| 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.

|

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

Did you examine the map view? To the west of the old runway are "Skypark
Drive", "Piper Cub Court", "Navigator Drive", and "Aviator Court".

I just looked at the photo, another mall .
