That's Spencer NOLF (NRQ). Practice field north of Pensacola where Navy / Marine TH-57s do pattern work.

NRQ was always a good check ride question. "Umm, I think it's a VOR with DME."

Took me about 10 minutes to figure it out - the chart is depicting it as an airport with 8 runways, hence the funny symbol.

Which one is the active?

All of them.

What is the purpose for that runway configuration? To simulate carrier decks?

 

[Seanaldinho]

Helicopter training site. A fairly common sight in Northwest Florida.

What are all the rwy designations?

The configuration allows adjustment for change in winds so they can almost always land into the wind. The course inbound is assigned by persons on the ground based on winds.

They have 4 deck landing sites available.

What the Army uses. Basically like a NOLF but they refer to them as stagefields. Most are tower controlled as well.

Hahaha!

Speaking of that esteemed organization, we need to see if we can find someone interested in joining in a game or two.... http://www.sjgames.com/illuminati/

"The object of Illuminati is to take control of the world. The phone company is controlled by creatures from outer space. The Congressional Wives have taken over the Pentagon. And the Boy Sprouts are cashing in their secret Swiss Bank Account to smash the IRS!"​

But maybe Munchkins would be more in line with 6PC's and Tim's odd humor

Heres another one the navy uses in a similar part of the woods.

Glider field I learned at is maybe 2 miles to the west.

Gawd, that makes my PTSD flare up just thinking about that place. 3 mile final approach at 50 kts.... <shudder> "what lane did he clear us for?"

Lol! Yeah a painful experience. Sometimes an absolute nightmare when both patterns are at max capacity. You can take only so much before you need to move on to an RT to break up the boredom. Good memories of BBQ at Florala and Andalusia. A lot of Army Aviation history in those parts.
