Airport Search 
The Airport Search allows you to search our entire database of over 30,000 airports using only an IATA ID, ICAO ID, FAA ID, Airport Name, City, State, or Country.
Partial entry is also allowed in searches if, for example, you only know part of a city name.
For example, a search in the City field for Los would return records with Los Alamos as well as Los Angeles.
A wildcard character, %, may also be used. A search for %gel% would also turn up Los Angeles as a result but may also turn up any name or ID also containing gel in it.
Feel free to experiment with different searches.

CA22 Airport Things To Do: Lauppes Strip Airport
CA22 Airport Weather: Lauppes Strip Airport
This city has a pioneer feel, particularly in some of the museums and in its capitol building. Of special note, the old Sutter's Mill and Fort have been preserved and rebuilt. It's a fascinating place to visit, full of history and excitement of the Gold Rush years. Other museums and attractions allow visitors to participate in the Gold Rush culture, panning for gold in the river or seeing how the early forty-niners lived.
Children's attractions abound in Sacramento, making it a wonderful destination for families. The Discovery Museum is a hands-on replica of Sacramento as it was in 1854. The state Indian Museum has a great deal to teach children about Sacramento's earliest residents. Of course, children love the old Gold Rush exhibits and the stories they have to tell.
Sacramento is the capital of a state with 33 million residents, but it has retained an independent air. From Indian land to Gold Rush to the present, Sacramento has seen a wealth of changes, yet it has remained a beautiful destination celebrated for its wonderful scenery and blooming flowers. Sacramento is often overlooked during visits to California, but surely it would be a mistake to miss visiting such a historic and friendly city.

Local Seasons:
As the Capitol of California, this city is bustling year-round; however, summers tend to be busier as tourists come to visit the wine country as well as other major cities within California. The weather in Sacramento is delightful all year. High temperatures in the summer can get into the 90’s F mid-day; however they drop to the 50’s F at night, allowing for a variety of activities to be experienced. Winters are just right for outdoor activities during the day and enjoying a fine meal by a warm fire at night. Spring and fall offer much of the same with relatively warm temperatures during the day and cooling off at night. No matter what the season or what the reason for your visit, this California Capital welcomes you.
