In the middle of a forest, no runway in sight

seems to refer to an airstrip at 9.162133, -72.488460

Location has been moved by: @rusudani

runway looks overgrown or non-existent

Airport does not exist, location is a housing development in the mountains...

La Guaira is served by Maiquetia's Simon Bolivar airport, and does not possess one of it's own

Closed, added pilot info link.

Been to Bobures, no airport there.

No remains of airfield visible either, ICAO code belongs to Boca Anaro Airport in Barinas according to SkyVector.

Moved to apparent agricultural strip that is indicated on OSM and satellite data.

Visible lack of markings on runway, it's overgrown slightly and i have not heard of any traffic in a while and cannot find any evidence of recent activity. Probably derelict.

Marked as closed. Thank you!

No written justification given for this problem report. Closed aviation facilities remain valid listings for historical and information purposes, especially when they remain visible in satellite imagery.

I am currently going through the database in order to merge it with my personal DB on airports and came across a few Dupe ICAO ID's. This was one of them.

I read the problem report on this being a nonexistent airport, so deleting this one would eliminate the Dupe ID's issue, but before I did that, I decided to do some research. According to US DOD chart TPC K-26C Dated May 15, 1996, the airport does (or did) exist but about 3NM north of the L/L listed on this site. I did go looking for evidence of the runway but found the area mostly overgrown and I found very little to verify the runway location 100%. I have worked on updating DOD/FAA charts during my career and realize that the “Allowable Error” on an airports position is 1 SM, if it is more that that, a position arrow should be utilized OR you must label the Airport position as “Estimated”. The thing to remember, is the “Allowable Error” is there to allow the cartographer to slightly move an airport position symbol to a less congested area of the map if needed. DOD TPC charts are therefore usually accurate enough in non-congested areas.

I located the airport on Sky Vector as well, but 3 NM south of where the DOD charts said it should be and with a different ICAO ID of SVFZ. In the past if the DOD charts and Sky Vector offered different info, I went with the DOD charts and found the airport on satellite photos to verify.

Bottom line, the airport does or did in fact exist, but is now no longer in use and too overgrown to find. I will continue to try to locate the runway, my next stop will be to go through local contour maps to find it.

Thank you for the help. Marked as closed for now, but please feel free to move the marker when you find more information.

Airport is said to have no airline service. This is wrong, three airlines are serving this airport.

Thanks, @PatrickZ

The correct ICAO code is SVWQ

Corrected ICAO code. Thank you for the report.
