Purchace and airplane here.
Duplicate heading?
This might just be Scotia Airport which doesn't show up on the topos ...
re: Almost a movie star!
Reply to @32Aret: According to the Wikipedia page for the film, the "Lincoln Airport" they referenced was a fictional airport in based in Chicago, not Lincoln, Nebraska.
re: Update, airport closed from Google maps view.
Reply to @mikeiaka: whoops, it’s the runway that seems to look like that’s it’s getting demolished.
Update, airport closed from Google maps view.
Seems to look closed, so I settled it from open to closed.

Eppley is a Good Stop in the Good Life
Easy security, very pricey once you're through it. A terminal has a little more than B terminal.
Good fuel prices and very nice FBO

Can Warbonnet Ag Strip be used for powered paragliding ?
My name is Ron and I plan on taking a powered paragliding course. For future reference, I wondered if Warbonnet could be used for powered paragliding and there wasn't a phone #, so I thought I'd leave this message. My email is rheckens@live.com. Thanks for your time on this.
Friendliest FBO I've ever been to!
I spent some time in Beatrice on business. Friendliest FBO staff I've ever seen. I landed in 2010 during the summer heat wave, and I was literally dead on my feet after 8 hours in a 100+ degree plane. The woman working at the FBO told me to go inside and get some free ice water and she would refuel my airplane (at the self service pump) and find me a place to stay overnight. They charged me fuel at the self-service rate, even though they put the fuel in for me. I've been back a few times and every time Beatrice is always as friendly as it was the first time.

Almost a movie star!
The Lincoln airport was the scene of the action for the 1970 movie "Airport", based on Arthur Hailey's novel of the same name. The movie was apparently not shot here; the airport scenes were filmed in MSP.

Nice FBO
Diverted here due to weather in 2004. My spouse said this was the nicest FBO, cleanest bathrooms she had ever seen.
A charming jewel on the edge of Nebraska

— @Nudds at Eppley Airfield, United States
Eppley is, for some reason, one of my favourite airports. It's small and easy to navigate, short on facilities, but big on charm. It has a welcoming atmosphere and is very peaceful on account of its light flight schedule. Its record annual passenger number is just over 5,000,000, so it's not a major hub and is totally free of the hustle and bustle you find in the airports of most major cities.
According to Wikipedia, it is ranked as the 61st busiest airport in the United States, but the number of passengers quoted on that list is less than half of what the airport itself claims. If we take the airport's figures as gospel, then it would rank as the 46th busiest airport in the US, but it's likely the numbers from airports surrounding it on the list are also higher than Wikipedia thinks.
For context, the top three airports by passenger numbers in 2024 were Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson, Dubai, and Dallas Fort Worth with 108,067,766, 92,300,000, and 87,817,864, respectively.
