Consider Carefully!

Tribal airport. Do not confuse this with IG4 Grand Canyon West.

Search "Tribe Stole my Plane" on YouTube.

Flew in early to beat the rush.

Super nice. I called a day or two ahead and Monica saved us a car. the lineguys were on top of their game and had us chocked and strapped down almost before we were out. My son and I went to see the UP 4014 Big Boy steam engine.

All I have to say is there are amazing vending machine snack options. 10/10.

A great recreational airfield!

My first flight here was nothing short of amazing. Mr. Swank was very hospitable and it's only one of three Recreational Aviation Foundation (RAF) airports in Ohio!

Rough asphalt

It was not too terrible, but the asphalt was a bit rough, more than what I expected for "fair condition". Otherwise, it's a neat airport to fly into.

Nice well kept airport

I met a fellow pilot to continue Hannaโ€™s journey home from treatment on Lifeline mission.

Is this actually still open?

It's still listed on AirNav, but there's a golf practice and training facility that's basically cut it in half.

Open 1976-2014

It is very weird to make DoorDash deliveries in a samey, bland neighborhood that used to be a thriving grass airfield.

Picture of animebirder

Long gone but ...

There are still visibility markers up on the power lines along Crystal Falls Parkway aligned with the south approach of this former grass strip in 2024!

Aggieland's Best

If you're gonna get a "hundred dollar burger", hard to beat Gate 12 Bar and Grill, which has unobstructed window seating for planespotters. Last time I was here (before COVID), the waitstaff showed me their photos of an L-39 that popped through here -- USAF and USN military trainers (T-6, T-38, T-44, T-45) are a very common sight here and much easier to see and photograph than in Austin.

Duplicate heading?

This might just be Scotia Airport which doesn't show up on the topos ...

A challenging field

Trees are at the ends of both runways, you kinda need to dogleg in and out and it's the second shortest paved strip in the country!

Great experience here

We took our 150 here and the guys in the shop gave us an almost 24 hr turn around on installing a Stratus Adsb and Hobbs meter in it.

Fuel stop

Great guy at the desk. Didnโ€™t seem to mind at all that we came in a half hr before closing.

re: VOR/DME 34 approach to be canceled

Thanks for your work creating this web site. I love it and have told all the other local pilots about it.

Rose Aviation 1973-1977

Hello anyone that worked for Rose from '73 to '77. My name is John Dickson and I, like othersm stumbled across this looking for info on Rex Rose for a good friend. I owe my entire airline career to advancements and good fortune I was able to enjoy working for Jean Rose and her Chief Pilot at the time, Art Olsen. If it wasn't for them and their trust in the young 20 year old I was at the time, I'm not sure where I would be. They both entrusted in me the position of flight instructor, charter pilot, and Telephone Patrol Pilot for PT&T from '74 to '77. I worked with some great people - Ray Patinelli, Gene Fitzpatrick, Joe Harrington, Rob Keenan, Greg Madden, Colby Bridget, Tom Rustemyer, George Chuili, Steve Toon, and dispatcher Nikki Caldwell. I remember very well Linda who has checked on with this blog - and would love to catch up on how Art Olsen lived the rest of his life. I have a great story about Rex Rose (actually two) that I would love to share for anyone who would like to listen. Just let me know. I'll keep any eye out. Anyone out there from that era?

Very Disappointing !!

We stopped at this airport for fuel BUT they just received a delivery of fuel and "had to settle" for 1.5 hours before being dispensed.

Unfortunate landing that could have been avoided if the FBO responded to our unicom calls as we approached the airport. There were no responses as we called out our positions. They did not communicate the fuel issue until we taxied to the fuel farm. Pretty sad lack of communication.

Very nice overnight fuel stop

Rusty was very helpful and made our late arrival very easy

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.

New Home of BEARHAWK AIRCRAFT Company

Nice little airport do not currently have Self-serve fuel but are making improvements. There was a gentleman on field tending an Ag plane and he brought the fuel truck out to top us off. They have recently installed an AWOS system that will go online shortly.

My Wife and I flew down here to meet with Virgil Irwin and his wife who recently purchased the Bearhawk Aircraft Company. They gave us a tour of his facility and then we went for a demo flight in the Bearhawk 5 Airplane.

My Home Airport

Living approximately 9 miles South of PDX for around 36 years I've seen and heard a few planes departing or arriving PDX. I've been interested in aviation since the time I was a toddler. Thanks to those that are providing this site!

NOTAM access

"K" must be prepended to all 3 character FAA identifiers in the "GPS" field to gain access to NOTAMs.

Should be large_airport

I don't know enough about how the categories are defined to feel confident changing it myself but if an airport like KCMA (Wikipedia: Camarillo_Airport) is considered "large" it seems almost absurd to not consider this one large as well

I read all the moaning , it's a pity JFK didn't land here instead of "Love Field"

More aviation history about to be "redeveleoped"

This airport closed in November 2022 and is slated to be turned into a residential development. What a waste.

Picture of rstan

HUGE AIRPORT

Refueled here before going to Mexico

Excellent FBO

Good fuel prices

Picture of rstan

Very Nice FBO

I would use this airport for a stopover again

Nice grass strip that's not used too much.

Took my brother and his wife out to get a tacoma that he had purchased. Chad was great and even cam out and marshaled me in to his back yard. The truck happed to be for sale at his next door neighbor.

Picked up My first Lifeline pilot passengers.

Didn't see much of it as I was meeting another pilot from Rochester, MN to fly second leg to Lamar, Mo

Future Chennault Field

This is the original 1970s crop dusting airport whose footprint would later be reused as the basis for 2020s Chennault Field.

Active air force base...

... but inactive aviation facilities.

Repurposed duplicate heading

Repurposed duplicate to cover a different aviation facility in central Texas.
