Loring International Airport (LIZ)

Loring International Airport (ME16 / LIZ) in Limestone, US, operates primarily as a private airfield within the Loring Commerce Centre, a redevelopment of the former Loring Air Force Base. It currently does not offer commercial airline service, meaning there are no typical traveler reviews regarding passenger flights, terminal facilities, security, or customs experiences in the conventional sense. Most recent "experiences" relate to its historical significance, military training exercises, and its growing role as an aerospace hub for aircraft maintenance and retrofitting. Visitor sentiment, largely centered around the Loring Air Museum and the historic arch hangar, is generally positive for those interested in its past.

What Travelers/Visitors Love:

• Historical Significance: Visitors are drawn to the airport's rich history as a major Cold War Strategic Air Command base, with many expressing nostalgia and fascination for its past.
• Well-Maintained Airfield (for its purpose): The 1,600-acre airfield, including its substantial 12,101 ft runway, is kept in good condition, supporting its use for various aviation activities such as aircraft repair and military training.
• Arch Hangar: The massive arch hangar, one of only two like it in the U.S. and the largest monolithic arch structure in the U.S. at the time of its completion, is a significant draw for tourists and a preserved historic structure now housing operations like Aero Intelligence.
• Community Collaboration: Recent efforts to attract new businesses like Aero Intelligence highlight strong community collaboration in maintaining and developing the former base.
