Directory of Abandoned and Little-Known Airfields

Old Airfields never die, they just cultivate lots and lots of crabgrass. And amazingly there are over 1100 of them all over the US gathered into the Abandoned & Little-Known Airfields site by Paul Freeman ( http://www.airfields-freeman.com/ )

From the front page, the airfields are organized by state. I chose Eastern Kansas (some areas are divided into multiple pages.) Instead of a database result you'll get a page with information on the abandoned/little known airfields in that area. In this example the page starts off with "State Line Airpark (3KC), Leawood, KS," with maps of the airport's location and layout, as well as commentary and photos of the now-abandoned runways. There is some later commentary about what sits on the site now. Looks like there are half-a-dozen airfields with lots and lots of photos, maps, and commentary on this page alone.
