Took the Arrow over to KTNT to continue the skill transference from the Luscombe. Made a little video to give folks a look at this "white elephant" of an airport.

Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport (KTNT), formerly Everglades Jetport, was intended to be a six runway facility and was constructed in the 1960's. Due to environmental and economic concerns, construction was halted with only one runway finished. Below are some links if you want to learn more about this airport:

Hey I remember flying over that into Tamiami, wondering 'what the heck?'
Should have called it Gaterport!
