Abandonned many years ago, not on chart anymore

Flown in several times during flight training. Now San Carlos has a well stocked aviation supply shop, San Carlos Aviation & Supply. They have a fully packed shop and what they don't have Hans will get for you.

Landed here early 2013 on an Angel Flight from KPAO. Nice runway, pretty mountanious scenery in and out. FBO (Susanville Aviation) was very helpful and had fuel and oil for us.

Was there very late at night, and even though they were closing up all the staff was very friendly and helpful

Recommend using on-field VOR to get there, otherwise hard to find

It is for sale as an airfield. Who are they kidding ?

Don'tg even think about it. This is NOT an airfield by ANY definition

Very uneven, unmowed, very narrow [next to ordhard] , LP gas tank right next to 'runway'.

This might have been a grass strip usable by a Piper cub at one time, but it is NOT SAFE to consider this even in an emergency !

If this was ever used, it has been years. I repeat not safe.

Current manager's tele # is no longer in service.

Very friendly and accommodating

I'd like to see where the fences are, I understand that is the only real hazard. lol

the Cordes Airport is private and closed --

The NDB is "Broadus", BDX 335 kHz. L/L is N 45 26 09 x W 105 24 40

This airports Non-Directional Beacon has been off air since Nov 2006.

I flew in here when I was visiting a relative in Kingston (about 15-20 min drive) on 4/24/13. Not the easiest to spot from the air as its surrounded by trees, but its a cool little airport. You can't see both ends of the runway when on the ground - the middle of the runway is at the apex of a hill, hence the name. When on final and right after takeoff you're still below the trees, so its kind of cool actually. Its not clear where you're SUPPOSED to park, but I parked down the hill on the East side of the field on the grass and that seemed to be OK.

All in all its a beautiful area.

I have had several experiences with WestAir to rent an airplane or have some flying lessons and it was always satisfactory. In 2011, I had a rough engine on a C172 (problem with the mixing) with an instructor and I was not charged.

Be aware that the airport has the highest number of runway incursions.

Red Bird was the airport that I first flew in a private plane a Piper Tri pacer

Special Collections is on the 6th floor, not the second. Sorry for the error.

For anyone looking for photos of the Amon Carter Airport (Greater Southwest Int'l Airport) Check with the Univ. of Texas library, SPECIAL COLLECTIONS up on the 2nd floor. The photos were primarily taken by the Ft. Worth Star Telegram and donated to the library. The photos are mostly black and white. They are excellent! I can atest to that. I visited the library about a year ago and was pleasantly surprized at what they have available. Photos can be purchased at $10 per print. Unless you have another outside source, this collection is by far the best I've ever seen. Check them out.

It appears on Google now. Their imagery is usually from USDA or other federal sources, not always satellite as it costs real money to get that. Paulding County may or may not have invested in photogrammetry to that extent.

Was the Best place in the world to learn how to fly and instruct. We lost a lot of pilots in the old days and things have changed a bit, 100LL was $1.15 and I remember complaining to Suburban fuel in Mountain View. Been flying and instructing ever since.

The runways on the Coeur D Alene airport were re-aligned last summer.

The new headings: Runway 02/20 and 06/24.

Wharton County

The airport changed names from regional airport to Paulding Northwest Atlanta Airport in 2009. Located 25 mi NW of downtown Atlanta, the airport was developed and branded to specifically attract industry and corporate aviation groups that will bring the jobs of the future to Paulding County.

Years ago, when I didn't know of the existence of this aerodrome, I was driving on Jog Road and suddenly I see an small single engine high-wing airplane approaching at 90 degrees from my direction, very close to the ground and dissapering behind some trees. Honestly I thought that was some kind of emergency-crash landing.

I made a totally illegal U-turn to check the situation. And wow!, to my surprise I see the aircraft, very confident, taxing around on a grassy landing strip.

Even up today, this aerodrome in the middle of a residential area, still looks like a cool oddity to me.
