Where I live, there are hundreds of little airstrips.
Some registered, the majority is not.

So I have a list of the registered ones and people tell me about others in certain areas!
That is where GE comes in handy, sometimes.

I do a check, and if the place happens to be in the clear side of the country (half of Ecuador is still overcast on GE!!??) I will do a search before getting into the car to check them out personally. (I save some places up and do a few in 1 day; loud music in the car--> love my little road trips).
With the I-phone for GPS; I end up in real rural areas sometimes!!

I have quite a list of personally "approved" airstrips already…….just waiting for my holidays to go there by air!

Great, Google Earth!
