I clicked on a click bait news story that caught my attention...closed airports. Neat pictures. Are any, other than those mentioned in the story, parks or museums? Any notable additions to the list? Any interesting stories about them to share?

Croydon Airport, Surrey England UK
Donetsk International Airport, Ukraine
Montréal Mirabel Airport, Montréal, Canada
Tegel Airport, Berlin, Germany
Tempelhof, Berlin, Germany

Yasser Arafat International Airport, Palestinian Territories

Floyd Bennett Field, New York, USA
Ciudad Real Central Airport, Spain
Stapleton International Airport, Denver, Colorado, USA
Kai Tak International, Hong Kong
Any notable misses?
I've been to Floyd Bennet Field, interesting place. I've been thinking of a hobby to take up when fully retired, aircraft boneyards was one idea, perhaps visiting some of these old sites might be another. That would make for some interesting meets. I do wish I had had the chance to land at Kai Tak as well as Tempelhof.
What's the point of an open door policy if inside the open door sits a closed mind?
