Busiest Uncontrolled Field?

[c140]

Bend Oregon is really busy I have been in the pattern many times number 7 or 8 sometimes to land. There's heli training, Fixed wing training, experimentals and 2 aircraft manufacturers on the field Columbia and EPic. Or a Nampa and Caldwell Idaho on the weekends is an absolute zoo with all the weekend flyer's.

Threads from the dead!

Ok, busiest... GAI, BLM are not. Flown into both a couple times. FDK is worse, worst I've been to.

Good to read some of the busier airports are getting towers. Denton, Texas (DTO) used to get pretty hairy before it got a tower. Nevertheless, it was a good environment to learn in; i.e. pattern etiquette, do's and dont's, radio work, etc.

Back in the day, Manassas, Va (HEF) before it had a tower.
Parallel runways, 4 flight schools, corporate and helos. Utter chaos on weekends. Guys were still entering the pattern on Unicom up to a year after the tower went in!
It was at the time the busiest GA airport in Virginia.

Lantana, FL can be a zoo. Used to live and work in Palm Beach County and having moved there from Ohio and a nice cozy towered field with the most laid back controllers there ever were...it took some getting used to.

Lantana is effing nuts. I've been instructing here for 6 months and am amazed I haven't been killed yet! Airnav lists the number of ops at 384/day, but that's over a year. It's very seasonal down here, so that average number is definitely not typical of the crazy winter season.
