to Phoenix and Dallas, United to Denver.
Found it
Sometimes, the FAA coordinates are just plain wrong. I found this airstrip using Topo Maps and the address of the owner. It's closed now, but you can at least see where the airstrip was cleared out in past years.
CLOSED
The Happy Valley Airport has been closed since at least 2009. Additionally, the runway is now being used as a driveway for a large house built at its southern end.
The Entire Airport Got Revamped
I Like How My Closest Airport To Me Got Changed ENTIRELY, The Terminals Are Now Different, and More Signs And Services Have Been Built
A Very Nice Airport
Welcome To The Conch Republic or USA! This airport is very nice and I like how it pinpoints the existence of the Conch Republic, i would have not known if it didn't Say "WELCOME TO THE CONCH REPUBLIC" On The Wall.
ROUGH pavement
There are so many weeds growing through the cracks this might as well be a grass strip
Used for 1992 Landing of Mickey Mouse One
Upon the retirement of Walt Disney's private plane Mickey Mouse One (Grumman Gulfsream I N234MM) in 1992, it landed here to be displayed at the adjacent MGM (now Hollywood Studios), as the old Walt Disney World Airport to the north had been blocked off by the construction of the monorail system. Further use of the site for aviation purposes has been permanently precluded by the No Fly Zone orders in place since 2001.
A bit of forgotten aviation history
New York Airways ran helicopter commuter flights here 1965-1968, and again briefly in 1977. A landing accident here on May 16, 1977 killed four passengers and a pedestrian on the street below, ending the use of skyscraper helipads in New York City, though they remain in use in other cities elsewhere, primarily for emergency use.
My Experience

My Experience
Yuma Is Also A Nice Town To Vacation In @Apollu1 , and it is a very nice airport. It also has a pretty nice terminal.
My Experience
A Very Nice Airport, Went here a few times.
Warning: high landing fee, GA not welcome
City council has forced the airport to institute a $35 landing fee (+HST, presumably). There are no exceptions, not even for resident pilots or pilots purchasing fuel. The fee is more than double that of CYTZ, which is downtown in Canada's biggest city.
I suggest taking your travel business to nearby Wiarton CYVV, instead -- it still welcomes GA.

My Experience At This Airport
I Flew Here On A Flight From SFO To Yuma With A Layover In Phoenix, Yuma Is A Very Awesome Town For Vacationing, And It's Airport Is Not Bad For A 90,000 Person Desert Town.

Half Moon Bay Is My Favorite town to Vacation in, and when I discovered this airport, I took a look around, I like it's location next to pillar Point and The Half Moon Bay Jetty.
Very Nice Airport
I Live in san Jose, CA, So i decided to take a va-ca to NYC, and JFK was a very nice airport indeed.
Misplaced marker
I've moved this to the apparent SW-NE runway several km east of town. Marker *had* been in town where there is clearly no airport.
closed?

Tiny but Nice Las Trancas Airport.
Las Trancas Airport Is A Very Tiny Airport in many ideas, Its just a dirt airsrip off of Highway 1, However, Las Trancas Is A Nice Airport, And I want others to know that it is a tiny airport, Since it is so Small, The airport is only limited to Piston Single And Piston Agricultural Aircraft. I want to try buying a plane and landing on the rather tiny airstrip myself, but well not yet... It's right next to a Lumber yard off of Highway One thats right next to the airport, The Airport is a nice airport, but its unknown, Even to Locals Of Davenport! It dosen't even has its own wikipedia Page!
The Airport has a nice but very tiny building thats Clearly Visible When Driving On Highway 1 because it has a wind measuring cone on the top. Its Very Small.
Ideas With the airport:
Buy A Piston Single Or Piston Agricultural Plane And Land Here Yourself, if you want, land here multiple times.
When the place is not used, Help develop the runway by possibly painting it or making it wider by clearing off the grass.
Maybe Add Some Lights, So The Cabrillo Highway Travellers Can See The Beautiful Airport, Also Maybe A Generator.
Idk, reply 2 this comment and give more ideas on what to do with the airport or more facts about the Las Trancas airport.
Runway ident changed
My bad, runway ident has been updated to 27. However, I do not seem to be able to add/edit threshold coordinates. Any idea why?
Runway ident changed
Runway 26 now appears to be runway 27 (as seen in google maps images). All changes I make in ourairports.com seem to be reverted (automatically or by someone). I sent an email to contact@ourairports.com but did not get any answer. Is someone still maintaining this website?
Runway numbers are changed
Current Runwy number 02-20. Incorrect in database.
Excellent Facility
The cheapest gas for over 15 years is right here
Great facility with courtesy car
Too bad the don't wear masks
beware MSFS fake ICAO codes
Yeah, Asobo / MSFS have created a lot of their own GPS/ICAO codes for airports that are not congruent with reality, especially as heliports are not yet rendered in the sim as of the end of 2020 (so they wouldn't catch the duplicate).
First solo flight 1983
When I learned to fly in Canada 1983
I completed my first solo 10. of July 1983 on Midland (Huronia) Airport with an Cessna 150 C-GUKF and finally got the PPL Licence on July 29th 1983.
I never forget this awesome time flying in Ontario. Wonderful!

Recently paved and painted as of 20 Dec 2020. No perimeter fence, directly adjacent to FM 1470 to the south, private residences to the north.
well that's a tight fit
Lots of signage warning pedestrians and motorists going into the adjacent parking garage of the "Helicopter Landing Zone". Rotor wash here must be all sorts of fun.
Name should be changed
The ICAO name is MPCL and the local three letter name used is CLZ
Some more deets
Visible on the old topo maps available in CalTopo, and the eastern half of the runway is clearly visible running due east from the modern-day Lone Butte Casino.

Looking for Belleville Flying Club jacket
My dad still has his Belleville Flying Club jacket from the 90's but it is falling apart. Anyone have one in their collection they would be willing to part with?
Nice FBO
Nice pilot lounge and common area. Great building. Nice folks who work there and are very helpful.
After divorce with my husband
After divorce with my husband i went through a lot of difficulty. I took multiple loans which i never had money to pay back. Well, that wasnβt the best path as it affected my credit terribly afterwards. Got in contact with a specialist after the bank rejected all my proposal for more loan as I needed a new apartment and all I did to fix my credit on my own was all invain . Rich Skrenta Cleared off 3 negativities. RICHSKRENTACYBERSERVICE AT GMAIL DOT COM. fixed my credit in less than 11days.
re: bad runway
Reply to @flopp: Great catch -- thanks! Fixed.
Unusual IATA code "MDN" vs FAA LID "IMS"
The IATA still assigns the code "MDN" to this airport: https://www.iata.org/en/publications/directories/code-search/?airport.search=MDN
However, based on a problem report, it appears the airport itself does not choose to brand itself under that identifier: "MDN is not associated with our airport. Itβs just IMS. Please take the MDN information off or please send me where you are getting information so that I can get it corrected. Iβm the airport manager for the airport and I have been tracking down the source of this misinformation. Thanks"
Since IATA, and not the airport, controls the IATA codes, we will be keeping that code here for now. It would be best if the airport authority reached out directly to IATA to have the "MDN" code deleted.
re: VOR Freqency
Thank you for the comment. There is an NDB (and possibly a colocated DME) on the island, both according to our database and to the Skyvector chart, but no sign of a VOR. Perhaps it would be best to get in touch with the airport or the national aviation authority for more information.
amazing
this airport and surrounding area are stunning
Any port in a storm...
I set down here today to wait out the passage of a wicked cold front. I hadn't realized that every building on the field had been literally demolished by a recent hurricane. So, after I tied the plane down (tightly), I climbed back in the plane and rode out the storm. A little lonely but the pyrotechnics were good.
