Great site, however sad it may be. Progress, my ass.

Great!

Great site saved to my favorites. Checked out the Michigan site, I flew out of about half of the airports now listed as closed.

2 of the airports in INDY are where I was a "fence kid" when younger

Heyas all,

Yup, I have to agree. The content alone is great, but when you consider the bandwidth the site uses and that it's hosted with ZERO ads or pop-ups, you really have to hand it to the guy.

What the heck, I sent him $20...

Yeah, it is a great website that I have viewed for years. He puts a huge amount of work into it, and it is regularly updated.

I used it to find some remaining taxiways behind a mall in Albuquerque, that I think are now in the process of disappearing.

I sent him a photo of an old airport I found from the air in AZ off of I-40, but we havent been able to figure out what it was.

I love that site...it has Swope Farm (WV11) on it, which is a sloped, curved runway. My friend's grandfather built it, and flew in and out of it for years, even though he only had one eye

I know exactly what you are referring to, I think I have read almost every page of that website

Thanks for leading me to this site. I grew up in Pa. in the 40's 50's with my father flying out of the many old grass strips. I later instructed in Pa. and N.J. in the late 60's and early 70's. I've so many warm thoughts and feelings looking at the fields that were such a large part of my "youth".
Thanks again
