Smallest airport you've ever flown into?

So I'm off to IYK tomorrow for work.
I think for me this will be the smallest North American airport I've been to yet, although I expect that to be topped(sic) by CHO, which we'll be flying into later this summer for my brother's wedding.

What's the smallest airport with regular, scheduled service you've ever been to?

Prior to this, for me, it would have to be AYQ in 1997. Only recently paved, a couple flights a week, with no taxiway. Just run out to the end of the runway, then double back and pull off onto a parking pad. I don't know what it's like now(not really sure I want to think about that).

Other small(ish) airports I've flown into:
ALS (No jetways, just walk out to the plane, but they did have jets. I flew a BAE-146 out of there)
LAN (Embraer only for me . My uncle was so proud when they finally put in jetways so NW could bring in their DC-9s)
FNT (Saw RJs, flew in on a Dornier, flew out on a Saab 340)
CLD(Embraer)
MRY(Small, no gates, actually flew in on an A320. talk about scary...)
VTE is actually pretty big size-wise, and they can take widebodies,even though they don't have many flights, so it's pretty empty, but I don't think they count.
