The map so far.
UPDATE: Over 200 Airport Geocaches and counting! Every state now has at least one geocache within 1 mile of an airport.
Most I've randomly looked up, but several have been suggested by pilots. Click on the map or click here to see the total list.
Want yours or a favorite added? Email me at < chris at airportgeocaches dot com > When requesting to add a geocache,
using the format found on the listings, which is:
Airport ID (ex. LAX)
Airport Name (ex. Chicago Midway)
Airnav link (ex. pasted link http://www.airnav.com/airport/KALB)
# of Geocaches (if submitting more than 1 at an airport)
Distance from airport (ex. .25, 1.0)
Geocaching.Com link (try to avoid "member only" or ones that require paid subscription)
And whether they're Aviation Related and Pilot Verified
Thanks to all of you that have submitted me geocaches, glad you enjoy the site and concept.
What is
Geocaching? (from Geocaching.com's
website)![]()
Geocaching is an entertaining adventure game for gps users. Participating in a cache hunt is a good way to
take advantage of the wonderful features and capability of a gps unit. The basic idea is to have individuals and
organizations set up caches all over the world and share the locations of these caches on the internet. GPS users
can then use the location coordinates to find the caches. Once found, a cache may provide the visitor with a wide
variety of rewards. All the visitor is asked to do is if they get something they should try to leave something for the
cache.
The Airport Connection?
Us pilots like looking for reasons to go flying. I figured I'd put up some geocaches that are fairly close to airports
so we can go do something to walk off that $100 hamburger. I'm shooting for geocaches that are within a mile
(walking distance) of the ramp. Some airports just don't have any that close. Luckily there are courtesy cars,
and most of us have GPS's anyway.

Travel Bugs. Check out this FAQ on travel bugs. "A Travel Bug is a trackable item that moves from place to
place, picking up stories along the way. Here you can add your own story, or live vicariously through each bug's
adventures." Airplanes & Pilots are the perfect fit for something like this.
