What's your favorite airport?

Any that I have made a successful landing. So far, that's been all the
airports that I have landed at. ;-)

Seriously, I guess I'll have to try some 'new' (adventurous) airports. I
liked it when I had my plane based at Sleepy Eye, MN (Y58) with its 2 smooth
grass runways. Most airports I've landed at are the typical small town
Midwest airport with not too much around, usually for the fly-in breakfasts
during the summer weekends.

Old Rhinebeck in Red Hook NY, with its WW1 vintage airplanes, is fun.

But you can't land there.

You can if you get permission from the owner.

Unless you have a plane that can handle taking off from a short, rough, crooked dirt
field with trees at the end, you don't want to land Rhinebeck.

Everglades City Fl, especially when the engine starts running rough on
landing ( turned out to be a defective plug, but would have made a go around
a bit more challenging with a misfiring engine)

How about Duanseburg (4B1 NY Sectional).
Just a busted up piece of concrete right next to the highway.
The runway (if you can call it that) is below the road surface, so car drivers
must feel like it's a small plane "going in". Trouble is the pilot feels the
same way!!
