Re: file upload: unpaved public airports of the US

'Hi All,

The snow has finally melted here, and my thoughts are turning to air
travel. I got to thinking about visits to grass strips, which make my 24
G happiest, and started hunting for a way to find 'em all. The web
services (eg, AirNav) were no help, but I found one can order a CD of
the latest FAA facilities database for a reasonable fee, so I did.

The CD files are not in a convenient format, but I was able to read the
data into a Filemaker database and then prepare a listing of all public
use unpaved airstrips in the US. (There are over 1200; Michigan tops the
list with 139.

I have uploaded a PDF file of the full US listing, bookmarked by state.
It is a big file (1.1mb), so I also uploaded a smaller sample of only
the Michigan listings.

Private strips are included in the FAA database, but do not appear in my
uploaded file. I can generate a full listing of any state if anyone
wants one...

Now get out there and crush some clover!

Uploaded Files in the Group file area:
unpaved public airports MI.pdf
unpaved public airports US.pdf'

runways (and a paved one for training wheels). It's 1h0, Creve Coeur, MO.
