September 29, 2025This is a fine located airport in need of some real upgrades. The runway is a bit rough, the taxiways are narrow, and the facilities are old. The major concern here is the quantity of overgrown trees everywhere. The PAPI is turned off for both runways as the approach paths would no longer give sufficient tree clearance. The trees also make it tough to locate the airport.
