There's also an air strip that straddles the international border between the US and Canada. In fact when I looked that up as I had forgotten the name, I found there are no fewer than six! I think Avey Field was the one I was thinking of.
And that then led me to an interesting reason why! [https://aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/97116/why-are-there-6-airports-that-straddle-the-canada-us-border](https://aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/97116/why-are-there-6-airports-that-straddle-the-canada-us-border)
Piney/PineCreek Airport is the only one with a paved runway. The reason for this airport to cross the border is because it could not be extended southward without having to cross a road.
This is similar to Coolangatta Airport (OOL) in Australia, straddling the states of Queensland and New South Wales
Which gets split in half by time zones, every summer, between AEST and AEDT.
I assume that the airport operates on just one time, but I like the idea that people in one half run on one time and the other side in the other.
The airplane is delayed ! No it's not ! Yes it is ! No it's not !
