Your aprs track fooled me. KCOI shares the same frequency with us. It seems that they are always busy.

Default It Looks and Acts Like an Island...

Therefore it must be an Island.... Rosecrans Memorial Airport (KSTJ). I was just there this past week. When the Corp of Engineers decided to relocate the Missouri river they pretty much made an island out of the airport. It is surrounded by water and you have to cross a bridge to get over the old river route. The airport is more in Kansas than it is in Missouri now.






Lots of Missouri ANG C130 Hercs flying out of there as well. So the question is, does it count?

Regards,

Hey Vlad-

I think you're missing Kent Island / Bay Bridge Airport(W29) from your list. Don't short-change yourself!
