Palm Beach County Park Airport
It is located six nautical miles (7 mi, 11 km) south of the central business district of West Palm Beach, Florida.[5] When the Army Air Forces left, the CAP unit was transferred from Morrison Field (later to become Palm Beach International Airport) to Lantana for the remainder of the War.In the meantime, Palm Beach International was opened to all general aviation and Boca Raton Airport became operational, accepting aircraft that formerly used Lantana.In an effort to remain competitive, the county applied for and received federal aid for ramp and infrastructure improvements, including landscaping.The landing gear of the 727 were already down when an Air Traffic Controller alerted the Captain that they were on approach to the wrong airport.[11] After the inauguration of U.S. president Donald Trump in January 2017 and his visits to nearby Mar-a-Lago, the airport indicated that due to the security restriction it had to shut down three weekends in February 2017.[12] Palm Beach County Park Airport covers an area of 304 acres (123 ha) at an elevation of 14 feet (4.3 m) above mean sea level.[13] For the 12-month period ending May 21, 2010, the airport had 122,270 aircraft operations, an average of 334 per day: 99% general aviation and 1% air taxi.
