What Airport is closest to you?

Featured Replies

Hi all, I sometimes see people have the airport of their home town in there info and sometimes do a flight from or to it just for some random fun. So,,, what is the closest Major airport from you and what would be the closest "Any" airport (Air Field, carrier, etc...).For me it's:KBOS for major airport (25 minutes away) & closest airstrip of any kind is KLWM about a 5 minute drive.*The main thing here for the small airport also is too see if you discover an airport closer to you than you think. Here's a good map to aid in your search of airports. You may be surprised to see there's a small airstrip right down the street! :(

EGCD Woodford's Runway 25 threshold is 2.7 miles from my house, with EGCC Manchester International's Runway 23 right threshold 5.5 miles from my house. Off to the west about 35 miles away is EGGP Liverpool Airport, and off to the north about 15 miles away is EGCB Barton Aerodrome. To the south about 35 miles is Camphill, which being a private airfield, has no ICAO code.airport-1.jpgAl
