Hedlanda flygplats anlades av Hede kommun och invigdes 1970. Den byggdes 11 kilometer öster om Hede och 7 kilometer sydväst om Vemdalen över den nerlagda järnvägen Hedebanan till Sveg. Arbetet hade föregåtts av en utredning om vilken plats i Härjedalen som var lämpligast för en flygplats, utförd av Tore Kristofferson vid Norrländska Konstruktionsbyrån i Östersund.[källa behövs] Efter att alla fem kommunerna i Härjedalen slogs ihop till en 1974 enligt kommunreformen från 1971 lade den nya kommunen Härjedalens kommun all energin på Svegs flygplats.

This app shows satellite views of random airports. Its aim is to introduce you to the variety of airport structures embedded into the landscape.
This app is based on the Google Maps API, which on the one hand provides a powerful programming interface for web-based mapping applications, and on the other hand opens access to high quality satellite imagery for places all over the world.
The backend is realized in Python with the help of the excellent Flask micro framework.
The locations of airports have been imported from the public domain data provided by the aviation enthusiasts at OurAirports.com. The app displays randomly selected airports of the categories 'large_airport','medium_airport' and 'small_airport' for which runway coordinates are available.
Furthermore, the user interface incorporates icons from Font Awesome and fonts from Google Fonts.
This is brought to you by me, Florian Pigorsch. Feel free to contact me via mail. The source code of this app can be found at Github.
