ABSTRACT
Airports come in many different shapes and sizes, but to date large airports have taken up much of the conceptual airspace, leaving tiny airports, in Australia, in trouble. This chapter lends an ear to that trouble by focusing on airports which do not provide regular public transport (RPT). These tiny airports serve their regional and remote communities, and the world of aviation, in other ways. They could be said to be at a “remove,” because they provide a form of mobility that includes qualities of “wayfaring.” As this chapter reveals, even when there is work to be done, these airports and their varying, multiple flying constellations are capable of generating a sense of community and provide opportunities for exuberance, as well as the potential for frustration due to their having been ignored for so long.
