| 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
