Where did you solo ?

Is that airport still there....

Or... like so many small airstrips, they have been abandoned, lost, forgotten or sold to developers. Today, so many runways, both turf and asphalt, have become homes, businesses, roads and highways.

Check this website... http://www.airfields-freeman.com/index.htm

My first solo was in 1968 at Whiterock Airport, at Brown & Brown Aviation, in east Dallas the day after my 16th birthday... [the weather was bad the day before on my birthday].

Sure enough, I found Whiterock Airport... and sure enough... there's a picture of the Super Cub I soloed in, N9770D !

This is a fantastic web site, I've spent hours there looking at the old pictures, airport diagrams and charts.
Talk about bringing back memories... this does !

This web site has information, pictures, diagrams, charts... for over 1,600 airports in every state of the union !!

One thing I've come away with is that everyone in all the pictures are smiling !!
Every time I go to the airport now, I still smile !!
