About Menkijärvi Airfield
Menkijärven lentokenttä on Alajärvellä Menkijärven kylässä lähellä Lapuan ja Kuortaneen rajaa sijaitseva lentopaikka. Lentokenttää käyttävät Alajärven Ilmailukerho, Järviseudun Lentokerho, Vaasan Lentokerho sekä kesäisin Ilmasotakoulun Lentokerho ja Etelä-Pohjanmaan Ilmailukerho. Keväisin kenttä on myös puolustusvoimien käytössä, jolloin se saattaa olla siviileiltä suljettu. Kentän pääkiitotie on hyvässä kunnossa, eikä siinä ole vaikuttavia reunaesteitä. Toista, vanhaa kiitotietä käytetään pääasiassa hinauskoneiden laskeutumiseen ja purjekoneiden varalaskupaikaksi, ja sen pinta on murtunut ja osittain kuoppainen.
