Created circa 2008-11, Kinrara Airfield was a simple tropical island airfield equipped with a single north/south asphalt runway. On the eastern edge of the island, alongside the centrally-located landing surface, were two hangars (one large, one small) displaying aircraft manufactured by airfield owners Spijkers & Wingtips. There was also a small marine and tiki lounge where pilots and sailors could relax after a long day of sailing or flying.[1] The airfield ceased operating in 2013, as it was superseded and replaced by S&W's new airfield venture in the 'Honah Lee Trudeau' region of the (recently formed) Honah Lee Estate.
