Lomita Flight Strip

Here's a more recent picture with fog obscuring the coast:


I went there on Thursday to see the Western Museum of Flight and in particular, their Lockheed Quiet Star. I'll post my pictures when I get organized.

The three large buildings with the white and grey roofs are the Robinson Helicopter factory. The museum is in the hangars with red doors.

RegDep has control.

The former Kent County Airport, in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I understand this airport closed in late 1963. Correct ?

Correct Bri!

Closed and urbanized.

The main runway is nowadays Roger B Chaffee Memorial Boulevard.

Swedish Bristol Bulldogs (J7) at Hässlö aerodome, Västerås, Sweden. ESOW/VES Vesteras.

The buildings on the right are a give-away. As Swedish as they come.

Correct, ZH875, it is Kimbolton Airfield.



The Hunts Kart Racing Club track on the east side of the airfield, upper left corner of the aerial picture.

Over to you, Sir!

How about this one? Flew in and out of here in the late 80's. No clues yet.

I cannot find it on the list or in a thread search. I'm surprised its not .....

Well, that one did not last long. Absolutely correct. I don't know how RegDep does it either......

I last flew into Paderborn in my one and only flight in a Cessna Titan on my way to visit Nixdorf.

It lasted a total of 36 minutes (the challenge, not the flight....). RegDep you have control.
