King County, WA has Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and King County International Airport (aka Boeing Field). The latter does not currently have any international flights.

As the crow flies, Cleveland is closer to Toronto than Cincinnati, but it only takes 4 hours to get to Cincy, while it takes 5 hours to get to Toronto.

Winchester, VA, a southern city with lots of NASCAR fans, is north of Cape May, NJ, a Yankee town with lots of Giants fans.

Far far far outnumbered by Eagles fans. Cape May is a Philly beach with some folks from NYC and DC invading from time to time


Cape May is also the oldest Seaside Beach Resort in the US and served as the Summer White House for a number of presidents in the 19th century


Also of note there are WWII gun bunkers still existing (not in use) that were at both ends of the DE Bay to protect the DE Bay and port of Philly from the Germans - There is much speculation that German U Boats entered the Bay and DE river on a number of occasions.

Nice ferry ride over from Lewes, Delaware, too. I once saw a Parasitic Jaeger flying across the bow.

There is a large bird sanctuary at the Cape May point. Apparently one of the most diverse bird migration stops in the world (or so I have heard as they rest prior to crossing the Bay heading south). Many serious birders make the trek for that reason.

Also the nearby Pine Barrens (1 million acre international eco preserve) is one (think I read second or third) largest natural water cleansing area in the world. It is also considered the most urban such eco preserve of its size basically abuting against the NYC and Philly metros.

An Airport doesn't have to have international flights to be considered an international airport.

Could you explain this? ^


To reach the Northwest Angle of Minnesota by road, one must travel through Manitoba.

Just because it's titled XYZ International Airport doesn't mean that it has flights that fly internationally. They can be hubs, customs check-points, military use, equipped for large aircraft, have longer/wider runways, cargo.

Take Duluth International Airport for example.
It's flights go only to Minneapolis, Detroit, Chicago, Las Vegas, Mesa, and Orlando.
You basically only have the capability of flying abroad. It is also home to the Air Reserve.
