The Miami Skyline Water Runway Was a Seaplane base located in Virginia key, Florida. The base even had a concrete runway, had Seaplane tours, and Seaplane Air shows, which they stopped doing in 2024. Seaplane operations started in 2017 and Concrete Runway operations started in 2019. Cousin says, “I’ve been here, I’ve saw a few caravan and 185 skywagon Seaplanes, I also saw a twin otter.”
Sunstate Airstrip was a General aviation facility operated between the 70s to 90s. The airport included a car dealership, a Flight school, and a aircraft selling spot. Closed due to Building overrunning the running the runway.
A Field designes for STOLPort Fisrt named Layton Strip by Austin Husain. It Was first established in 1999 and Austin claims It Was used for his Cessna 185. It did not appear in any tophographic map for some reason.

I’m not so sure of this AirPort is real. While i was looking at some AirPort in Miami area i found this AirPort called Redland field so i decided to add this AirPort on Ourairports. If your wondering where i found this this AirPort Was on zipdatamaps.com.
My friend got his home base at this airport he found with the captions: PAVED, 1987x153 FEET, NEED EXPIRIENCE FOR LANDING UNDER 2000 FEET. He told me that he is gonna start flying there with his Cessna 160 and He was so obsessed that he flew there every day from Mac’s field with me. Todally a charm.
The cause on why this field is closed because municipalities built houses over the runway. My friend landed here in 2019. Best Reason to hate municipal figures.
The Sandalfoot Guys Airstrip or Cove Dusters Field was a Private airport owned by Jamie Rash. It was not a popular port and plants grow over the runway causing the runway to close.
Mjd Airport was apparently activated in October 1994 and was privately-owned by Martin J. Dureiko, according to AirNav. It was not depicted in a 1988 topographic map of Miami, and was depicted in a 2012 topographic map. There is a coverage gap of the area between 1988 and 2012. By 2009, the airstrip appeared derelict and disused, with multiple obstructions piling up over the years.
Holley Landing Strip was also known as Holley Dusting Field. It did not appear in a 1982 topographic map of Homestead, but it did appear in a 1988 topographic map. There are no maps of the area between 1982 and 1988 that are available on USGS, indicating that the airstrip was established between 1982-88. The airfield likely closed between 2007 and 2009, as a plantation appeared on the runway by then. It was still depicted in 2012, and did not appear from the 2015 onwards.
John Toole Jr., the owner of Toole's Training Center, used this horse race track as an airfield for a J5 Cub in 2015, which prompted the Davie city council to ban private airfields in the city. The pilot attempted a campaign for city council as a result. Toole ultimately lost his life in a 2020 crash near Orange Springs while trying to land an Aero Commander 100 Darter Commander on an unlit grass strip (FD02 Patch o Blue) at night.

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.
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.
From a problem report: "Another business has bought the airport and is now using it as a solar panel field. Nobody can access the airport unless authorized."
One of the advantages of being a Walt Disney World Cast Member was being able to access the old airport grounds. The runway is still in use, but not for aviation; it's a vehicle storage facility for Disney. You'll have to go to Castaway Cay to find an active airport on Disney property nowadays (2020).
At KORL... Due to Class B ceiling above and catering to the executive jets, a regular joe can wait at the end of the runway or be sent on a cross country while in the pattern just to accommodate a biz jet that hasn't yet made the IAF. It wastes tons of time. Neither MCO or SFB are convenient for quick business trips.
One day I was cleared to land same time a student was right below me on instruments. Tower was not aware. Thanks for the guy behind me turning base.
Seeing your seaplane in the sky always brightens my day! As an engineering student/rusty private pilot who doesn't get to fly as often as she likes, I love to see that the GA community is as strong as ever.
KCOI is a hotspot for student pilots, whether it's you're home airport or you're doing cross-country. It only has one runway (11-29), which makes life so much easier when you're starting out. The final approach for 29 is over the water, which is insanely fun because it's almost makes you feel like you're landing on an aircraft carrier. Sometimes the traffic can be hectic, so keep your scan up, follow the CTAF procedures, and make ALL of your calls. A CFI I know insists on calling it "Scare-itt Island" because of the goofy stuff pilots sometimes do in the pattern, but it's not that bad if you fly safe.
I completed my PPL at TIX, and I can honestly say I love flying there! Sure, you have to watch your ps and qs or ATC won't be happy, but you can't beat the view of Kennedy Space Center when you're taking off from Runway 9. The 4 long runways are give so many landing options, especially for student pilots.
When I flew into this airport, it exceeded my expectations! I thought for such a small airport, it has to be trashy and dirty! But that is completely false!!! It’s clean and well taken care of, and the workers are amazing. When we go to Naples, we usually fly into Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) but we thought we’d change it up and fly here, next time I think we will fly to Miami International Airport (MIA).

Frenchy taught my father to fly and my mom and I were taking lessons when Frenchy passed away. I only had about 8 hours in my log and was 16 or 18 years old. (1976 or 1978 I think). I never took another lesson because I couldn't imagine someone telling me to fly over a VOR to watch the From/To flag switch. But, I still have the cassette tape Frenchy gave me to learn his Art of Flying. Does anyone remember this? Contact me if you would like to listen to it. niahartman@icloud.com
