Yikes! A new airport.

I'm barely east of an airport's class E airspace, and now, just west of another's. The other airport wasn't there the other day. The park where I sometimes fly is in a slightly wider sliver of class g airspace. It was wide open on the east side.

It shows in Airmap, but not on the sectional at skyvector.com. Yet.
 
It might not be on Skyvector until the FAA publishes their changed sectionals, I think the next south central is supposed to come out this August.

It's really a shame how hard it's become to find spots to fly :/ I used to just call the towers to advise that I'd be flying near their airports (usually around 4 miles away, perpendicular to approaches and takeoffs, never getting above a couple hundred feet), and they really never cared.
 
I usually fly pretty low. Like among the trees. If I'm going to interfere with a manned aircraft, he has a lot more to worry about than my 300 gram drone.

I discovered this reviewing flight records in the DJI GO program. "That was NOT E space when I flew there!"
 
Will the Control Tower at an airport give your the Classification for that airport? Being not an actual pilot, I have no idea about airport classifications.

For the time being, only if you're class 107. The rest of us have to wait till July 23 by last estimate. Working on part 107.
