Pre-takeoff checklist
Can u still land on them without getting into trouble? There are a lot of them in my area I'd like to check out for fun
I overflew an abandoned airport the other day and I thought it would be a great place for a fly in community. I believe it was closed because as a commercial airport it drew too much traffic and generated too much noise. But with a few exceptions most fly in communities had very few actual take offs and landings. And they could generate tax revenue instead of maintenance expenses.
In Florida, a fly in community would work pretty easiely.... In California, they would burn you at the stake for even suggesting that concept...

I wonder why there isn't one in Owens Valley?
Seems like an ideal place for one.
I can think of two reasons:
1. No one lives there.
2. Turbulence and mountain waves....they can get BAD there.
