That big summer jam Darius brought up.

I mentioned to my pops that I was looking for an abandoned airfield to ride on (I heard a rumor about one locally) and asked him (a private pilot) how I could go about finding it. He tipped me off to this site

http://www.airfields-freeman.com/index.htm

It's a decent list of closed/abandoned airports around the country. It's got descriptions, maps, pictures, etc.

A lot of the places closed decades ago and have been developed over, but there are plenty that are recently closed/abandoned.

Some of you in the central US should go out and scope out some of the better spots.

Re: That big summer jam Darius brought up.

All the places for Colorado are either too far from Denver or the pavement is screwed.

If you enter the lattitude and longitude, you can get a pretty good look from Google earth.

Good luck. That family is rich as **** so I do not know if they would want to get into renting it out or not. Also, how can they close a private runway? Are you sure it is definately closed? If so, I would be down for throwing in some $ as well. I am about 30 minutes north of it.
