Other South Florida Airports Photo Gallery - click on image to enter

There were numerous other airports in Dade County that existed long before most of the current residents were born or moved into the area. Unfortunately, like with other historical buildings and features in the county, they have been plowed under and there are few if any historical markers that have been erected to tell people what once existed there.

This photo gallery attempts to preserve some of the memories for future generations.
