Not so much as of late, but still open. Actually had HS-125 corporate jet service back in the day. Photo was taken in 2005. Current image on Google Earth looks even less cared for.

Gave it away there, evansb. Canadian connection = Alcan; Alcan = British Guiana/Guyana. Mackenzie Airstrip. I knew there was something about that sand! Open House if correct.

Re the USAF Piasecki H-21, my source says Mackenzie, British Guiana. Watooka, Linden and Mackenzie are served by the Linden-Mackenzie airport. It is now just the Linden airport. It was once known as just the Mackenzie airport. What was the USAF "flying Banana" doing in British Guiana anyway? I can speculate, but I have no facts to back me up.
FYI Watooka was a residential area of MacKenzie Guyana, named after Watooka Creek (an Amerindian name).
