North Little Rock (ORK): Situated in-between Little Rock Air Force Base, Little Rock National Airport and a restricted area that starts at the edge of the field. Plus it's full of weekend flyers that will literally fight over who's landing, while landing head-on!
Wilson (4F8): Private owned public use airport. It has a 3000'x50' runway that has grass, normally hay height, growing on it. It's within a pine farm with the trees maybe 20' on each side of the runway. It use to have a deer feeder on the runway! It was actually NOTAM'd and located in the AF/D.
A local highway crosses the approach end and is elevated enough that a good size truck would be missing its roof if you met.
Old Conway Airport (CWS): A perfect example of city expansion. It had two great runways but with almost no useable length because of the displaced thresholds. If you lost your engine on takeoff you'd either hit a grain silo, a Home Depot, I-40, or houses depending on your direction. The said grain silo required a s-turn on final because it jutted into the approach path. The airport manager was an a$$ and hated anyone who wasn't based on the field.
The new Conway airport (CXW) is extremely nice and is located in river bottoms away from the city. The new airport manager is great, the fuel prices are awesome, and the terminal is one of the best in the state! The only better terminal, in my opinion
, is at XNA because they have free hot dogs and ice cream!
