Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 27, 2025
Closure Date

Not applicable. This heliport is a 'phantom' entry and does not appear to have ever existed as an officially recognized facility.

Reason for Closure

Not applicable. Extensive research of official aviation databases, including the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and historical aeronautical charts, shows no record of a registered heliport at this location. The identifier 'US-11256' is not an official ICAO or FAA code and likely originates from a non-official, user-contributed online database where erroneous or temporary landing zones are sometimes logged as permanent facilities.

Current Status

The coordinates 28.1336, -81.942903 point directly to the campus of Lake Gibson High School, an active public school in Lakeland, Florida. The site consists of academic buildings, parking lots, and athletic fields.

Historical Significance

There is no historical significance for this heliport as it was never an officially registered or operational entity. The location corresponds to Lake Gibson High School, and while its athletic fields may have been used as an ad-hoc or emergency landing zone for medical or law enforcement helicopters on rare occasions, it was never a designated, permanent heliport with regular operations.

Reopening Prospects

There are no plans or prospects for 'reopening' as the heliport never officially existed. The site will continue to function as a public high school.
