Saying goodbye to Blue Ash Airport

     On 8/29/12, the city of Cincinnati had to say goodbye to another one of its General Aviation airports. These past few years while traffic diminished and airplanes were relocated to nearby airports by their owners, organizations like the AOPA had been fighting to keep Cincinnati-Blue Ash Airport(KISZ) alive. Instead of a bustling GA airport that it once was, it will be turned into a recreational park and an extension of a local golf course.

     Although I never got to put Blue Ash in my logbook or had any close connection to the airport, it is always sad to see a local airport close.

  1. Such a shame that Blue Ash has closed. Sorry you did not get a chance to land their before it closed. It holds a special place in my heart as I earned my license there.
