Leesburg is the closest and has an airport on 441. I think its called Leesburg International, lol. There's also one in Ocala, which is 40-45 min from The Villages.

Also, there's a farmer on Rolling Acres Road that has a landing strip next to his house. Maybe you could make a deal with him.

There"s a grass strip in Dallas ( I think) with some sort of sign.

I've heard there's one in Summerfield (maybe that one is the Dallas one). Nearest...depends on where you live. Leesburg's airport (which has been mentioned) is probably the closest

What are you looking for? Full FBO? length? surface? What make and model plane?

There are many airports in this general vicinity. Most are private and many have grass strips. Google can be of help.
