What was formerly the "Tampa excutive airport" is no longer there. It's been leveled and a convenience store built on the spot. I think there are plans for some sort off apartment complex also.

^i was there about 2mts ago and didn't see any tracks. Everything was either dug up or paved over. The store is sitting where the "entrance" used to be and there's a short 2 lane road cutting across what used to be the 2 hangers and the runway. Is there a piece still left in the bushes? Because the lenght of the new property doesn't extend as far lengthwise as the airport.

you cant see any of it from the road, which makes it perfect. only thing you can see from the road is the turnaround at the very end if you're driving on 54. you basically have to have a truck/suv to get back on the track

Took this there a couple months ago

I was gonna say I thought it was gone. They are getting ready to build a business park or something like that there aren't they?
