Default No more "Left Downwind"?

If it's convenient for you, I wouldn't mind a scan of the area (1987 and
1965) south of Salinas. In 1981 flew into an airport there (which no
longer exists) with the unique name of "Skypark airport", and was
wondering exactly where it was situated. Alas, I did not save the chart.


I could do it, but I don't think that's where the airport you remember was
located.

Prior to circa 1968 when the new series began sectional charts were printed
on just one side. Until around 1950 the reverse was just blank, but about
that time aeronautical data began being put on the back. The data included
aerodromes that appeared on the front of the chart. There is a "Skypark"
listed on the back of the 1965 sectional, the coordinates are 37 03-122 02,
which puts it about four miles north of Santa Cruz. I can scan that area
for you, but you'll find much more information he
