I'm not in the market, just wondered what they go for now. The folks live
on the western shore of Turtle Lake, about a half mile south of I and
Lexington.



Abandoned & Little-Known Airfields

Go to MN
Go to Mpls-St Paul area
Go to University of Minnesota Airport

(I have a friend who soloed at this airport in the late 1940's, when he was
a student at the U. He said it cost next to nothing for him to fly a J-3 Cub
there - as a U of M student.)

The intersection of County Rd I and I-35W is in the bottom of the 2001 color
photo of the U of M airport. County J is along the top of the open field
were the big new Wells Fargo Ops Center is today. Lexington Ave is off the
right side of the picture by an inch. Your folks place is over (diagonal
down) one box. g

ANE is just out of the picture to the top-left.

The list also includes "Southport" Airport - Apple Valley
County Rd 42 (150th St W) and Cedar Ave (State Hwy 77)
I saw the Thunderbirds and Blue Angels here as a kid.

"Northport" Airport in White Bear Lake hung on well into the 90's.
