... is NOTORIOUSLY bad. Even heliports that have continually existed for the last forty years are routinely given GPS coordinates up to 10 miles off course.
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.
Great airport. My first visit was to drop supplies for victims of Hurricane Ida. The place looked like a war zone, in part because an army search/rescue unit was staging from there. Hope to be back when they've built back!
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.
LCH Lake Charles Municipal is located south of Lake Charles 10 miles from city center, and 30 miles north of the Gulf of Mexico shoreline. It is the closest airport to midway from New Orleans to Houston.
New commercial airport terminal with two jetway-equipped gates opened in 2009.
Commercial service provided by United Express (Continental) to/from IAH 5 times daily on Saab 340 aircraft operated by Colgan Airways, supplemented by 1 ERJ-145 roundtrip operated by ExpressJet (SkyWest).
Also served by American Eagle ERJ twice daily to/from DFW.
LCH also home to Era Helicopters maintenance base. Additional offshore base for PHI Petroleum Helicopters.
My husband loves to fly and he and my son took a sight seeing flight out of this airport and i was wondering if they still over these flights and what the prices are now? my email address is rachelcarroll012@yahoo.com if someone could please get me this info.
Ok, this is weird - the FAA data has two "ST ELIZABETH HOSPITAL", one with the id "LS20" and the other with the id "LA84", but with slightly different coordinates.
