This week marked opening day for baseball teams across the many professional leagues in the U.S. For pilots who happen to be fans, this rite of spring marks an opportunity to boost flight hours by flying to as many games as possible.
To help with flight planning, we assembled a list of airports that are close to ballparks. We focused on the minor leagues, in part because their fields tend to be closer to GA airports. Of course, there are exceptions. Boston’s Logan Airport is very close to Fenway Park, home of the Red Sox. However, not every private pilot would be comfortable flying into that Class B hotspot among the heavy iron.
