According to Co-Pilot AI:
Yes, there had been an airport at the site now dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz.” The location is the Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport, a 39-square-mile facility deep in the Florida Everglades. Originally, it was part of a wildly ambitious 1960s plan to build the world’s largest jetport, with six-mile-long runways and a new city rising around it2.
Only one runway was ever completed before the project was halted due to fierce opposition from environmentalists, Native American tribes, and conservationists like Marjory Stoneman Douglas. That lone airstrip—virtually abandoned for decades—is now being repurposed as a migrant detention center, earning it the nickname “Alligator Alcatraz”2.
So yes, the bones of an airport were there long before the current controversy took flight.
