Repurposed!
Hastings Field is no longer an active airstrip ... for fixed wing craft. There's a pretty shiny looking heliport there now though!
This heliport doesn't exist.
This heliport doesn't exist, and hasn't for *years*, if it ever did. There is no pad here, or anything else for a helicopter to land on besides sodden grass. There is no access besides a nearby dirt track. The Sun Drilling Products building is located miles away from the given location. Easily accessible satellite imagery with resolution adequate for spotting a helipad became available with Landsat 4 in 1982: there's no pad then, or in any year.
Fun place to land
The grass rwy is still maintained⦠landed there a bunch of times in 2021. Its not charted and you have to call or know the owner
I took a helicopter flight here
I'd always wanted to ride in a helicopter, so my wife bought me a ride on one -- I actually got to control it for a few minutes.
Former DEW Line station
This was a Distant Early Warning (DEW) Line station until 1963. The runway outline is still visible.
Ice runway
This airport looks like it's a seaplane base, but it's actually a seasonal ice runway.
DEW line
The Distant Early Warning (DEW) Line auxiliary station was actually at Qaqqatoqaq, nearby.
DEW line
The US military originally built this airport in 1956 as part of the Distant Early Warning (DEW) Line to detect Soviet bombers attacking over the Arctic during the Cold War. It is now a civilian airport with STOL air service.

β @zpaulca at Former Puerto PeΓ±asco Airport, Mexico
The easiest airport for quick, friendly AOE processing into Mexico. 100LL available. Best port of entry for GA in Mexico.
