Narrative:

After arriving at the wrong airport to pick up a passenger for sightseeing, I was informed that there had been a misunderstanding about correct airport. I got back in my airplane and went to the correct airport. Because I had not planned on going to the formerville airport, I had not asked FSS about that airport. When I flew over the airport, the yellow 'X' had blown over, so when I landed and taxied to where a vehicle was sitting, I was told that the airport was notamed closed for runway repairs. I got back in my aircraft and flew home. From now on, I will always call FSS before I fly anywhere.
