Default Kyler's nearest airport locator

It was a great tool, even after it got moved over to the new site.
aviationtoolbox.org At any rate, it doesn't work anymore, as
apparantly Rand McNally changed their site over, so the postion feeds
don't work.

Does anyone know of a site that provides this same type of info?

Yeah, right, I'm the troll and you're replying to an
Ari Silverstein sockpuppet/aka Jeffrey Bloss,
non-pilot liar, proven Troll.

Please plonk me so you don't benefit from
helpful piloting resources which I provide, or
see the truth for what it is.

Don, for what it's worth, I have found the best way to choose an
airport is to glance at a sectional -- proximity to particular
portions of a city become obvious, ditto highways, and a quick check
on line or in a reference book will tell you soon enough if the
airport has the services you need. I know referring to maps in days of
smart phones seems outdated, but it sure works well.

I've not used smaller airports a number of times because services I
was likely to need (rental cars are often an issue) were not available
when I needed them. Another concern that D/Qs airports are FBO hours
or restricted operations (Hills of Austin -- some name like that,
near the capital in Texas has big fines. I found out from personal
experience, landnig 10 minutes after legal sunset). Personal
recommendations from locals is a favorite resource. There's probably
an on line list serv for airport or FBO recommendations, but if there
is its URL is unknown to me. I probably don't visit 5 airports new to
me in a year!
