Sounds like Edmonton's old airport.

They eventually closed it though.
That's interesting that they're straight up building housing on such on the former grounds. Even left the tower! But I guess that makes sense given that it's mostly residential surrounding the old airport. Kinda reminds me of Chicago's Midway Intl Airport. Surrounded by residential neighborhoods and even has a trainyard not too far.
There's a former military airport south of Kansas City was closed down in the 90s. It's being used as an intermodal yard and storage/warehousing space now..
Yeah, Idk. If the city closed MKC airport, I wouldn't be too sad about it. As long as they did something cool or interesting with it.
