Heliport coverage by the FAA
... is NOTORIOUSLY bad. Even heliports that have continually existed for the last forty years are routinely given GPS coordinates up to 10 miles off course.
This heliport doesn't exist.
This heliport doesn't exist, and hasn't for *years*, if it ever did. There is no pad here, or anything else for a helicopter to land on besides sodden grass. There is no access besides a nearby dirt track. The Sun Drilling Products building is located miles away from the given location. Easily accessible satellite imagery with resolution adequate for spotting a helipad became available with Landsat 4 in 1982: there's no pad then, or in any year.
Hurricane Ida!
Great airport. My first visit was to drop supplies for victims of Hurricane Ida. The place looked like a war zone, in part because an army search/rescue unit was staging from there. Hope to be back when they've built back!
Elevation: ZERO!
Great airport with helpful service, chilled FBO, and cheap gas. But I came here for the selfie with the airport sign showing "Elevation: 0.0"!
Excellent Facility
The cheapest gas for over 15 years is right here
Great facility with courtesy car
Too bad the don't wear masks
Any port in a storm...
I set down here today to wait out the passage of a wicked cold front. I hadn't realized that every building on the field had been literally demolished by a recent hurricane. So, after I tied the plane down (tightly), I climbed back in the plane and rode out the storm. A little lonely but the pyrotechnics were good.
E-8 Tank Battery
The food is not up to par with E-5 battery. E-8 needs more things to do for the kids and not much shopping in the area
Lakefront
As of June 2013 the airport is in great shape (Flightline First is a lovely FBO). The best way to arrive at a still-great city.

Got a response back from the FAA about this
Or rather, I got CC'ed on a message between two people at the FAA saying the following:
Karen, LS20 and LA84 are duplicate records. Make the flwg changes:
ABANDON LS20
CHANGE LA84 as follows: CHANGE the rwy length to: 55 and CHANGE the rwy width to: 55
Henry
Dup?
Ok, this is weird - the FAA data has two "ST ELIZABETH HOSPITAL", one with the id "LS20" and the other with the id "LA84", but with slightly different coordinates.
Wrong ID?
The FAA uses LA84 elsewhere.
Wrong ID?
The FAA uses LA75 elsewhere.
Wrong ID?
The FAA uses LA36 elsewhere.
Wrong ID?
The FAA uses "LA03" on a different airport.
New Orleans Lakefront
Great location to New Orleans. The hurricane tore this place up though. Able to land but everything is in temp buildings and hangers.

I met a couple of gentlemen on a Cherokee 6/300 I was interested in. Sadly I came home empty.
