he team at VFR flightplanning app SkyDemon are no strangers to continuously tweaking to add new features, but one of the latest updates introduces a new feature which ranks airfields simply by the number of unique fly-in visitors in the last two years. SkyDemon’s Tim Dawson explains how the figures were calculated, “Anybody who has taken off or landed at the airfield counts for one point, whether they’ve used it 100 times or just once. Therefore this isn’t an indication of the amount of traffic at the airfield, just how many unique visitors they’ve had which we think is synonymous with popularity and the amount of things to see/do there.” So, we asked SkyDemon for a snapshot of its data in early July and present the top 10 airfields that popped up. Some you could probably guess, some might be a surprise. Read on, and we hope you’ll be inspired to plan a trip…
