This guy managed to discover a mysterious abandoned airport on the edge of a cliff and went to explore.

After landing nearby, he took a car ride to scope out if the abandoned runway was safe enough to land his plane on.

And, as luck would have it, he was able to land right in the action to really find out what was hiding beneath the surface

From a dealership to a plane, the area was full of surprises with heaps of potential.

This creator found an abandoned airport on the edge of a cliff and had to explore

More often than not, pilots are looking for new places to land and explore, whether near or far.

From risky airports to little towns, private pilots can explore angles of the world that drivers aren’t able to.

One creator, though, decided to take things to another level and explore an abandoned airport.

Aviation enthusiast and YouTuber Fly Me To The Fun documented how he found an abandoned airport in North Carolina that was harboring lots of history.

According to the creator, the site was once a dealership with a private runway many years ago.

The catch? The place was actually up for sale.

So, after agreeing on a deal, the pilot flew over to see if he could safely attempt a landing at the derelict site.

The landing was bumpy, but once the creator was on the ground, it was time to explore, and what he found was simply amazing.

A car dealership and a hangar with a plane inside were among the interesting elements that the aviation fan was able to explore.

“It’s like not in good shape, it looks like it’s been vandalized for probably years,” he said when exploring the area that was like the dealership space.

Overall, the place was special, with the site used for repairing cars in pretty good shape. The potential for the location was really endless, with a town and a lake nearby.

The abandoned airport is actually for sale, too, and as they say, time really is of the essence.

“Someone needs to buy this place and take it into its second act,” said the creator

There are some interesting abandoned buildings across the globe

Buildings that were once the life and soul of towns often end up lifeless as time goes on due to a variety of different factors.

From houses to airports and even car dealerships, places can end up worse for wear, with explorers keen to have a look at the contents, which can often include cars and other gems.

For instance, there is a car graveyard simply full of Alfa Romeos that was once an old car dealership.

Plus, a long-abandoned warehouse covered in filth was also found to be hiding a treasure trove of classic cars in an amazing discovery.
