.jpg) Airport in the Sky & ACE Clearwater Airfield The Airport in the Sky occupies a 1,602-foot-tall mountaintop at the center of the Island, 10 miles by road from the city of Avalon. It's a unique and exciting destination no matter how you arrive--via Wildlands Express, bicycle, on foot, or private aircraft. During your visit enjoy breakfast or lunch at the Airport in the Sky Restaurant. The single 3,000-foot-long runway was originally constructed in 1941 by blasting and leveling two adjacent peaks, then using the resulting debris to fill in the gaps. In early 2019 the aging runway was repaired through a unique partnership between the Conservancy and the Department of Defense as part of an Innovative Readiness Training (IRT) project. Now dubbed ACE Clearwater Airfield, the repaired runway provides a smoother, safer experience for all of those who fly in to Airport in the Sky. To contact the Airport call: 310-510-0143.
