Are there any of these in your area? It seems like most towns here have tiny “regional airports”. There are also quite a few landing strips.

When my grandmother live nearby, her neighborhood had a landing strip that backed up to it. We used to walk to the back of her neighborhood and you could see the windsock as well as the framework of an airplane hangar across the fields, even though it was pretty far away.

There's a small airport at the end of the road that my gran lives on.

I live on the south side of one of the USA's busiest general aviation airports here in Colorado (Centennial)

Since I live in the state with the highest percentage of private aircraft ownership, there are a lot of landing strips around my home.  The local airport has 4 runways: 1 for commercial/turbine traffic, 1 paved for general aviation/non-turbine traffic, 1 dirt strip and a water strip.  There are also a lot of neighborhoods built around landing strips in the areas surrounding town.
