The second Sky Haven succumbed to alloting long before the original one. Honroth died in a plane crash in 1949. This year Willoughby Mayor David Anderson proposed shutting down Lost Nation Municipal Airport. The city acquired the airport in Lake County in 1986. Records show that 17,000 airfields are without air-control towers in this country.
Some airports leave lights on all night to guide pilots.
I learned about such operations when my cousin, Larry Thompson, flew into Fort Pierce, Fla., for a family dinner. He remarked that the lights would be out at the Titusville field when he returned, but he could turn them on from the plane. Larry replied that he would go on to another airport. Pilots, even as the rest of us, have to be adaptable.
